Superally Posted December 14, 2021 Report Share Posted December 14, 2021 Week 18 and it’s the halfway point of our season already, and as we head towards the festive season we have a tough set of four fixtures against top of the league teams. The first of which brings the Pars faithful to Rugby Park at Kilmarnock. Taking points from any of these teams will count as a significant bonus especially away from home. Tommy Wright’s Killie who have performed lower that expectations in 4th spot in the league and 5pts behind leaders ICT will still be formidable. Killie surprisingly have scored only two more goals than the Pars but we have conceded 17 more goals and that would account for them being 15 points ahead in the league. Recent form hasn’t been good though and currently over the past 5 games they have the worst form in the table only winning one game and losing four earning 3pts. The Pars form over the same period has been better collecting 7pts from two wins and a draw. The last outing between the two teams at EEP was a 2-2 draw with goals from Thomas and a last minute extra time goal from Comrie following an assist from Toderov. Although The Pars scored 3 last time out, we also conceded 3 - even though I think I’ll be happy with more of the same. Yogi is still looking to get a balanced team and won’t be helped by Thomas’s long-term absence and while Lewis Martin pulled on a shirt against a bounce match against Livi a return as a trialist is probably not likely for the remainder of this year. Logic determines 1-1 draw and a valuable point. COYP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1950Par Posted December 14, 2021 Report Share Posted December 14, 2021 Yes I would take a point right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyboy Posted December 14, 2021 Report Share Posted December 14, 2021 Capable of getting a point. I fear we'll put in another QOS performance, so will go 2-0 Killie. Although we seem to fare well against the top teams, apart fae big Dicks lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymie Posted December 14, 2021 Report Share Posted December 14, 2021 Rugby Park is a huge pitch. I’d be tempted to try and get O’Hara in the team, along with fit guys like Pybus and Allan. A draw would be a good outcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambo1885 Posted December 15, 2021 Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 Would happily take 1-1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superally Posted December 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 Team news: Williams Comrie Breen Connolly Edwards Dow Dorrans Todd Allan Wighton McCann Bench: Graham, Macdonald, O’Hara, Kennedy, Todorov, Pybus Mehmet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted December 18, 2021 Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 Could be a 41212 narrow? Dow behind the strikers, Todd and Allan as the middle two? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted December 18, 2021 Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 Kennedy on the bench is a surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superally Posted December 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 Gasputis dropped altogether! and Kennedy benched. Wighton must have impressed on the midweek bounce game. Hoping the full v backs can get forward as there is no width there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lochalsh Par Posted December 18, 2021 Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 Interesting selection today and a bit surprising. Hughes was a centre half so I am sure that the back 4 will do fine against the set piece threat of Euan Murray. High balls into the box may be a feature of Killie play. I am looking for some hard work by Wighton who can worry, harry and score goals when he is on a game. COYP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raymie Posted December 18, 2021 Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 Could be a simple 4-4-2? last chance saloon for Wighton ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelty_par Posted December 18, 2021 Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 Who’s playing left mid if it’s a 4-4-2? Todd and Allan never a wide player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymie Posted December 18, 2021 Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 (edited) Possibly a diamond formation ? Edited December 18, 2021 by Raymie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
