Sutton_blows_goats

I think the grip socks help prevent blisters and ankle rolling. Still not sure why they cut the feet off the football tube socks and then overlay them and cut the holes at the calves. Must be to stop them slipping and moving about.

Think you jinxed it

Its a bit odd, as i understand the compression of the sock at the back of the calf helps prevent muscle fatigue and thus cutting it to release the compression would stop that? Also i think they all wear 'grip socks' under their football socks which are bascially just tubes as they cut the feet off them (to complicate matters more)

But we don’t play against similar quality in domestic competition. So not sure it’s a valid comparison. The level of our players should be far higher than the opposition most weeks. Like today the striker we were up against was probably working part time in B&M to supplement his wage while playing in the Vauxhall conference league a few years previously. Soutter would have been rusty today by not playing recently and Goldson actually looked like he was paranoid about being caught out like he was for the second parkhead the way he kept stepping up.

No one seen this run of results coming. Incredible work. Even with the result a few days back I think is any of us were offered this when Beale was sacked we would have taken it. No one would have believed this to be possible.

Agree I thought both he and Soutter looked shakey today.

I’m on the Dujon hype train btw

Great 3 points against a good side. I really like the kind of football we are playing like now and our tenacity, playing with a real intent that hasn’t been there for some time.

What a ball from McCausland to Cantwell, Cantwell should score!

Sterling there winning the ball and doing the wee zidane pirouette

Silva comes in for Dessers. Interesting.

Another well worked goal for Cantwell. Great ball in from Ridvan right into the dangerous area. Masons must be still on holiday today after that penalty against us eh?

There have been a few glimpses of this in previous games, I like how he can come inside and overload, also how he doesn’t always look to take a touch and cross every time he gets the ball. The real question mark over him for me is can he stay off the treatment table.

Killie are a decent side you can clearly see their defensive shape and structure it’s hard to play through. The first goal was a perfect way to play through them. We have applied a very direct style of play and played with a good intensity. It’s exactly the way to play against these opponents.

Oooft what a take and finish sima, outstanding.

Perfect timing

Wow what a goal. Fantastic from strat to finish.

Soutter looks very rattled so far today. Hope he picks up.

Ridvan our bright spark so far. Cantwell and Sima miles off the pace.

Feel sorry for Sterling on the bench but Dowell is a bit more progressive in the midfield v the low block of Kille. Good to see Silva on the bench.

Manager said he would asses him after Celtic game when he started training. So never mentioned lack of eligibility.

Big Silva up front. Lets go.

Might be a controversial opinion but I dont know what they are expecting with that squad. Its bang average and he has them punching above their weight.
