I really am starting to believe we are cursed with injuries.

Its ok we still have Ben Davies lolz.

[Frankie 8,665]

He's not been in good form but losing Goldson for the rest of the season is a blow and with Sima and Matondo also still missing, we're once again getting short of reliable options.

 

We may be forced into something like this on Sunday bearing in mind Borna's last game v Killie. Perhaps more like Scott Wright plays on the right with McCausland or Silva on the left.  Some goal contributions from them would be a big help!

Over the years I’ve always looked at Killie as a bit of a bogey team for us now with all these injuries it will be a hard ninety minutes but we can’t afford to falter three points by hook or by crook is a must .

Mon the gers.

No matter the personnel, we have to start the game with the right mindset, not scared of the occasion, not allowing our opponents to settle into the game, or even worse get a lead in the game, and an early goal would be a huge weight off the collective mindset, but to do that we need to be tight on it. It will be absolutely no surprise how Killie line up and play, we have seen them and McInnes an awful lot and it never changes, so it really is up to us to force the issue right from the start.

Of course we will know by tomorrow evening if Hearts have managed to get us back into the title race or not, my guess is not, but that could have an influence on the atmosphere if the result is a positive one. 

Overall I really want to see a change in mindset from recent games, we have looked scared and negative since the Motherwell defeat and PC has to find a way to get them confident again.

Other clubs have injuries too. What they don’t do is keep giving their continually injured players new contracts
