Maybe it was just the plastic pitch but I thought our play was quicker

I would envisage an energetic performance (bounce) giving us a more comfortable game than is customary in Kilmarnock.

 

Then we will give Motherwell a doing. 

We will say Ferguson is the chosen one.

 

Special trumps Chosen, then a defeat at Parkheid.

 

Then it will be, ...told you Ferguson was a mistake.

 

Players, supporters and habits.

 

 

 

Part One: ✔️

 

Took a while but comfortable in the end. First time we have won a league game there by more than one goal, for 14 years.

 

Part Two coming soon: Scud Motherwell

We were noticeably narrower yesterday.

 

After half-time especially, I noticed Cerny was narrower, which made it look like we were shaping up in a 4-2-2-2. 

 

It meant we could play through their press more, instead of getting forced out wide and from side-to-side, which just played into their hands.

 

Dessers was quite deep, too.  

 

[Rousseau 11,387]

Our shotmap. We didn't create a lot compared to other games this season, but they were of good quality. 

 

At least two of those big chances in the box are from Dessers.

If we are going to be playing a more transitional game, Bajrami would be better suited than Hagi. 

 

Just saying...

Would be good to see Bajrami get a run of games in his natural position.

Much improvement still required but a win's a win. Good news is that may have been the last time we need to play on that pitch especially if Killie finish bottom 6.

 

Also interesting to note Don Robertson was happy to give both players yellow cards for any handbags. Twice.

 

It's just Calum McGregor that doesn't get booked for that it seems.
