‘Little creativity’ but Killie ‘battled to the end’

Must read

[BBC]

Killie fans, we asked for your views after Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Hibs.

Here’s what some of you had to say:

Thomas: On this showing Killie will struggle to make seventh place. We showed little creative penetration and our squad is not likely to change. Our limitations were exposed by a poor Hibs team. I hope for better but it is hard to see where points will come from in the coming games.

Robert: Again a lot more effort than quality but they did battle to the end and probably deserved the point. The lack of composure on the ball is still a concern. An excellent performance from Bruce Anderson.

David: Overall a draw was the right result. Poor misses from Kyle Vassell coupled with a lack of depth in midfield where we’ve been crying out for a playmaker/number 10 for several seasons (Liam Polworth isn’t the answer). A lack of ambition by the club to support the manager in attracting a playmaker will come back to haunt us.

Adam: Yet another bad day at the office! I am sorry to keep going on but Rugby Park isn’t going to be a fortress this year unless we change our system and quick. They did show a wee bit of composure today but not enough. Come on Killie a bit of battle or is it bottle?

Stephen: Awful! Scraped a draw at home to a poor Hibs team. I wonder why Derek McInnes bothers to select midfielders because we just bypass the middle of the park. We have Scotland’s young player of the year and he must have a sore neck watching the ball punted long every week. Our summer recruitment has been complacent. Rival teams strengthened, we stood still.

Anon: Most current issues stem from the weakness in midfield, which really hasn’t been addressed this summer. I feel for the defenders who are seeing more of the ball as a consequence, they are more uncomfortable going long with no options in front. Forwards are left looking for fouls or hoping something falls. Good time for a deserved rest and re-group.
