Totally got away with one, so lucky to get away with all 3 points. Started well, got some joy down the right resulting in 2 good chances for a rusty Eddie, each time Sinclair was free to his left inside 6 yard box. A few long range tame efforts before Killi got a foot hold on the game, threatened from set pieces. They were getting joy down both wings. Went in scoreless at HT. Killi started second half positively, we were lacking dynamics, so flat, We were crying out for a change. Burke replaced Eddy, then Killi center half is red carded. Forrest then replaced by TW, Christie just wide with a header, Hayes, who had a decent game, sent in several wayward crosses. Then a debut for Bayo, who wins a corner, great header by Boyato and who pops up only Brown, to score & gets himself sent off. We held on at the end but, with the aid of a deflection, just got over the line.

Bit of a reality check, showed exactly how far we are behind, think they brought on a sub who cost 40M. To me this was bonus territory, so lets just get back on track domestically. That said, was a totally disappointing performance, hard to pick a decent performer, SS and JF did try hard. Izzy was shocking, surely Hayes or Ajer would have been worth a run when it was obvious his game as done in second half. Browns half hearted tackle in the lead up to the second goal is worrying, bread and butter to the SB of past days. Just that negative passing between the backs, no one capable of a killer ball over the top. Sure, KT, Benko and Tam would have made a difference. Will be a big ask to have the boys up for the Killie game in a few days, so may need to freshen it up, would expect Eddie to start.
