From what i've seen of klimarnock the season (albeit only highlights) they look to be quite decent, the Finish player looks a cut above the usual at rugby park, and we always find it tough there so i'm going for a close 2-1 victory for the bhoys not even a penny on it or v cash either !

it was close but well deserved its always goin to be tough there until we finally get a good run and confidence running through the team that will come am glad juarez came on shouldnt have played paddy from the start killie were always goin to come at us from the start and we needed to have a solid midfield to weather that couldve put mccourt on near the end but we're still winning we're getting there slowly but surely
HAIL HAIL LONG LIVE THE REVOLUTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good result to get all three points from this match. Killie has put in some good performances this season so I thought that this would be a tight match. I just can't be bothered with the goal differential this early in the season.
I think that Lennon is still trying to figure out his best XI so I'm OK with the various lineups.
Having said that I think that Stokes must start and play every match. He works hard, defends from the front and as we saw today scored a nice goal.
Paddy, when fit, is to my way of thinking, best used as a sub.

All over them, need to start finishing teams off rather than have the fans biting their nails to the quick in the last 5 minutes...............another 3 points in the bag.

Paddy, when fit, is to my way of thinking, best used as a sub. I agree with all of of this. We shouldn't have played McCourt from the start and it put us on the back foot right away. First real blunder by Lennon this season in the SPL, but we recovered well to take all three points. However lessons must be learned. Stokes and Murphy should be on the from the start, and keep our midfield strong and robust. I also wouldn't mind seeing Efrain Juarez replacing Cha at right back.

Forster - Wasn't overly troubled (besides the goal), had no problems with crosses and did his job when he needed to.
Cha - Put some good balls into the box and supported the attack well. Made one excellect challenge to bail dozy Loovens out. Otherwise he wasn't trouble too much defensively. Was unlucky when he hit the bar.
Loovens - Pish. Goes to sleep too often at crucial moments. Needs to be gone ASAP.
Majstorovic - Rock solid. If it wasn't for him we might well have not got 3 points today. Did well when he took the armband off of Brown as well. However was very frustrating when he was resorting to playing keepball and passing it along the backline. Overcooked some of his passes on a bumpy surface.
Izzy - Brilliant again. Defended well and supplied good crosses for the strikers. Shame we couldn't capitalise on every good ball he put in. We would have won about 5-1.
Ledley - Still waiting to see what all the hype is about, really. Did an ok job but nothing ground breaking. Being all left footed is a bit of a problem with Joe, IMO.
Kayal - Love this guy. Maybe got a bit too involved at times with back chat to the referee and some of his challenges were a bit cynical however a good shift. Did what good defensive midfielders do, get in about the opposition.
Brown - Wasn't really doing anything up until the injury. Blessing in disguise that he went off, IMO.
McCourt - Couldn't really get started in the game. Maybe we were depending on him a bit too much as it seemed we kept passing to him. Killie double up on him and he wasn't having the best of days. Him getting injured benefited us in the end.
Maloney - A bit 50/50 today. Did very well in places then other times it was a slack pass or he'd weave his way into the box and go nowhere with it. Corner deliveries were woeful.
Murphy - Scored another cooly taken penalty and won a lot of high balls however his knockdowns left a lot to be desired. Can't really fault him as he contributed to the win. At this stage, still don't know what we're going to get out of him over the coming season.
Subs:
Ki - Nothing of note. Came on for Kayal before Kayal maybe got sent off seeing as he was throwing himself about a bit.
Juarez - Lively, in about them, looking to get forward and create. A lot more than what Brown contributed anyway.
Stokes - A striker who poaches a goal!? Ain't seen one of those at Celtic in a long time. Should have scored more than one though but his work rate today was good. Got in about Killie and chased a lot of balls. Bit of a high stud, wreckless challenge on Jamie Hammill at one point, referee could have easily flashed a red card there.

It's gonna be a tight old season, tooth and nail with the huns. I was hoping for an easier cruise... My ticker's been done in during the last few seasons at times.. Another tense season ahead, my adrenaline's pumping for this fight already... All aboard the ride

Happy picking up the three points but as you say mate we have to finish these teams off. When we have such overwhelming possession - 70/30 at one point in the 2nd half - we really should be wrapping it up. Btw I don't know about fingernails but it's definitely not good for those of us with heart conditions!

Im glad to see the back of this one, 3 points for a very lacklustre show after being 1 down tells me we are not a bad side, 70% of the play at one time. if we can play this bad and still be well ahead , then good enough, onwards and upwards.

Kayal, Danny and the full-backs were good today. Ledley was good, Stokes looked good, Juarez looked good.
Not 'all that' on Murphy, Maloney was not good enough today, Forster gives me confidence at last, Loovens shaky as a jakey. Paddy's tender as a Rose.... Pleased with the team today but there is still so much more this team should be doing... You've given me a win though my beloved and for that i'm grateful.... Killie are a decent team, so all in all i'm happy today.
Would liked to have seen Sammy for Murphy later on though

3 points away to the ayrshire huns does for me. To me it was losing to them (in Robbie's debut) last season that finished our league challenge off.
Paddy should never have started. Shaun should have started on the left, Stokes should have been on from the begining. Our team was much better balanced and effective when we were forced into changes. Neil needs to learn from that.

I think Cha is solid...not flashy but solid...he'll be good over the long haul. Izzy is going to be a special player for us. Well done to the Celtic scouts for finding him.

Another good away win at what is sometimes a difficult ground. 3 good away wins in the first 5 games with 100% record. We can continue to progress and go forward with a good result against Inverness in the CIS Cup on Wednesday night.

We can continue to progress and go forward with a good result against Inverness in the CIS Cup on Wednesday night. I'm not terribly fussed about that if I'm honest. Obviously I want to win it, I want to win every game we play in, but the cups, especially this one, are of secondary importance at best.

I think you need to watch this again mate as regards Ledley, the guy is not flash but reads the game superbly. The amount of balls he cuts out by reading the game is immense and he rarely gives it away. He actually makes it look easy and it looks like a bad pass by the opposition but its not, he just reads it so well, he's also always there to take a pass as well. The comments about Joe remind me of the ones about Lenny when he played and people said he was sh*te..
