It’s clear that Steve Clarke’s team had a mentality and stability that made them trustworthy and dependable. Here’s a wee thread to show just how far we’ve fallen in that department across the entire team this season. 1/

Ross County 2 Killie 2
Broadfoot hands a lifeline to County with 10 to go despite Killie outplaying their opponents for much of the game. Not huge but a sign of our weak mentality.

Killie 1 St Johnstone 2
The first of some daft red cards this season as Millen tries to make up for a bad touch and is sent off. Findlay compounds our woes with a shocking back pass allowing O’Halloran to sneak a winner.

COVID outbreak.
Call it unlucky or unfair but an outbreak that causes the NHS to isolate 20 players can’t be faultless. We forfeit the league cup and incur fines.

Killie 0 Hibs 1
Dikamona misjudges a bounce and then brings down Doidge. A lack of judgement followed by indiscipline as he gives the penalty away. Nisbet scores the only goal of the game from the spot.

Hamilton 1 Killie 0
Dikamona again gifts three points to Hamilton with an utterly senseless red. Hamilton’s winner also a penalty after another handball.

Killie 0 Aberdeen 2
The game is over, Cosgrove is through on goal. Haunstrup decides another red would help us out, especially since our defence is already depleted. Cosgrove scores the free kick anyway.

Killie 1 Livingston 2
On its own a late goal isn’t that bad, especially as Livi are indestructible but this is symptomatic of our season as Robinson nets late on lobbing the hapless Rogers.

Killie 1 St Mirren 1
Holding on quite easily until Rogers opts to catch a high ball and carry it over the line. Steve Clarke’s team did the easy things well. This one finds new ways of chucking it.

Livi 2 Killie 0
Despite offering heehaw all game we look to be boring everyone into a point a piece. Two goals in injury time. Mentality giants.

Killie 2 St Johnstone 3
We’ve been terrible but somehow find ourselves 2 up at halftime. Call it tactical naivety, mental fragility or ineptitude but Dyer pays the price for another shambolic collapse.

Even today Haunstrup was lucky not to be off and Tshibola applauded the ref after being cautioned against Celtic. The professionalism of the players has to be questioned this season. A new manager has to change this and quickly.
