| Not sure where that leaves us. When can win on Saturday, not been beat in any of our matches and still end up 3rd, is that right? |

Win on Saturday and we will have 9 points, Pars have 8 and have finished their matches. If killie win they will have 10. Killie away to Albion Rovers. Possible best placed second team depending on other results |

Three best second placed teams go through. It's shaping up that second in groups C (Hamilton or Livi) and D (likely Morton) will grab two of these. A solid win at Annan on Saturday should see us move into third best 2nd place, as long as St Johnstone don't lose in 90mins at home to Stirling.
So we qualify? Not quite. The following day, Dundee play Inverness, and will know by then exactly what's needed of them. And if Saturday pans out as above, then what they'll need, simply put, is to do better than we do against Annan. In other words, the unfair advantage of knowing what their target score is....hmmmmm! |

Yes, the way I see.
Group A, St Johnstone do us a favour
Group B 2nd place team will not qualify
Group C not a good group for us
Group D could do with morton and kelty playing out a draw
Group E Inverness do us a favour against Dundee
Group F we need a good win
Group G Motherwell to do favour against east fife
Group H forfar to win or st mirren to thrash them.
Likely to be a few twists and turns. |

Thoroughly enjoyed the match.
I thought the team played well and it would be a bit churlish to single out individuals.
This was truly a team performance and if last nights standard becomes the norm, then me thinks most will be very happy.
Only downsides were mince pies that tasted like somebody miss read the menu and put in two bucketloads of pepper in the mix.
And the seats, defo built for primary school kids .  
Pass marks all round from us for the standard of football.

| Great result and inspiring performance. Almost be a travesty if we do crash out on Saturday (or Sunday) but at least the team has battled! |

Always was of the opinion that the so called famous Killie pies were mince!๐ซฃ
Over hyped and over priced.
Not any better than a decent shell pie from any local baker.
Delighted to hear that our standard of football was definitely not mince and that you thoroughly enjoyed the game.๐
ETA Just finished watching the highlights and we played some fine football, especially in the second half, but poor defending yet again from a cross for Killie's second goal.

| Great highlights package once again and I do like that away strip, didn't seem to be anything wrong with Dicks 1st goal, was VAR in play for that's game as definitely looked a foul for their equaliser too |

| A great victory and thatโs without Brown, Ross, Matthews, Connolly, Millen plus Murray and Hamilton on the bench. This squad is coming along very nicely |

Perpetually procrastinating puts people perplexed - purple patch on the pitch pleases punters
