Glaring weaknesses could be a sign of history repeating

[BBC]

Prior to the game on Saturday I attended the Killie Trust event and had the privilege of interviewing Willie Watters, a true hero to myself and countless other Killie fans.

Willie recalled some great memories of his time at the Theatre of Pies and it reminded me of how those were my favourite times as a Killie fan.

My thoughts before the Dundee game were we needed to win if we want to avoid the play-off place.

Unfortunately we managed only one point rather than all three so it is going to be extremely difficult for us to climb higher than 11th.

We are only two points behind St Mirren but it's our poor away form that kills any optimism I may have.

Saturday was a microcosm of our season as a whole. We had chances to put the game to bed but poor goalkeeping and weak defending contributed to us missing out on an invaluable win.

When we got relegated it was down to those two glaring weaknesses in the team and I pray history is not repeating itself.

There is time for us to recover but it will require instant improvement on our travels. We head to Aberdeen a week on Saturday while St Mirren host Livingston so we need to get something at a ground where we have a poor record.
