On the other hand, I recall in 2014/15 lots of threads on here saying Hearts will fall away and they never did. Yes, that was the championship but I think we overlook Killie at our peril.
After Saturday that could read
Killie 78
Tims 75
They have sustained good form over a calendar year. We'll be under estimating them too because we smashed then in our games with them.
If they want to be up there challenging they have to go to the piggery and show they are capable of the challenge.
I agree.Without a doubt as they a top of the league. They might fall away they might not but defo need to take them seriously.
This december is huge and right now they have played 2 and won 2 while we and the tims have dropped points already.
Second, most games played, top goals scored, best goal difference, pumped first 3-1(OG) this season , game in hand to go first. beaten 1-0 at worst in the league.We're quite good at belittling other teams when we've shown nothing ourselves to suggest we'll challenge. Their record since Clarke took over is unbelievable and of course they should be taken seriously.
I don't think they will.The mentally challengeds will probably hammer them at the weekend
Playing everyone home and away, versus playing them twice home and away is a different animal. If you look at Leicester that year, by mid-January, they had played most of their tough games. The better teams needed to come to them and their away games were against lower level opposition. A great accomplishment, but it was almost like they snuck through Christmas and had the easiest fixture list remaining.They've done very well but I can't see them being a serious contender. Then again, I doubt anyone took Leicester very seriously either.
I like how some people just assume they will get hammered on Saturday. Rogers has NEVER beaten Clarke. That’s not to say he won’t on Saturday but to simply dismiss them out of hand is ridiculous

Killie, eh, shite, scraping the barrel and 1-0s and top because theyve played more league games than those around them and by the skin of their teeth with half the goal difference.
So if we have shown nothing, they've shown the square root of bugger all, multiplied by fuck all squared.
Last 38 league games played
Tims 78
Killie 75
No way, their players arent highly paid enough to win the league. How are 3 grand a week players supposed to win a league with teams who have much higher paid players. Dream on Killie.
On Sunday we went top and despite games in hand you'd have thought we'd have won it.
Kilmarnock are currently top and as we have known over the years points on the board are much much much better than games in hand.
Looking at their form since Clarke took over they are certainly not a diddy mob. (think they are only 3 points behind Celtic in a time scale table? Read that somewhere or something to that effect) They have a young squad with a good amount of experience in there too (more championships than us?)
They play Celtic away this weekend and coming away with a point or 3 would really show they are in this race. Never really considered them as contenders yet this season as they have seemed to have just plodded along and I assumed their purple patch from the end of last year was over.
Key difference is six weeks have passed, as you acknowledge, so hardly the same thing.Same question was asked of hearts 6 weeks ago. There is only one team that we have to consider, and it isn’t Killie.
As long as the Killie players believe on Saturday and come away with a result.
Don't think they've won at Beast FC in over 60 years.
My point being they will fall apart, but you knew that anyway.Key difference is six weeks have passed, as you acknowledge, so hardly the same thing.
