We need the whole lot of them to make an impact, not just Sone. BTW whens this league reconstruction happening? Isn't it funny this topic raises its head when we're in danger of a relegation dogfight?

Sone needs to be kick started, to kick-start his season. Purely a passenger at the moment. He's missing his Uncle JC but no excuse. Just get on with it and you might get that big money move to Killie at the end of the season.

If Sone has any aspiartions of making it as a player he needs to be able to shine at the pitiful level of the SPL (recovering from injury or otherwise). If you're good enough, step up your game.

he needs to do it now or we need to sell him in the summer. If he doesnt then he's off for nowt at the end of next season.

Brian,In reply to your comment yesterday. I think you need to go and lie in a darkened room as well. I have backed him all the way but now he is starting to rant stupid statements before and after every game. Is The Job Too Big For Him?

I don't know about everybody else, but I am getting a little sick of the what MM keeps coming out with!!! It was the fans getting on the players back, then it was the fans are right the players mince. Players lacking or not the way he has handled everything this season is a joke. Would you want to play for him? He's the joke!

I did have a nicely worded reply for you Colin but for some reason it wont let it through the profanity filter even though there is no reason to block it. Read JC in the killie standard, tell me if you think he's had some media training....

In the P&J Mark says Sony has no chance of starting as he'd chicken out of 50:50 tackles. By the afternoon, the EE is saying Mark wants Aluko to kick start our season. If all this is true, no wonder the players can't perform if they're all confused! Personally, I'd put Aluko on his bike and tell him he gets one game sometime in the future and if he doesn't turn it on, he won't play again. Give me triers anytime.
