What’s going wrong for Kilmarnock and Kettlewell?

Kettlewell has not shied away from the fact that his side are conceding poor goals but that cannot all be down to a change in goalkeeper.

Stamatelopoulos’ penalty was the fifth spot-kick Kilmarnock have conceded this term – no other top-flight team has conceded more.

Not only that, but they have also lost five goals to opposition substitutes, a number only St Mirren (six) and Livingston (six) have beaten.

What’s more, Kilmarnock have conceded 12 first-half goals in 13 games, the worst of any team in the division.

“We’re conceding really cheap, silly, naive goals,” Kettlewell said. “It starts to become psychological.

“The bottom line is for whatever reason we’ve been spooked and started conceding goals in a fashion that wasn’t there for long enough.

“We are trying to find ways to galvanise players, to pick them up, so that that mentality is stronger. That seems to be the defining factor at the moment.”
