McInnes on contrasting form, unpredictable league & sickness bug
- Published
Kilmarnock manager Derek McInnes has been speaking to the media before his side's Premiership game with Motherwell this weekend.
Here are the key points from his press conference:
McInnes was “trying to show faith” in players by making no changes for the midweek loss at St Johnstone after an impressive win over Aberdeen in the previous outing.
While pleased with Killie's home record, he needs to “take a look” at their away form and tactics.
He hopes struggling Motherwell wait until next week to find their “best form” as he says “this league is so unpredictable”.
McInnes wants his players to focus on their own performance and says “we've got a points tally we set ourselves and we've got work to do to meet the tally” as they’ve collected six points out of nine since the international break.
Settling into a “brilliant dressing room” at Rugby Park has helped Kyle Vassell flourish.
McInnes praised David Watson’s progression and improvement and says “he always gives everything, he plays on the front foot and he is fully committed with everything he does”.
There’s a bug going around the camp which “two or three of the boys have fallen victim to” so they will “see how things are in 24 hours”.
