Struggling Killie 'creating lot of chances', says Brown

Defender James Brown insists Kilmarnock are creating a "lot of chances" and are full of belief of a much-needed victory at home to Dundee United on Saturday.

Killlie are second bottom of the Premiership having suffered five consecutive defeats.

"We know how we can play like second half Falkirk, like second half the other day [against Motherwell], we were miles on top," said Brown.

"So we know that we're confident and we can get a result, easy enough.

"You just look throughout the squad the players that are in it, bags of experience and lads who that have been in this the league for years.

"You see it everyday in training and I you can see it in games. We're creating a lot of chances but just can't get the ball in the back of the net.

"So, yeah, there's a massive confidence there that we can get something and it shows in our performances recently when we're on top of games. There's a huge belief that we can get a result this Saturday."

Despite Killie's current struggles they have won both previous meetings with United this season, triumphing 2-1 in the League Cup in August before a 2-0 league victory at Tannadice the following month.

"We've got one over them and obviously the lads beat them in the cup as well before I came," added Brown.

"So there will be a bit of confidence there from those two games but you have to put them behind you and it could be a completely different game on Saturday.

"We know we can get a result against most teams in this league, we just have to get the head down and try and do the simple things."
