Combe hoping for a Killie revival

Last updated : 09 November 2007 By TeamTalk
Killie had 12 players on the sidelines last month, but Jim Jefferies' squad is almost at full strength now, with only Grant Murray still ruled out for the long term.
Despite the horrendous injury list, Killie are placed in seventh, and Combe believes now they have key players back they can start to move up the SPL table with a bit of luck.

Killie face Dundee United at Tannadice and Combe knows it will be a tough game as they try to end Craig Levein's team's unbeaten home run.
Combe said: "Our injuries have been horrendous but we have been getting back to full strength.
"It should be a good game because they are flying at the moment and we are not too far away from what we were last season.
"We have got the majority of all our injuries back and we are near enough to our strongest XI. It should be a good entertaining game.

"We are looking to do well as well because we are not too far away - it is a big game.
"They are unbeaten at home but it is just another game to us and we will go up there and give it everything we have got.
"They have been fantastic and they have had a great start to the season.
"They work very hard for each other and they look as if they have got a good spirit about them.

"They are on the crest of a wave at the moment and you can't take anything away from them.
"Dundee United and Kilmarnock should be looking for a top-six place all the time and pushing on for a wee bit extra."
Combe was at Dundee United for five seasons and always enjoys returning to his old club.

He said: "I like the stadium and the fans are good. They were brilliant to me when I was going through a sticky patch up there.
"They were always telling me to get my head back up and to be honest they were different class. They always give me a good reception. I look forward to going back."
