The league table doesn't lie so it's time for everyone of a Killie persuasion to knuckle down for another proper relegation battle.
We have seven games to go and the manager is nowhere near knowing his best team, formation or tactics, so it's no surprise we are in big trouble.
Our performance at Paisley was abysmal from the first whistle, with several players looking devoid of confidence probably because of getting moved about and fed ever-changing messages.
Steve Clarke used to stress football is a simple game so put players in their positions and give them straightforward instructions. Derek McInnes seems to relish doing the polar opposite of that.
The biggest worry for me on Saturday was the players didn't appear to be running themselves into the ground for the manager.
We have too many players whose contracts are running out, so how worried are they about where Killie finish?
The best-case scenario is to wish McInnes well for the future and bring in a fresh face for the closing games who may give us that new manager effect.
Motherwell visit the Theatre of Pies on Saturday and we've run out of endless excuses - three points are needed.
