"It's good as we can have a chat and he can point out things I've done well or what I could have done better, rather than have one of the young keepers come in and slag me off on a Monday morning after seeing me on TV.
"Billy's been in for a week and a half now and it's been good.
"We've got five keepers at the club and when I look back my own training did diminish a little because I was looking after the rest of the boys.
"It certainly wasn't through any fault of my own, I was trying as much as I could but I had too much to do with the coaching.
"I think the gaffer realised I wasn't doing as much work on my own game as I should have been doing because the coaching.
"So they've brought in Billy for a couple of days a week and it's taken a bit of the work load off myself.
"It's good to get different input from a coach I'd never really worked with before.
"But it's been refreshing working with him and now I can just go in and do my work and not care about anyone else.
"When you are doing a training exercise I can now be selfish, look after myself and be focused. That can only benefit me."
Combe and the rest of his team-mates we re outstanding as they kept Celtic at bay on the opening weekend of the season and admits they'll need to produce a similar performance if they are to take anything off the SPL champions this Saturday.
He said: "We'll definitely need the same kind of performance we produced against them on the opening weekend. You don't get bigger games than Rangers or Celtic but we'll just go out and give it everything we've got.
"When we got a draw at Parkhead everyone on the park did their job and that's what's needed whenever you play the Old Firm, you need to be on the top of your game.
"Celtic will be full of confidence but they know they always get a tough game at Rugby Park."
Despite their horrendous injury list Killie are in fifth place but Combe believes it is harder to break into the top six this season due to the renewed challenge from Dundee United and Motherwell.
He said: " It's well documented we've struggled with injuries but to be where we are in the league at this moment is a great achievement considering the injuries we've had.
"It's given us a chance to be in the top six again but we need to go out and prove we're good enough to be there.
"With Dundee United and Motherwell having started the season well it's tougher to get in the top six. We've made it the past two seasons so I think some teams see us as a bit of a scalp, we've got to rise to these expectations.
"We've got the players who can do it and we're getting injured players back.
"On Saturday there was a difference with Danny Invincibile and Garry Hay back in the team.
"Boys have been playing out of position and we've done well enough still to be in the top six but these guys being back makes a big difference."
