Our full backs aren't good enough and are putting our keeper under pressure

[Junior Soprano 22,428]

I think this is our weak point apart from not scoring enough.

this is gonna cost us this season.

[.Williamson. 82,207]

Have said for awhile now that Wallace won't cut it for us at a playing level nevermind a captaining role 

[Blue Avenger 22,567]

Our keeper's limited all round ability is putting him under pressure and of the two full backs, Tav is the worst of the two. Only adding to the pressure to an already limited keeper. Wes cannot deal with cross balls, amongst other things.

I also thought Wallace had a decent game.

Hodson was wank. 

The only ones deserving criticism today are Hodson, Herrera, Miller and a lesser extent Jack. But nothing will be said about the goldenboy nearly costing a goal and shitting out a challenge 45 seconds prior to the world class save from Fod.

Was caught sleeping at their goal with Windass.

[K.A.I 36,183]

Totally agree 

but let's try and sign Jamie Walker instead ...

[Guest Lloyd72]

Not sure if this is hyperbole or if our fullbacks genuinely let 25 crosses into the box but that's a problem

Well said BA, just don't see the need to keep Foderingham at all - he has improved since first signing, and a decent shot stopper. Wes' limited ability with the ball at feet and dealing with crosses is really poor, he is not what we require moving on. Sadly, he is prone to some monumental howlers as well. There are plenty of decent keepers out there, particularly on the loan market once the EPL sides announce squads. We really should be pushing for a replacement now.

Wallace was Murder the ball came in from his side constantly as he or Windass failed to track back.

Windass?

[Jamesy1872 420]

Our keeper puts our keeper under pressure not coming for crosses 

Although I would say at the end he made up for it 

[sassaaaa 11,406]

We need to stop the amount of crosses that are allowed in our box , its ridiculous at times .

Many of Motherwell's attacks came from our right hand side. In-fact Wallace made a fantastic last ditch tackle to stop a tap in during the second half which came from the right hand side. 

Jack?

Jack had a poor game been good in the Friendlies but quiet today.

[there'sonlyoneamoruso 1,724]

OK, wasn't sure who you meant.

I'll be honest, in the 3 competitive games we have had this season, Jack hasn't really impressed me 

[djwyc14 116]

We let far too many crosses into pur box without a challemge. Not good when Fod is unconvincing on high balls. For their goal he should have commanded his area, come out and wiped everything out, not stayed flat footed rooted on his line.

Made up for that error with the late save today.

[there'sonlyoneamoruso 1,724]

Hodson was rank today. Tav was a much better option when he came on. Wallace I find to be a 6/10 most games these days.

We could do with two new full backs, but that will be a big ask IMO.

Id say that number is entirely possible. I lost count of the amount of balls that came into our box today.

 Limited ability with the ball at his feet? 

[Creampuff 22,628]

I'm a huge fan of moaning about Fod not coming for crosses, and he should have come for the goal, but he showed much more intent to come and punch today; which was nice to see.

The amount of throw ins he's conceeded from kicking is horrendous

[TheGovanIniesta 1,000]

Been saying this for a while, doesn't matter if yer Manuel Neuer if yer playing infront a Kiernan, Senderos, Wilson, and a horribly out of form Tav and Wallace yeed absolutely shite yerself anytime the ball comes near your end a the pitch.

Constantly left in the shits by his defence and then is expected to turn into David De Gea.

if he works on his decision making and dealing with balls into the box he will develop into a top class keeper, has already shown despite being young he's more than capable of playing for us.

 

needs time to gel with alves and Cardoso.

[Young Bob 1,360]

Need better quality at RB and LB. Knew that before kick-off today.

I know this is a meme on other threads at the moment, but there is an element of truth to it. Recall the game against Hearts at Tynecastle in January?? What a shocker he had with the ball at his feet, cost us the match. He really does look shaky in many occasions when the ball is played back, hopefully with a better defence in front of him he can distribute with ball to feet rather than mainly blooter it with his fingers crossed.

[Cedrick 8,048]

Waldo fitter and stronger in division 3/2 and championship, very avarage player in SPL 

[BRITNEY IS NOT FEELING IT 8,293]

Agree with the OP , tbh even Big Bruno was giving the ball straight back to the opposition (still in our half ) when clearing it , no a fan of that ffs , saying that the big man was really good apart from that I thought ,

I completely disagree when it comes to his ability with the ball at his feet. I remember that Tynecastle pitch being horrendous  though but I can see where you're coming from in that game. The throw ins often come from when he clips it out and the full back goes up to challenge with the winger. If the full back is in space very rarely does he miss the target. We won't get a better goalkeeper when it comes to clipping the ball out to the full back or into midfield. I imagine the manager tells his to hit out wide and there is a small margin for error when you're doing that. While I don't think we could get a better keeper technically, I agree there were times he would look a bit shaky under Warburton but only because it looked like he was.being instructed to pass it out at all costs. From what I've seen under Pedro, he is kicking it longer now from goal kicks and occasionally out his hands.
