We have been pretty poor today. We've allowed ourselves to be bullied by a big physical side who were clearly up for a 'fight'. We were nervous and tentative in almost everything we attempted, I suspect were gonna have to get used to this approach from other teams. Their hatred - and that's what it is - gives them the energy and determination to perform way above themselves when they play us, whilst they fold against other teams.

Learned nothing from the game against the sheep. Second half our back four and keeper constantly humping the ball pointlessly forward for Motherwell to mop it up and come forward.  That's poorest 45 under Gerrard. When we play football we will be teams like Motherwell but today we played right into their hands and played in a style that suited them.

So disappointing but nor surprised, for all the positives so far this season our tendency to drop back to our own 6 yard box and try to hold on to single goal leads is a concern. Particularly when the defence were looking as shaky as they did today. 

A huge opportunity missed to put down a marker for the taigs game next week. Tactical naivety from Gerrard in the second half today, he'll learn from it I'm sure but every member of the squad and management team will need to be at the top of their games to come away from the piggery with a positive result.

Hopefully a lesson to Gerrard that you don’t play Walter Smith tactics against low level SPL shite.

Had them right where we wanted them then we took our foot off the gas, shameful second half performance 

If those were our tactics I can’t fathom how the 2 front men were kept on, they barely seen the ball in the 2nd half

Lack of squad depth will any chance we have of winning this league, Ejaria was knackered by 50 minutes and we had no one to replace him. 

Getting into the EL group stages could be a mixed blessing due to the lack of depth. Don't think we can really cope with the possibility of injuries with the current squad.

fucking gutted. Unfortunately these are the bread and butter games we need to win to challenge for the title. that's 4pts dropped in just 3 fucking league games.

Still feel very positive about Gerrard but only way to maintain the belief now for the league this season is if we can get at least a draw at piggery imo
