Central midfielder who actually wants the ball priority #1 for me.

Sevelj between last season and this season is night and day. He’s been awful for months.

 
Yep, been very poor this season. We need someone in to do what Pappoe was supposed to, we’re too light in terms of competition in the middle of the park.

Our midfield is the biggest problem in the team imho. Whenever Bert had the ball today, neither of them were showing for the ball. Pappoe's replacement is just as big a problem as the goalkeeper come January.
 

Rumour on Twitter that Ross Graham has broke down again in training. Really, really hope it's not true for the laddie's sake. Horrendous.

1-1. Bert

Hope the ball bursts and it pisses down with rain. Cunts.

Not our first defeat this season, but the first time we have been comprehensively outplayed.

An absolutely appalling display. One shot on target all night and Motherwell passed us off the park all night and looked fitter, stronger and faster.

Goodwin has to take his fair share of the blame for that tonight. The wrong starting XI selected tonight and the wrong formation.

Yet another game where we worryingly don't turn up at all in the first 45 minutes. This is starting to become unacceptable. You can't just expect to turn up for one half of football and expect to get anywhere as a club.

My player ratings on a bitterly disappointing night -

Kucherencko 6 - Didn't do anything particularly wrong tonight. Couldn't do anything about either goal. Some poor distribution however.

Ferry 5 - Garbage tbqh. A great block on the line to spare a Motherwell goal but was all over the place at other points. Beaten easily on the wing for their 1st and his corners, free kicks and even throw in's were very poor all night long. He is playing nowhere near his ability at the moment.

Esselink 6 - Poor night from Bert.

Keresztes - 6 - His poorest game in a United shirt. Very slack pressing down for their 2nd goal. He is a big strong boy, he has to be braver there.

Stephenson 6 - Thought he was quite poor tonight. Should have absolutely buried our only good chance of the night. Was outmuscled a few times in 50/50's. Possibly his worst game for us.

Sevelj 6 - His poor form this season continues. Sat far too deep for my liking (i know he would have been asked to do this btw). Nowhere near as effective for the team as he was last season when he was a Warrior most weeks.

Sibbald 6 - Stupidly sacrificed at half time as he was sitting on a yellow card. Given his recent form this was far too reactionary and should have been kept on for awhile longer as he has grown into the last two games massively in the 2nd half and been influential. Unless of course he got an injury.
