To be honest - I dont feckin know. It just felt really bad today and I would love to be challenged on that. I will not mention names but I suspect that CC is favouring some when others feel that they are not worthy. We have changed our defensive style to accomodate Caff and I dont think ANY of the other defenders are too happy about it. Niculae is arrogant but if he gets fit and plays fer the team that could be a real PLUS. But then again WHY did CC not hook him early into the 2nd half when he was clearly fecked. Denzil looked totally pissed and maybe a few others did as well. As fer Deano - he may have come on late but he did NOT look interested. IMO we had the right team on the field today and the first half probably reflected that but we badly missed a leader at the back, in the second half I have never seen us so disorganised, I thouhts Dods would be our biggest loss this season and today you could see that. When things were falling apart we needed someone to keep their head on the pitch and lead the way but it seemed everyone was looking for an excuse or someone to blame. If we had some discipline that should have been an easy 3 points today, make no mistake about it Motherwell were pesh and there for the taking, we just missed the solidarity that has served us well for the last 12+ years. Was really disappointed today, not just because of the result or the last minute penalty but by how easy it was for us to give up. Unless we find the fight we have had for seasons previous we are going to have a loooonnnggg season!!

Have to say apart from his shuffle into the box I wasn't overly impressed with him today

Fraser Tokely McCaffrey New signing Munro Hastings Duncan Cowie Hart Mcbain Bayne Goalscorer Niculae

Cowie, Niculae, Rossco and maybe McBain were the best players on the park today... if only Cowie hadn't have tried to chip that one on one we would have been celebrating a win IMO

What a mess Granty throwing away the captains arm band? Granty having almost a set to with Duncan? Why did Granty enter the field by himself miles before anyone else had for the start of the second half? What was said at half time that made us play so poorly? Why does Caff look scared every time he goes for a header? Tokely telling our fans to be quiet after he scored and cupping his hands round his ears when we were chanting his name? Why play 2 forwards upfront that look more comfortable outside the box? When did Black turn into a poor Barry back pass Ferguson? Am I reading too much into this? all in all a very disappointing game/performance we looked excellent in the first half and we looked sooo disjointed in the second half. We need a leader/centre half at the back and if Granty ain't up to the job then we need to get someone in that will!!

So you were on his back from the start... you should be proud to be one of the first! Bayne is just back from injury and Niculae hasn't seen first team football in almost a year, so we are kind of short of options. I agree though McAllister had a rotten game last week but so did half the team CC didn't name McAllister as one of the players he had stayed loyal to.. or one of the players he want's to change. Have you ever seen Rory not give his all or go in half hearted for a challenge? He seems to be trying harder each game, probably due to the criticism he receives here. It is all very good criticising a player but it's almost a hate campaign. Leaving a game because he starts a match??

:029:

it was Pete not me :023:

If you're turning up to games with that sort of attitude then I stick by my original statement... it's not just criticism, you are jumping on the bandwagon by getting on this lad's back. If you would prefer to walkout rather than get behind the team then do so.. just seems like a very wanky attitude! If you are so offended by that one comment then think how McAllister must feel when he sees all the cr@p that you and your merry men have been writing on a daily basis.

erm... w**ker!

I'll be there + whoever else I can bring along

I'd play him at centre half... it would be alot easier to find a right back

Tokely doesn't do it every match and Black (hopefully not anymore) looked for a yellow card by making at least one awful challenge every match. It wasn't one incident that got the fans backs up about Black but a run of them... speaking of Black... ouch

Sky Link "It's been a real adventure here and it's one I'll never forget, but I need a fresh challenge. "This is no reflection on all the help and support I've had here because I'm leaving some really good friends. "I'd also like to say a special thank you to all the supporters who have shouted for me these last six years and who voted me as the player of the year last season. "That was a special moment that will always live with me. "I think the team will do well under Chris Huthchings and I'm sure the supporters will get the success they deserve." The only reason he is leaving is because he is a life long Everton fan, I'm glad to see some players do give a cr@p about the fans.

remember the last international we got from County :023:

Daily Ger Nothing mentioned about Boyd's challenge surprise surprise :023: Tokely should have gone to be fair but I think at that point a few of the players lost all discipline not just him... he's just the biggest

I thought we definitely missed Duncan covering the back 4, Rory and Wyness were both terrible, Rankin and McBain went missing and Black's head went down as soon as they scored. We didn't have the fight we had last season and I hate to say it that comes down to Munro, if he is going to lead the team onto the field he needs to be the one screaming at them when they are on it, and from where I was sitting (in a bar on byers road) he seemed to let the game pass him by. I think CC was spot on with his interview after the match but as said elsewhere it is all good and well saying that after, he needs to give up on any loyalty he has with certain players and start making the difficult decisions. I wouldn't overhaul the team but if we don't get a centre half in quickly we could be in relegation mixer for the majority of the season. If we don't include Hart in our starting line up next week then I would have to question CC's thinking. Next weekend is a big match for us, we need all 3 IMO

Fraser Tokely Caff Munro Hastings Duncan Wilson Hart Rankin Bayne Wyness Subs.. Niculae, McDonald and Zander if needed

I think CC thinks of Morgan as cover for left back rather than a midfielder

I had a listen he was disappointed at the lack of effort from the players for the first game of the season, was raging, it was hard to disagree with anything he said.

Best example I can use is Bayne, his contribution to the team has only been recognised and appreciated over the last 2 seasons... being a targetman is a thankless task and Rory has years to give the club if he can just get his game in order with some regular first team football. I think everyone has seen flashes of what he can do but he needs to get the oppertunity to perform on a regular basis

He's got the potential but needs to start producing.... he looked out his depth today but to be fair Wyness didn't do much better. I think a season loan at our neighbours across the bridge could be beneficial but we need to start encouraging younger players not slating them.

Centre half and a pacey winger

considering how good our record is against Rangers I wouldn't be changing anything
