For as poor as he was today he still saved our arses a few times as well. 

Definitely. He covered Richardsons arse far too many times for comfort. All around shambles at the back.

Motherwell targeted Richardson right from the start.  Doubled up on that side all game.  Was even worse once Morris came on as he had absolutely zero interest in helping his full back out.

The winger was moving inside and he was following him all day, fullback hugged the touchline and the midfielder made the wide run. Happened about 4 times in the first half.

Thank you. 
 

Some folk watch the game but they don't see the game.

Good at clearing danger with his head.

Very erratic with the ball at his feet though. Thinks he’s a better footballer than he actually is. 
Gives the ball away far too often & far too simply

Yeah I think it was CCB who was saying earlier how easy it was for Motherwell. Very exposed today.

Aye Consi has a big enough hole in his balaclava to see what's going on there.

I think the issue is that Scales, being a loanee was willing to be Robin to Stewart's Batman, if you will.

McCrorie want's to be (and possibly should've been), captain this season - I don't think he's listening to Stewart and today it showed.

It's a case of too many cooks and Goodwin underestimating the difficulty/importance of having a well rehearsed defensive partnership. 

Stewart to block, Scales to pass.  

 

McCrorie blew his chance of being captain when he fucked off to watch the Huns

Nobody with eyes and a brain.

He was very poor today. I had been enjoying his clear enjoyment of defending in previous games, but I didn't enjoy anything about this afternoons effort

Two non league duds. No major surprise that they’re both hopeless

Absolutely hopeless at passing. Works okay alongside Scales, as Scales can pass pretty well. Doesn't work so well with McCrorie as neither of them are great passers. He is a good defender though. I think the fact he has Richardson to one side of him is probably not ideal, as he has no positional sense and is just about as bad at passing. He should really just be playing the ball a few yards to Ramadani or Clarkson every time he gets it - and it's up to them to find space to receive the pass.

I tend to agree on most of this. His RB is often out of position, meaning he gets pulled over, and his fellow CB is not a CB. I think with a consistent defensive partner and a RB with better positional sense he would look better. None of this justifies his woeful passing though. 

As you say, win it and play the easy pass, that should be within the gift of any pro footballer at any level. If he can't find a man he can make a pass to then maybe try the odd hopeful long ball, we have the pace to chase them down

[Tord31]

Seems like common sense for a midfielder to come short and get the ball off him? Why is he being asked to play passes

Aye. Ramadani and Clarkson could surely have helped in that respect.

As you would if you were aware at how honking the captain's passing is?

[Dom Sullivan]

Stewart and Ramadandy were both utterly honking yesterday.

It’s not that. I just knew he’d be harder to replace than what most folk anticipated. So far it is looking the case. 
 

him and a crippled guy who couldn’t wait to retire were better than anything since

Didn’t see him pointing or shouting much during the game.

As captain he should be marshalling the defence and barking out orders.

Hopefully he will grow into it.

Still no evidence of him trying to organise a defence.
