It was painful being at Hampden yesterday, there was no fight, no passion. Simply not good enough.

Alnwick - Had a couple of decent saves (espicially the one at the end of the first half) But MY GOD, he didn't once come and demand his box at a corner. Looked incredibly vulnerable at corners. The second goals was class, but again he's been caught off his line and almost watched it go over his head.

Tav and John - Thought they tried to go forward as much as possible. But, ultimately definsevley poor, and weak. Motherwell's wingers almost bullied them at times. I would play john left mid when wallace gets fit again.

Cardoso and Alves - One word springs to mind. 'BOMBSCARE'. Absolutely dreadful yesterday, I can't actually remember cardoso winning a header, McCrorie has to be in front of him. A far better a player and one of our own. Alves is supposed to be an experienced world class defender, he got run ragged by Moult and Ryan Bowman. Shocking.

Windass - Get to f**k. The boy is brutal, doesn't have a footballing brain and shouldn't be in the team.

Candieas - Can't fault him for trying, but should be using his pace more to get in behind the defence and crosses were poor.

Dorrans and Jack - I feel these two guys (besides Celtic's center mids) are among the best pair of Cm's in the league. But after yesterday they got bullied, there was no flair at all between them. No link up play. I was pretty disappointed by these two, And with them both being Rangers Supporters you would think they would show some passion and fight.

Pena - Iv'e been pretty unsure about this guy, his actual play has been shocking. First touches, passes etc. But he has been scoring goals. This would have been a good stage for him to show everyone that he has ability. But he instead showed everyone how poor at football he really is.

Morelos - I actually feel sorry for this kid, he put himself about yesterday and you could see he was fustrated. He has no service, he had a couple of chances and didn't take them. Let's hope the goals haven't dried up for him.

Pedro - I was a small percentage of fans that wanted to give Pedro time, but on the big occasions we have simply not turned up. It's been poor. You can't see what sort of direction he is going with the team, we are also showing a lack of energy near the end which tells us fitness is an issue. It looks like there is a split between the players, between the foreign players and Scottish.

I'm worried for the rest of the season now, we need to get a good run on the go to build all the players confidence and the fans. I honestly don't know (of the top of my head) what manager would want to come to this mess at the moment.

Good post ally . Bang on the money . The cheap option would be MacLeish until end of the season if we got rid of Pedro although can we afford to sack him? I like Pedro and was willing to give him a chance, however some of the stuff he has been coming out with and the fall out with Miller who has been a great servant to the club have been embarrassing . I don’t think mcleish is the answer although he would definitely get the players playing for the jersey .

It was good that Brendan came out about the abysmal state of Scottish refereeing. Said 4 players should have been sent off, 3 steelmen and Bruno.
OK we were poor, but we are not helped by the officials who blatantly ignore the rules.

I agree with most of your post but I’m not going to shout for his head just yet but jury is out big time think he needs one more transfer window we need a left winger (Walker) a striker (Moult) and a midfielder (McLean) if we had just spent a bit more in last transfer window we would have been in the final as for Pena he has been poor never a number 10 but he is now becoming the scape goat not one player played well yesterday yes question the manager but every player needs to look in the mirror and ask did I give my all yesterday?
