When you set up in a negative system with mostly defensive minded players with no intensity and let the other team settle and find their way into the game you get what you deserve, ffs we should be at it from the off especially at home against a struggling team but with the majority with that defensive mindset will never do that for you then the balance between attack and defense is out of sync.

Absolutely pitiful,we have several poor options up front,mainly all the same type of player and the same goes for the midfield,to be over reliant on an 18 year old just isn't on no matter how good he is.we are now quickly becoming poor defensively after it looking like that was an area we had improved on.5 defenders plus halliday and davor at home against a side that has struggled all season was a joke.

Not sure what is more embarrassing the Motherwell 0 bit or the Hibs 3 bit.

Abject performance.  It was apparent from about 10 minutes we were going to do absolutely nothing in that game.

Most of it is on the players, it's not the managers fault when a goalkeeper waves at a cross, but the manager also has to accept some blame when he's unable to alter the course of the game.

That level of performance is unacceptable.

Defenders looking at each other instead of defending, goalkeeper flapping, Hibs roughing us up and no one doing anything about it.  Midfield basically absent with Lennon Miller trying to do a 4 man job himself.  Up front it's all wrong.

For me it's gone south since we introduced different players into the team.  Stam, sorry, but he's been completely ineffective.  Wilson moving into midfield, not happening.  Seddon and Balmer coming in has put us backwards and turned us into a throw in freak show.

Davor is a dead shirt, Halliday had improved but he was stinking today. Watt came on at HT and had zero impact.

Upfront, I said it back then and I'll say it again.  With Robinson up front we were much better than now.  Maswanhise needs to be playing on the touch line instead of playing half the match as a centre forward. 

OK, McGinn is injured and that forces a change but there has just been too much tinkering around when we had a system that worked earlier in the season.

Where to start with that feckin shambles today, 2 shots on target, a keeper who has been solid all season so far gifting them a goal, no midfield, no goal threat, no plan apart from kicking it long.

The squad is down to the bare bones,our injury list is shocking, Robinson, Zdravkovski, and  Halliday are worse than a man short, all 3 of them are brutal. 

SK's game plan was abysmal against a team who have conceded 7 goals in their last 2 games, we never threatened them. With the run of games we have coming up before the transfer window opens i fully expect us to be right back in the relegation fight, something needs to change as what's being offered now is not working.

I'm a " happy clapper" and think sk has done a relatively good job but much more of that and questions need to be asked

Only positive, we looked a bit better when Paton and Seddon came on.

Davor has no effect on any game I've watched and should have his contract paid up and offski.

Robinson offers little also

The tactics are beyond negative,he sets us up not to lose and hope we can nick a win in a tight game then when it goes wrong the answer is to throw on another forward player and yet still play the same way.i think kettlewell has done a good job for us but it really looks like he's not learning from previous mistakes,today was pretty much like last week all over again and we see the same end result.to have went with such a negative line up against a team who's manager was on the verge of the sack was a disgrace.

O dear, here we are at the end of November and the same old stuff is being offered on the pitch and on the site. You'll never convince me that our model of ownership and buying to sell on will ever produce a really competitive team for a consistent top six place.. I don't even watch SK in Youtube since it's the same story every week.
