Marciano ..... 4 ..... Possibly his worst game in a Hibs jersey .... failed to command his area and badly at fault for their first goal, a few dodgy kicks as well.
Gray ..... 5 ..... Didn't do a lot that I could see and has to take his share of the blame for a shambles at the equaliser.
Ambrose .... 6 ..... I thought he had a very good first half, but like everybody else faded badly after half time.
Hanlon ..... 6 ..... Was OK but like everybody else at the back didn't do enough to stop Motherwell making chances in our box.
Whittaker ... 4 ..... Ineffective as a defender, as he has been all season, and brought nothing of note going forward, why is this guy still a first pick?
Bartley .... 6 ..... I actually thought his passing was above his usual standard and he gave everything as usual, is it any wonder he toiled towards the end as part of a 2 v 5 midfield?
McGinn ..... 6 ..... Well below his usual standard and one of his worse examples of running into blind alleys with the ball, but he tried to make things happen as part of the 2 man midfield with Bartley ..... as close as a player can get to being chucked under the bus by the managers tactics, just like Bartley.
Boyle ..... 5 .... Did his best, but rendered pretty ineffective by Motherwell who had two guys on him for most of the match.
Barker .... 6 ..... Very good in the first half, but faded badly in the 2nd and he should have been subbed, not the far more energetic and far better defensively Boyle.
Stokes ..... 8 ..... Scored twice and put himself about far more, you cant ask any more from a striker.
Murray ..... 5 ..... Pretty ineffective, but then he has to expect more chances from a team with two wingers, he showed enormous heart and attitude to chase back 50 yards and win back a ball he had lost in the first place, well done to him for that.
SUBS:
Slivka .... 5 ..... He looks a good player on the ball and we showed far more after he came on.
Big Dave .... 4 ..... Didn't do much.
McGeouch ...... 10 ...... Its an insult to a super player to give him 4 minutes.
Neil Lennon .... 5
He has to change the formation from now on, its clear that playing with two wingers in this league and leaving two lads in the midfield to get utterly swamped wont work .... at least not after half time as the two lads in midfield run out of steam.
The Ref .... 5 .... He wasn't the worst, but he allowed an assault ( it was a clear elbow in the face ) on Ambrose to go unpunished in the first half and then booked Slivka in the 2nd for a far less blatant use of the arm. In the first half he didn't even stop play when one of our guys was levelled off the ball right in front of him, but then penalised Bartley for a shoulder charge in the same part of the pitch in the 2nd which indirectly lead to Motherwell's first goal.
