Anyone notice how Kiernan was at fault for every Motherwell chance in the first half? Always two yards behind his man.

Much prefer Wilson to Kiernan, I just don't rate Kiernan at all. Wilson I still think could actually be our best defender, with the right partner beside him. His tackling and passing has a bit class about them, he just needs somebody who can read the game in beside him to keep him right because technically there's not much better than him in Scottish Football. I know I'll get slated for saying that, but it is my opinion. And Liverpool don't pay £2m for a 17 year old for nothing.

nope taverner was at fault a lot more.

I thought Tav defended well yday to be fair. I would rather have attacking FB's who ship the odd goal anyway. Better to watch and they create more than lose. No way Tav cost us 15+ last season. It's essential to the passing game we play, when the bus has been parked like yesterday and all of last season Tav and Wallace were the extra bit of quality in attack that won us so many games imo.

There was little cover in midfield, Halliday ran about like a blindman and the sooner Barton and Rossiter are in the team the better.

Tom42 the blind man that cleared from the line early on? the blind man as you call him could be the blind man that saved us from defeat, imagine he never cleared the goal line, totally different scoreline for sure.

Part him and part bad tactics. Lost count of how many times I heard commentator say "bad defending from rangers".

Need to tighten up as Motherwell did have good chances from simple crosses and punts up park.

Hopefully that's something that we will work on, along with moving ball bit quicker. But for a first game some thought we would lose, I thought it was a decent start - they could of scored but we could also have got a few more.

Always been pro Wilson myself. Feel as if people forget he was injured and forced to play at the start of last season and looked it. Looks a lot more solid now and can definitely pass the ball.

Got the result we needed yesterday so the Warburton bandwagon is back on the road. Early doors but some very familiar patterns to last season; would have benefitted from an out and out striker, the defence kept it interesting right up until Waghorn got the second in the 91st minute and Wes proved to be a good shot stopper but hesitant when the ball is in the air. A bit disappointing to be reliving the shortcomings of last season but lots of positives to consider too. Wag and Tav still got it and combined well, Windass and MOH looked direct and full of pace and menace, good to see Harry back in action, ( not his best performance but some nice touches) and Niko looked pure quality. And look who we still have to bring in. The defence is where we need the most reassurance! It will be interesting to see what Gilks brings to the party and see if we feel any more confident - I certainly expect him to dominate the box and deal with the high/ crossballs better than Wes. As for our much criticised centre backs - in time I am sure Joey will offer better cover and this is bound to help. Clint could prove to be better than both our regulars. I still think Danny Wilson is a footballer, much more so than Keirnan who looks to be the week link based on decision making and technical execution. Hopefully this is an area we will further strengthen. Know I will get peters for this but just for the craic, anyone think Charlie Mulgrew could do a job? I have always rated him; good, solid and reliable, good touch on the ball, good in the air and always seems to be able to raise his game. Would be great to help Brenda make another poor decision. Anyways, can't wait to see who the last few additions will be and then 55, we're coming for you!

But recbob hits the nail on the head I always felt that Wilson had class about him all forgetting he actually came through our academy as well is he not a childhood rangers fan? and he made us a few million in a transfer as well I don't know why the guy was getting stick I felt the weakness in defence was always right sided and have said so on many occasions (Kiernan and Tav can't play together)
