Motherwell coach Stuart Kettlewell blasted his young side after they were held to a 2-2 Reserve League draw by derby rivals Hamilton Accies at K-Park.
Ellis Brown gave the visitors the lead after just three minutes, but a double from Corey O'Donnell on his return from injury had the Steelmen 2-1 ahead at the interval.
However, a foul by Ali Gould led to Ben Black netting a penalty equaliser in 57 minutes to ensure a share of the spoils.
