The drop of from the dundee Utd game until now is pretty staggering,we have looked a really poorly coached team the last couple of games to the point were seeing none of the basics being done.i get the manager is under the spotlight but there's to many players that have switched off all of a sudden that need to buck there ideas up, cut out the idiotic mistakes and give the manager a fighting chance.ive questioned his team selection a couple of times this season but at the same time,it was the players on the park that couldn't put a dent in stenhousmuir over 120 minutes and to lose heavily to that aberdeen side was embarrassing.im not saying alfred isn't blameless,it's his job to find the answers to the current problems and get the best out his players.the lack of experience in the team is a concern for me but it's been a hectic start to the season and hopefully things will settle and we will soon be out of this sticky patch were in.

We're far to slow in possession with no real attacking idea and now we're seeing more and more individual errors costing us,that's a recipe for disaster,the manager was loyal to too many today after that horror show against aberdeen and we got no reaction from the team as a whole,some of them need a boot up the arse and a spell on the bench.im still all for the manager but he needs to start getting it and quick,that's him been outfoxed and played right into the hands of two duds in robinson and pressley,he's got options at his disposal and he will need to start changing it up a bit as we look like we could very easily go on a really poor run of form.

We are still in the game and thats the only positive we can take from that first half but there's far too many that are going through the motions,we needed too see a reaction after the other night and now would be the time to get it.

You tend to get a couple of games a season like last night where your coming away thinking what the fuck have i just witnessed,between that and the stenhousemuir game,hopefully we don't see many more throughout the season.i think a big part of the problem is were chopping and changing too much,the manager needs to figure out his best 11 and get it on the park with how he wants his team to play,last night made no sense we start with a forward line with no height or physicality but the plan seems to put crossed into the box when we get the chance,who is it were expecting to get on the end of these crosses,considering houlden scored from a cross in our last game at home,why is he sitting on the bench and as for cook,he isn't the answer to any of our problems.its a time for calm heads,o'donnell needs brought in as were all over the place in defence,a bit of experience will be welcome.i would like too see us move longelo into an attacking role on the left,he would bring a bit of pace and direct running and can be a goal threat,maybe bringing williams in at left back will help also,last night was definitely a worrying performance but we have the chance to get it out our system very quickly,the line up for dens will be very interesting to say the least.

Aye we need to get o'donnell into the team and help steady the ship,I would also bring in williams and move longelo forward.

A very worrying nights work for us,that was absolutely shocking,the forward line that started the game just won't do, kangala doesn't look ready to be starting games and maswanhise and cooke are bone idle and when you throw is said we have assembled 4 players that are all very similar and offering very little at present,we needed something different through the middle tonight but yet again cook starts.defensively is now a real concern, we look all over the place as soon as a bit of pressure comes our way,7 goals conceded between st mirren and aberdeen is woeful,we're not looking a particularly well drilled side at both ends of the park and that is a big problem.

Willy Wonka is quite funny to be fair

Don't shoot the messenger mate 😂

According to jane lewis on the bbc,there's been no bids for any of our players and we don't expect any,it looks like there will be no incomings with some of our younger players potentially heading out on loan.

Nearly 6000 home fans for a midweek game is good going,there would have been a time fairly recently when we would have seen about 4000 there for this type of fixture even on a saturday,to put it into context there was quite a load more motherwell fans at our game last night than what there was in the entirety at rugby park and almost as many for a so called derby game at dens park.

I really hope we keep a hold of longelo,he's started the season I really good form,I think him playing further forward and williams at left back could be an interesting option for us.

Seb looks to be a willing runner that will put himself about which is much needed in the formation we play and something we have been missing,hopefully he can chip in with a few goals throughout the season,it's just a pity he didn't get his head up and square the ball in the first half rather than shoot.

I fully expected to be well beaten over the 2 legs but there's definitely a touch of disappointment with the goals that we conceded and the red cards but there's been plenty of positives to take from this european and what we have seen so far and if we can get a break on the injury front,there's no reason why we can't be fighting it out to be in europe again next season and considering its been another rebuild for us this summer,the players and manager should be proud,we're not even out of august and we have played the best team we will all season.

Just like the first leg,how the game can change in the blink of an eye.

Frustrating night especially the second half,we were comfortable then gave the ball away cheaply and within seconds it's a penalty then a sending off,same for the corner that led to the goal,we had possession gave it away then were ultimately punished again.

It really is unbelievable,we just seem to have to many players that can't be relied on to stay fit,according to the bbc koutroumbis latest injury is from putting his strip on,which if true has to the worst one yet.

The one thing we will all agree on is that there is definitely a juggling act going on with the squad at the minute,the manager is in a kinda damned if you do,damned if you don't situation right now.im not going to point the blame to much at the manager as the team he started with should have been good enough to put us in a position where we didn't need to be bringing on the likes of fadinger and longelo as a rescue act.the players as a collective fucked that up today,the likes of vogt should have been bursting a gut to put in a performance and get off the mark with a goal against a lower league side but he went through the motions the whole game.theres probably some from today ie ross and wilson that have done there chances some serious harm in terms of the manager being able to trust them in future games.

Our forward line needs addressing and quick,there all far to similar and other than said there all lazy,it was clear we didn't want to overplay on that pitch but there was zero movement from our forwards to get in behind or down the channels,we need an out and out winger and a number 9 and let's get away from these that can play anywhere across the front line types plus I really hope were not pining our hopes on the strikers that we currently have injured as there not the answer either.

I'm not buying into being down the bare bones and resting players,shite pitch etc,we should have had enough at any point in that game to get the job done and we have massively fucked it up,we barely created a chance in 120 minutes and thats unforgivable.weve brought in a fortune over the summer and it's about time we got a couple of forwards in that can make a difference,cooke is poor and vogt looks like he's won a competition to be here and that should be the end of the road for the likes of wilson and ross.

We've finished this game with a forward line that wouldn't look out of place in the league below,absolutely pitiful.

Our forward line is dire.

The pitch is dreadful but we have been just as bad,I get there playing out of necessity but wilson and ross aren't the answer and masanhise and vogt need a rocket up there arse,hopefully the managers half time team talk does the business as were miles off it here.

On the face of it that looks to be a really good signing.
