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.
