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.
