    think it will be a learning curve for the manager and players this year.think we might struggle in this group.

    although the optimist in me sais round 32.i would be really happy if we get football after christmas after the early season dissapointments against legia and maribor.

    Well... Yeah.

    The group is a very kind one, a club of our stature is expected to get through it with a minimum of fuss.

    I disagree, I think Salzburg are a very good team and from what I hear the other two are pretty capable as well. I think it will be difficult.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Astra top the group, they look like they have a good team, some great league results for them lately.

    Went for round of 32. Although i'm not that confident to get out of the group
    stages considering how poor we've played against less than average teams already.
    Just hope that experience and the injection of fresh faces gives us a little boost.

    We'll finish 2nd then get Feynoord in the round of 32 and Guidetti will put them out

    Denayer reckons we can make the final if we play our best. Personally I like to hear that belief, so long as we don't get humped and embarrassed at every turn afterwards. Time to start getting results.

    your target has to be to win whatever you enter regardless of how well you have been playing or the squad you have. Any less than the desire to win and it would be pointless entering the competition

    True, but our players never talk about making the final when we're in the Champions League, so what he's saying is somewhat telling of where the squad see their potential in this particular competition.

    Last 16 should be achievable. A favourable draw for the last 32 and we can build a bit of momentum.

    Knowing us though, we will get Man City as a drop down team, or some pish, where they won't let us use Guidetti (still on loan) and hammer us silly.

    This Friday coming is a big day as we will find out who our last32/last 16 (possibly) opponents will be!

    Quite excited with the prospect of European football after Xmas and I'm sure it will be a draw for new players coming in January.

    Ronnie seems to have found his feet in the last month,think he's finally starting to realise these are the games to be judged on and I'm happy he seems to be dropping players that don't seem to be on form which is quite refreshing considering Lennon stuck with the same players despite bad form.

    Exciting week ahead.

    I ken UEFA don't allow that clause etc, was just being a bit hyperbole with it for the usual luck that we get with draws.
