    It isn't one poor performance though, when have we blown through a European group stage ever? That is a good EL league level group, it certainly could have been easier. I am not saying qualification is impossible, but looking for 12/13 points without losing is completely unrealistic and is not backed up historically or by our current European form.

    We need to sort our defense if we want to progress

    AIK were unlucky early on and a better quality team would have punished us. Going forward we have goals in the team but the backline looks so disorganised. Sunday will see how our new players handle a hostile away game when the defense will come under pressure. If they come through that then i think they will get confidence but if it goes pear shaped then it could have detrimental effect.

    Lazio & Rennes will fancy scoring against us and Cluj know they can so it really is down to how quickly our backline gets their act together

    In my book either Salzburg or Leipzig could top this group. We got out of a group with the pair of them. That's a fairly recent European form for me

    I quite like the way the fixs have fallen there with the Lazio double header in the middle and the pot 4 team as our first home game and our last game.

    Agreed..

    Think it actually suits us the way it's panned out there..

    Got a good chance of qualifying..

    Should ideally be aiming for 6 points from the first two and going into Lazio at home we would have a lot of confidence.

    Rennes are no mugs, had a great start to there season, tougher than Lazio i would say. Saying that i think it's a fantastic group and a level we should be competing with.
