    They're a good side and as per think some of our fans underestimated them. No easy games at this level.

    We weren't at our best so I'll take a point. Next two games will decide it.

    Need 1 win from 3 remaining games if you offered us that at the start you would bite the hand off them.

    I still think we're doing really well. 5 points from pot 1&2 games, I'd have taken that at the start. I think we beat Young Boys and I don't think getting draws in our away games is out of the question.

    If we can't win against young boys at home with their -15 goal difference then we really shouldn't be in this competition at all. I think the 3 points will come there and the rest of the games are just going to be with no expectations

    The point in Atalanta may prove so important

    We're still in a great position, played a very good and well organized team tonight.

    Aye 5 points from Atalanta away, Leipzig and Brugge at home isn't bad at all..

    Could very easily be sitting on 3 points as I we rode our luck in Bergamo a bit and I think Brugge were the better team tonight..

    Getting there. Still more improvement in this squad and positions that need strengthened in the next couple windows..

    This campaign so far we've shown progress in comparison to previous seasons, change in format has been helpful, but you still have to perform and pick up points especially from your home games, we've managed to do that.

    Shaktar, Girona, Salzburg, Bologna, and Stuttgart all lost, which is really good news for us. Red Star won today but they have PSV and Milan as two of their next games, so unlikely they go through, same with Strum Graz, they have Atalanta and Lille away so no chance they go through.

    Looking at the teams in the bottom 12, I could only really see PSG going above us, a win would all but secure qualification but we might get away with a draw as well.

    Another wide option is crucial. We need more creativity still and I include the midfield in that too.

    I'm interested to see what we do in January.

    Just realised that the knock out stage draw works like,
    9th or 10th vs 23rd or 24th
    11th or 12th vs 21st or 22nd
    …and so on.

    A draw will decide which of 9th or 10th will play against which of 23rd or 24th, etc.

    With a top 8 finish looking extremely unlikely now, we should obviously be aiming to get as high as we can on the table, every point counts.
    Although knowing our luck, we could finish 9th and draw Real Madrid or PSG the way things are looking now! :56:

    The Dinamo game will be important for us and them. And it's a shame I don't have anyone to go to the game with. Probably a unique chance to see the Bhoys live goes begging.

    9 points should be enough to qualify since there's a 4 point gap between us & 25th.

    Win at home to Young Boys and that should be enough. A point wasn’t a disaster last night. It actually had a bit of the Bodo Glimt game feel to it. Playing a side who were very well coached and set up well. It’s a game we lose in years gone by. I do think it ends any sniff of top 8, but it was never really about that in. It means that no matter what now, we will still be in a play off position regardless of what happens in Zagreb.

    In the last 11 games Atalanta have played, they've won 10 of the 11, including a 3-0 win away to Napoli, 2-0 win away to Stuttgart and a 6-1 win away to Young Boys, the only team they've failed to beat is us at Bergamo.

    Shows you how massive a result that was.

    The atmosphere in the stadium last night was absolutely abysmal.

    As soon as we show signs of being able to compete at this level, hope turns to expectation and the majority of support sit on their arses expecting us to run over the top of teams like Brugge who’ve been far more successful than us in Europe in recent years.

    No doubt the same folk who tell everyone it’s the best atmosphere in world football. Genuinely felt like I was at a domestic game against St Johnstone, it was so poor.

    Makes it worse that the team were clearly having an off night and needed our backing more than usual.

    We're going to get an absolutely brutal draw if we make it through aren't we? :56:

    The teams in our 'bracket' are crazy as things stand.

    I did underestimate brugge but i still think we deserved to win that match. We had most possession and eventually got to grips with it. I feel sick for CCV but am sure he will bounce back from it.
