Looks like we have sneaked into the seeded side of the draw. But but the danger is Rapid Vienna are in the unseeded pot. Nightmare could return😟

Have we bitten off more than we can chew.  A lot of games and at the time of writing not a strong squad.  We will need to rotate but as seen against Stevenage and Manure we may have a strong starting 11 but certainly lack back up players.  Perhaps a decent second string goalkeeper may change things.

Well, we need to do it at some point.

To me, we need to make sure we are up there in the top six in the league next season as a priority. After that, go as far as we can in the cups and europe.

The extra revenue comes in handy, we already have quite a few players who don’t get many minutes, plus several good youngsters ready to take the next step up. I think we will be fine.

The draw's not until the 7th of August, I'll wait until then. But it only leaves a couple of weeks before the play off game.

I don't suppose it will be much easier to get tickets than it is for away games. I'm assuming tickets will be issued against passport details.

I reckon we should just give the place to Spurs, they'll be able to cope.

I'd like to have seen someone telling Ron Saunders that his team weren't ready for Europe.

It's a bit early to worry about the number of games given we haven't even made the group stage yet. And it's not like we don't have plenty of notice that we're in Europe and a transfer window opening soon.

The goalie was the main problem in those cup games have we ever won a game with him in nets ?
A strong second goalkeeper is essential

We need better back ups than the Augustinsons of this world, but I think that will sort it self out over the summer

It’s fantastic that we have options!

Good players who want to be here and compete.
The funds and pull to bring better plays in.
A crop of talented young players with potential to blood.

If We can’t put a good squad together with all that going for us, we never will.

He'd have still been better than Olsen.

Yeah I know, but he still played in those cup games
And you’re not going to win football matches with competition winning players
