BWG Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Ticket details: http://www.afc.co.uk/news/6432.php#.VZ-Zh_lVhBc I phoned this morning and they will be operating a facility to collect tickets over there. They will contact you with details next week. Be warned that to book you need Passport numbers, flight numbers and the address of a hotel. -------- Buzzing for this. Think it's got the making of an ace away day with a stadium at the beach in a scorching climate. Preferred lineup for me: Have put Brown in goals but him or Ward are both acceptable. Not really fussed either way. Link to comment

Byrne Baby Byrne Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I think I'd go for the same line up as in Macedonia. With Quinn for Reynolds. Gonna be tough to get anything from this. Link to comment
baconman Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 If we play anything like we did last night then no chance home or away. Best we can hope for is an away draw hopefully get an away goal too if we lose and hope we catch them on a bad day. Their record looks pretty decent but I still think Gronigen was a tougher test so we can do it if the desire is there? Link to comment
tup Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I reckon that Shjendika and Rijeka are pretty well matched in terms of ability and Rijeka will be no tougher a game than we just came through. 1 Link to comment
BWG Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 Think a lot of folk are writing us off based on their score lines in the Europa League last season. Watching some of the clips I think the scorelines flattered them. This team are very similar to ourselves in that they have a very decent manager, had a bit of cash pumped into them and are a team in transition. Tough? Yes. Unbeatable? Absolutely fucking not. We've got two competitive games over them and you'd like to think we'll be more match sharp than them. We beat Groeningen, we can beat this lot. Link to comment
King Street Loon Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Very tough game for us.I think we'll come away with a narrow defeat. 2-1.A defeat won't spoil my trip over. Team will be:WardLogan - Taylor - Considine - ShinnieJack - FloodHayes - McLean - McGinnRooney Flood will start.McInnes will want him in the team to chase and harry like he does and no-one else in the team does.Personally I'd drop Flood and bring in the mighty Quinn. Shunt Considine over to LB and move Shinnie into midfield to support the Crab.I was wondering if Goodwillie might get a start over there. He would be able to come deeper with a bit more effect than Rooney.Pawlett may even get a look in.Plenty options. Link to comment
Sheeptastic Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I expect Pawlett to start this one and that to be the only change. I actually quite like the Goodwillie shout, even though I've slated him time and time again. A link up forward is probably more necessary than a poacher for this game. That would allow the likes of McGinn, Pawlett and Hayes to dart through a bit more. Expecting: Ward Logan Taylor Considine Shinnie Flood Jack McGinn Pawlett Hayes Rooney Link to comment
mavv1903 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 They have moved stadiums have they not ? Link to comment
SkyeDon Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I think we might just scrape something, as difficult as I think it'll be. Their pitch is really small, so I'm hoping this might play in to our barrow a bit. We'll have to play a lot better than we did last night but I think we will. Great away trip, regardless of the score mind you. Link to comment
RUL Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Hard to judge as don't know much about Rijeka other than I expect them to be significantly better side than the team we drew with twice...could be a long long night next Thursday, hope we somehow sneak a result. Link to comment
strachanmcgheegoal Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Are the tickets up for the home leg yet? On holiday and will need 6-7 together incl kids so not easy. Happy to gamble on getting first leg result. Quietly confident, assuming confident means utterly shiting it. Link to comment

fifered Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I expect Pawlett to start this one and that to be the only change.

Expecting: Ward Logan Taylor Considine Shinnie Flood Jack McGinn Pawlett Hayes Rooneywould agree with that team bar Pawlett. I know he hit the bar last night but he offered very little else and hasn't done for a while now. McLean has to play. Played well last night, far better at retaining the ball than Pawlett and just overall a better footballer. Also allows us to move to 3 in midfield much like we did away in the first round to try and keep it tighter. Really can't see Pawlett starting this one at all. Link to comment

CalgaryDon Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Apparently they've only lost 2 games at home in 3 seasons. Link to comment
CHOW87 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I reckon Quinn will come in and make a back three with Taylor and Considine. Hayes and Logan as wing-backs and Shinnie moving into midfield. Not sure which midfielder would drop out though. Link to comment
