I hadn’t even considered the thought of getting into the Europa league but with a decent draw we have a very good chance. That said we don’t tend to get decent draws in Europe Link to comment

Roger Ramjet 62 Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Remarkable achievement. Minimum four away trips to Europe. Is there still a ten week wait to get a passport? Link to comment

There's folk on here already talking about finishing 3rd in the europa groups and qualifying for the conference knock out rounds as if it's routine stuff. This will be a big step up for us this season and we'll need a much better team and squad than we had last year if we're going to compete. 1 Link to comment

Yes we will play a team from pot 3 or 4 but a lot of who we may face depends on the results in the Champions League qualifying rounds as some of these teams are League champions and are seeded to drop into the Europa play-off round so there may be a few different names by the time the draw is made Link to comment

We will be on the wrong end of at least one hammering, maybe scrape a lucky win somewhere, draw a couple of games , finish outside the qualifying spots with a negative goal difference, and a few goals scored.

It's what it's all about Totally agree. I'm sure everyone is looking forward to being back in Europe next season. It's the "we should be beating" stuff that's unhelpful. Sucks the life out of it before you start. Link to comment
