Jambo Buckets Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 (edited) We would be very unlucky to get a team of Fiorentina’s quality from pot 2 again. Apollon Limassol or Hapoel Beer Sheva from pot 2 would have been competitive games at Tynecastle and gave us a chance of going through.

SM8 Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 IMO… we are in a stronger position to secure that golden group stage spot than this time last year. The gap was 9 points this time last year That’s with a couple more games played due to this season’s world cup fixture lag. Only 1 pt difference. But at the cup quarter final stage last season, along with ourselves, Rangers and Celtic, the likes of Dundee United, H1b5, St Mirren and Motherwell also remained in the hunt. Dundee FC were the only representatives from the second tier down. This time only Killie join us and the Weej duo from the Premiership. Then you’re talking Ayr, Falkirk, Raith and Inverness. For a club to win the cup other than us C or R you are talking an upset that will echo for generations. I predict some more dropped points from our rivals tomorrow and a chance to tighten our grip.

Come on the gorgie Something I'm excited about the potential of for next season is going into it again with a settled squad that know whats expected of them. Our squad this season is undoubtedly stronger now than last season, or even the start of this season. Shanks is flying high in confidence. Snodgrass is playing out of his skin, Devlin has improved tenfold, Sibbick is playing with confidence - there is quality right through our team. It would be nice to go into the conference next season with ambitions to get out of the group stages. Appreciate, that the draw will play a huge factor in this, but its something to aim for. You look at groups E-H and realise we got quite a tough draw with Istanbul and Fiorentina, if we can keep plugging away, there is every chance we might get a favourable draw and be able to go that extra stage further which would be fantastic for the club.

Arguably the most favourable draw we got this season was FC Zurich in the Europa League Play Off round, who we probably should have beaten given how dominant we were against them for 60 mins in the home leg.
