Sunday wasn't good enough but hopefully just a blip this season. The season will pan out fine, I reckon, we just need to get into our stride. Would like another CM in if we can, but looks unlikely.

Always the same folk and the hyperbole is crazy . Most supporters with a modicum of sense just lick their wounds and deal with the disappointment themselves with out losing their minds online egged on by the misogynists , the Hibs fans and the just plain dumb . Then after a day or two you find there are those who have been reading the total bullshit and quietly disagreeing . Then the debate and discussion returns but those who were gleefully building multiple bonfire threads do not like this turn of events and start with the tropes like happy clappers and shambles ect We win and go through on Thursday and they will move on to things like now we will struggle in the league because of the European games , or picking out individual players as not good enough It is all so very transparent repetitive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think PAOK are anything special so we defo have a slight chance of going through. I'd go with:- Clark Offiah Kent Rowles Kingsley Devlin Nieuwenhof Vargas Boyce cochrane Shanks Nieuwenhof has a calf injury and didn’t travel.
