At the end of the day we went through relatively comfortably in comparison to them as they struggled to scrape through with a single goal advantage. If we get the goals going we can take this. They lost 2 goals to a team with a 1,000 capacity stadium. I think the tie is very much up in the air and that it'll depend who performs on both gamedays, defends well, takes chances and gets a little luck here or there. I think the away leg this Thursday will be a difficult match and I can't see us suddenly clicking in Croatia. I think it might take a few weeks until we see some good stuff middle to front. One positive about the Osijek tie was that in neither leg against Petrocub did they keep a clean sheet. Last season, clean sheets were a feature of their 4 qualifying rounds European run. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMAA 3,658 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 IMO here's the order from easiest to hardest (and I've assumed some teams will go through); Maribor (SVN) København (DEN) Olympiacos (GRE) Feyenoord (NED)Bordeaux (FRA) It's a very tough draw. I'd say we'd only be slight favourites for Maribor and underdogs for the rest. And even then, Maribor's squad are far more experienced in Europe than us. I hadn't realised what a huge task qualifying for the group would be. Not to be presumtous, but fingers crossed for Maribor or Copenhagen because the other 3 present an enormous challenge for us just now. The fact we're a bit worried about Osijek is the proof of that. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
