    I can't see us scoring more than one goal and I can't see us not conceding.:bbpd:

    I'm quite looking forward to seeing Bangura playing against us actually. The guy couldn't kick his own * while he was here so it'll be interesting to see how he does.

    I expect Celtic to win this match by a couple of goals. Hopefully we can do it without conceding an away goal.

    Probably around 6pm. Not 100% sure. I'm usually in the ground by half 6 for a quarter to 8 kickoff so it should be open by then.

    No way will Lenny leave out Brown.

    -----------------Forster------------------
    Lustig----Wilson----Mulgrew----Izzy
    -------------------Kayal------------------
    Forrest--Brown--Ledley--Boerrigter
    ----------------Samaras-----------------

    If Lenny goes for Commons, it will be for either Forrest or Boerrigter .

    Helsinki and all other Finnish football are utter crap atm (all are out btw) - Can't see the resemblance between the two at the moment to be frank.

    Elfsborg are also almost every year in the top-3 in Sweden, but then usually cave in when it comes to European matches. Too big stage for the boys from Borås it often seems like. Maybe they learned and got enough with routine from Europe to this year, I dunno?
    Anyway, I still think you'll take this one pretty convincingly. You're also much more physical than them. Just like you were against Helsingborg last time around and in that meeting, it was a major factor, specially in the second leg.

    The only way I can see Elfsborg go thru this round is if you can't match their match-tempo and start chasing the ball and their players. And if so, that they also get some reward for their play to take home with them. If not... they're toast!

    Had you instead got Malmö (impossible I know) then I think you could have been in real trouble. They thrive on Brittish/Irish teams. Just too bad for them that Swansea are anything but Brittish in their style of play. (It's Mission Impossible for them)

    Last, what the f am I doing on this thread in the early morning?
    The sun is dangerous I guess. Oh well, good luck.

    Nervous for this one. I know the swedish league isn't the strongest and they're not exactly dominating it this season but they are so far ahead of us in terms of fitness. I worry for our defence.

    Nervous in the service.

    Although I'm also nervous as * but remember we defeated a much stronger Helsinborgs side this time last year.

    True, but we have a weaker squad this time round.

    I just worry about a lack of firepower without Hooper, I hope not but I'm fearing a 0-0

    Not quite sure how you work out that they were much stronger.
