    2nd leg of our Champions League play-off round with Helsingborgs. As you all know we take a 2-0 lead into this game from Sweden.

    Forster
    Matthews Rogne Mulgrew Izaguirre
    Commons Wanyama Brown Samaras
    Watt Hooper​

    Edit: Brown instead of Twardzik

    Im going for a 2 or 3-0 win. Think Watt has earned the chance to come on, hopefully if/when we get the lead he gets a run out in the second half.

    I think/hope this will be comfortable. My nerves couldn't handle them getting the first goal, especially if it were early in the game.

    I'll be at this one and looking forward to it. European nights can be nervy as * even with a 2-0 lead. Hopefully we can get an early goal. Not concede anything and go on to win this comfortably.

    The odds are massively in our favour after midweek there. It takes a special team to come to Parkhead and score three goals, without conceding any. I believe the last time any team scored three at our place was the old club back in October 2010, with an own goal from Loovens and a penalty that Gollum managed to give whilst facing in the opposite direction.

    The last time we conceded three at home in Europe was Barcelona in February 2008. That is Barcelona though. They are a bit of a special case.

    Brown Sammy and Commons will all come back in, Watt definitely wont start, apart from anything else, two games in five days is a tall as of a young lad, and he's been doing a lot of traveling with the squad so we need to be careful not to overwork him. That said, I think he'll get the last half hour provided the result is comfortable.

    Need to start well and be on the ball defensively as they will surely take their chances this time if we give them space but in saying that confident that we have enough to go through.

    Gutted Joe and Kayal are out so needing a big game from Vic. Watt hitting form is a massive boost as well.

    Hail Hail.........

    Yeh I think the pace of Sammy and Forrest down the wings will cause them a lot of trouble, expect to see Commons further forward this match though which will no doubt cause they a big headache. Plus big Wanyama is back so the defence will get a lot of protection, can't wait for this now.

    Can't be complacent for this. The team started slacking in the final 15 minutes against ICT and that can't happen as CL Group Stages are VITAL.

    Forster
    Matthews, Rogne, Mulgrew, Izaguirre
    Brown, Wanyama
    Forrest, Commons, Samaras
    Hooper

    Subs: Zaluska, Lustig, K. Wilson, McCourt, Twardzik, Bangura, Watt
    If Stokes is fit by then, put him on the bench instead of Bangura.

    Tough leaving Commons out, but I'd stick him on the bench for this one, as he was saying on Twitter that his ankle is still a bit sore. 3-1 to the Hoops.

    That is the team for me. I don't think Helsingborgs could live with that.
    3-0 for the good guys.
