    Genuine question: how good are these?
    I'd have to suspect from that Latvian sides will be dangerous if we play badly but that we should beat them if we turn up. Would that be about right?

    Yeah probably just as dangerous as Hungarian sides if we don’t play well :87: Also applies to any other team to be honest.

    If we don’t tighten up the midfield soon we are going to continue to be vulnerable to conceding these stupid goals no matter who the opposition is.

    * *, Latvian sides dangerous? Is this how low our expectations in Europe have sunken too.. Latvian sides are absolute dug * and we should brush them aside with ease.. "should"

    Ajer isn't a DM option, wish people would forget that notion..

    He's been a CB for seasons now.

    Suppose we can't take anything for granted after Ferencvaros, but I'd hope we have enough in the locker to stroll past these regardless of who plays.

    Would rest Brown for this, he's not going to manage every game and hasn't been good enough anyway. Give Soro a proper chance.

    Brown's gonna play, although I feel he should sit it out.

    Take nothing for granted but this really should be for the taking or I don’t know what the point is.

    Badly need a convincing win although at this stage i'd take any kind of win.

    It's not about the money for me it's about building momentum and high time Lenny and the team started to give us all something be pleased about from start to finish. Sadly predicting the team is like trying to win the * lottery. Still whoever starts hopefully take their chances and cut out the mainly stupid defensive errors.

    Undoubtedly doing the 10 is the priority but i don't see any reason why if we play to our strengths we can't get to the group stages at the very least.

    We need the prestige of being in Europe, it keeps our name on a bigger platform. Truth be told, from a domestic stand point, it would suit us better not being in it but that can’t even begin to come into our thinking in the qualifiers. It potentially could be the catalyst for Eddy staying another season or leaving, as an example.

    It's like touting Broony as a striker option because he played there in the youths. :56:

    They are halfway through their season. Portuguese player top scorer, 1 Argentinian, 5 Brazilians and of the 9 Latvians in the squad most of them play for their country as well.
