Of course, I live in hope but our squad doesn't have much (if any) experience at this level. If we can manage to qualify for a few seasons in a row and maintain a relatively steady squad then it's a totally different prospect. Right now though, not so muchQuote:

Yeah but 3 out of the whole squad. I think my point still stands.Quote:

In defence, i am confident Smith/Freeman, Edwards/Mulgrew/Graham and McMann/Duffy will be fine. Up front for now, Watt and Clark is played right will do a job.
The midfield however is needing someone like Levitt back, but also a player that can anchor the midfield, and i think that is where i think we will fail to deliver on both counts sadly.
We do need 5 or 6, but there are also plenty youngsters who are that wee bit older as well.
2 really as Graham is so young. Agree unless we pull out some amazing signings (and Harkes isn't one of them) we will have a Jolly which is fantastic but no where near getting into group stages or beyondQuote:

We don't want to be a one and done as Ogren says
Hopefully the new manager doesn't invite you to give the pre match team talk!Quote:

It's 4 games isn't it? 2 at home 👍
Let's not forget that we took points off both halves of the uglies last season so it's entirely possible we can do this, although we are definitely going to need some players first >;)Quote:
