What kind of results do ye think Rovers will get in their group matches?
What kind of results do ye think Rovers will get in their group matches?
I'd say they'll surprise a few and pick up one or 2 wins and maybe a draw so I'm guessing around 7 points.
I think it'll be sept points ou cinq points.
I went for three points (more with the heart than the head to be honest) -2 draws against PAOK and a draw against Rubin Kazan, otherwise they might miraculously sneak a win -maybe at home to PAOK.
On paper they'd be expected to get 0 points, so let's hope that doesn't happen!
5 points I reckon.
2 points and no shame in that either.
2 points. Draw at home to PAOK, and a draw at home against Kazan. After that it'll be a case of keeping the GD respectable.
Maybe summer football will prove to be drawback in the latter stages of Europe?
6 points.
Win away at spurs -3
draw at home spurs -1
kazan at home -1
paok away -1
Far more important question is how many do we need to qualify?
Going on what the 3rd-placed teams have generally got in the past two years, 7 or 8 points seems to be enough. A few of them got more, some got less, one got 10 points and failed to qualify, another got only 3 points, so getting just 4 points was needed to qualify in that group. I doubt we'll need only 4 points in ours, but 2 wins and 2 draws may be enough.
Rubin Kazan (H) win
Tottenham Hotspur (A) loss
PAOK (A) draw
PAOK (H) win
Rubin Kazan (A) loss
Tottenham Hotspur (H) draw
2 wins. 2 draws. 2 losses.
8 points. Optimistic predictions.
Rubin Kazan (H) draw
Tottenham Hotspur (A) loss
PAOK (A) loss
PAOK (H) win
Rubin Kazan (A) loss
Tottenham Hotspur (H) loss
1 win. 1 draw. 4 losses.
4 points. Possibly being more realistic or pessimistic predictions.
3 get out of the group? Assumed it was two there. Good point mp.
2 from each group.
Rubin Kazan are a great side. Better than anything Rovers will have faced so far. Rovers will struggle to get anything from them I reckon. Spurs are one of the favourites to win the competition. Even if they do rest players Rovers will find it very tricky. PAOK are a interesting club. They seem to be a bit all over the place with different managers and such but are a club on the up. They got through this stage of the competition last year and will fancy qualifying again.
I'm sure Rovers will pick up a point or two from the group but I'm not quite sure where the points are going to come from just yet.
Then what is he on about dare I ask or did I read that arseways?Quote:

Generally 10 points is the aim in a group like this. It's rare, but does happen, that a team will get 10 points and not get through. The team from the UK's Southern League probably will be the toughest opponent. A team from the UK's Northern League has been knocked out at the EL play-off stage these last two seasons. When they are in the EL group 3 years ago, a win and 3 draws was not enough to go through with the second placed team going through with 10 points.

I went with 0 points - it's what I honestly believe will happen. If Rovers do get any points, I can only see them coming against Salonika.
