MisterC 12,851 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 In the past we started brightly with wins and draws then faded as the group stage went on and got knocked out. Perhaps this time we are having a slow start but will pick up as the group goes on especially as next 2 games are versus the Romanians. Does anyone think we will have a strong finish to the group stages and qualify from there? I know after last night perhaps not, but there is no harm in believing it can be done. Thoughts guys?

Muff 245 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Don't see why we can't beat both Unirea and Stuttgart at home. I think we'll struggle in Romania and Spain. 7 more points are a possibility IMO, but you never know with Rangers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
papaguy51 941 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I heard someone say last night that our formation REQUIRES us to take the lead, as we're very hard to break down in our 4-5-1 if we have a goal advantage. If we score first against Unirea, I expect us to win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumshie 205 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 The double header with the Romanians will decide the group i think. Best case scenario for us is having 7 points come the Stuttgart game. They might only have 2 or 3 points as I expect Sevilla to take at least 4 points from them. Stuttgart fans must have been sitting at the start of the campaign wanting 4 or 6 points from the first two games. They only have 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

papaguy51 941 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 When was the last time we scored 1st? In Europe? Kaunas! But that would totally destroy the point of my original post there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlippinEck 3,875 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 comparisons, stark difference for me is the fact we actually have created a lot of chances, quite a few clear cut ones, and that is probably down to the more creative personell in our squad this time around Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterC 12,851 Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 Well I think that all hope is not lost but we have to be more resillient than we were in the 2nd half last night. I think we can still come through it but we must get 4 points out of the next 6 to stand any chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
