RFC55 108,906 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I know its early days, but i do not think Bursaspor showed enough last night to suggest they are capable of taking 6 points from their next 4 games. It can happen but will it happen? I doubt it.I really really hope we can secure last 16 this year. Its a long way away, but i just want Rangers to let Smith go out with a bang and pit his witts against another top club ie Real, Bayern or Inter. Are you guys confident, by taking these 4 points we have at least secured 3rd? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo. 952 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I'd be surprised if the Turks took 2 or 3 points to be honest.Hope I'm not counting my chickens, but I think 3rd place is secured. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFC55 108,906 Posted September 30, 2010 Author Share Posted September 30, 2010 No, if they beat us thts them only needing one point.They would need to beat us around 7-0 as if it is 1-0 to them over there it will go to goal difference and they have already been scudded 4-0 and are currently on -5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I think they will surprise someone and i mean Man Utd or Valencia in Turkey,Walter has their number so i think we will will get a minimum of a point over there.I'm not going to write them off yet.edit Valencia have been to Turkey Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarcheVinny 1,003 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Not secured, but as they are the last game I think we can assume they won't get any points from their next 3. I think we can get points from valencia and utd. Utd have to beat valencia at OT and if we can draw twice with them at the least wed be looking good for 2nd even if utd beat us at ibrox. Thatd leave valencia 2nd going to last game at OT by a point and wed have to beat bursa. I know that longwinded and all ifs and buts but its what I'm thinkin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adoniram 1,919 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Nothing can be taken for granted in the CL.I expected Valencia to get at least a draw when i saw who was out for Man Utd last night.No one expected us to get humped by Unirea last season.No one expected us to hump Lyon away.Still plenty of twists and turns to come in this group because we are not guaranteed another point either now that our supposed "easy" home fixture is out the road.

watp53 0 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 As said before we tend to drift away as the group goes on. Iy happened in 2000 and 2007. This time, however, we look capable of keeping a clean sheet in any of our remaining games. I think 3rd will be secured because i don't really rate the Turks and don't think they're capable of gaining at least 4 points. If we are to get second, the games versus Valencia are crucial.Would we take 2 draws in these games? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluepeter 5,627 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Not secured, no. Last night's result went a long way to progressing though. I'd be amazed if Bursaspor get anything from Old Trafford or Valencia, or even a point at home against Man U. Until we go into the last game more than 3 points ahead of them though, I'm counting no chickens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterC 12,270 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Its in our hands and if we finish bottom we will have nobody to blame but ourselves. Its do-able but we need to take at least 3 more points in the group stage to stay in Europe beyond xmas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possible yes, but just dont see it.I thought they were pretty poor and we were so comfortable it was unreal.If they beat us 1-0 tho they need a huge swing in GD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
