They've spent almost as much as us this transfer window (Eur2.9 million), including signing Rocco Shein from the Kitchen Champions League for Eur800,000. I knew it would be all glamour when we entered Europe.

I think Sosa will start. There seems to be a clear distinction between his and Mitchell's strengths, with one being better at defending and the other better going forward. Benitez might possibly start in goal. Other than that, I don't think Glasner will risk changing much. If our usual front three start then we should have too much for them. At this stage of the season, getting minutes in might actually help get players up to 100% match fitness/sharpness for the PL.

Torn.

Given the difficulty of the really tricky away leg, we need to get a decent cushion of goals at home. But...

Low block, late tackles and that game on Sunday..?

I dunno.

I know, I'll leave it to Ollie!

I can see Frederickstad playing for penalties from the off.

At £30 for a European night at Selhurst I’d hope we’ll be selling out regardless? I’m coming down from Derby hoping it’ll go well and I’ll watch it back like the three Wembley games 😊

Some of us older buggers have waited a long time for this, so I make you right, but I know it means more to some than others

They will be stunned by how many free kicks they concede. EPL and the other elite leagues are just too good at buying spot kicks.

But you look so young in that picture.

Being compared to Sir Billy of Gilbert, I shall most definitely take as a compliment 😎🤣

A potential banana skin?
Hopefully not otherwise we will be the laughing stock of Europe.

Blimey you're a cheerful fella aren't you!

Opportunity for Sosa, Esse, and Edouard to impress in the first half. Should be a quiet, seamless intro for Benitez, allows Hendo to rest up for the Forest game, Mitchell also saved for Forest.

I can see Benitez being used for at least half of the Conference fixtures if we go deep / all the way, so that Dean isn’t overstretched for domestic games.
