Uefa Conference League

[wilelliott88]

Kiev will be very tricky, away and experienced in Europe. They will be favourites for that game

Any team who gives us space will give us a chance, we hardly touched the ball against Villa in the first 20 minutes, yet beat them easily...and it could have been 5 or 6!!

I considered a lot of our away games to be against teams that have a violent element of fans and crap stadiums. Almost like UEFA wanted to ruin our experience.

No silly, it’s the carabao cup we’ve got Millwall 🤣

And Forrest, I see that they just signed their 4th Botafogo player this window.

It makes the fact that we got penalised for MCO more frustrating by the day

And in the latest instalment, their record signing (Omari Hutchinson) has been excluded from the Europa League squad and they've only been able to register a squad of 22 as they only have one club-trained player out of the required four (the remaining three places are cut from the allowed squad number). I'm guessing this clears up whether Nuno wanted Omari!

I have nothing against Forest fans, but for the sake of the Marinakis-Textor love affair I hope they get absolutely smashed in the Europa League and we win the Conference League.

I am beginning to be bit concerned about the adequacy of the size of our squad and the impact of the extra competition (Conference League) may have on the first team players performance. I see their main priority as being on the domestic competitions. I have to confess that I am not a fan of UEFA but at least thankful that we did not succeed in our appeal. Forest may well find out that they have got the poisoned chalice. Unless the size of the squad can be increased and players rotated for adequate rest they may start to pick up stress injuries and burnout. I don't know what the magic number for the size of a squad is in these situations but perhaps other members can enlighten me.

Yes but Forest have the depth we lack. They paid 37.5 million, which would be our club record, for Omari Hutchison and he is not even in their Europa Cup squad

I think our lack of experience of European football with most of the squad may mean a slower start as we get to grips with it.

And that probably hasn’t landed well with Hutchinson. There are signs of some issues at Forest and a poor September and the pressure is on

Maybe a dodgy VAR decision and watch Marinakis melt down

Given the location of Kiev (old habits!) - effectively a war zone - do you think may be played elsewhere ?

They play in eastern Poland at the moment

What do you reckon?

Pretty sure it's not "effectively" either.

I’m travelling from Derry to Lublin but based in Warsaw except the Thursday. I’m a gold member but don’t have bundles of points. What will our away allocation be. So do I have a chance of a ticket

Thinks the minimum is 5 percent of the stadium capacity.

Although we are at home for that one, so at least its our crap stadium.

This is true, and by the time they’ve finished in that corner it’ll be even crapper

As expected, UEFA have fined the club 10k Euro's for the "uefa mafia" banners . . .

I don't suppose they're going to like the next set of banners either.

the real punishment will not be a few quid. The ref will give a soft penalty against us in the final 3 minutes. And thus we will leave Europe. Either that or a Thierry Henry handball or similar.......last minute and a devastating blow to us.

Uefa.....Tony Soprano.......it all makes nice telly until its yourself getting it in the @ss.
