Ten Caat Posted July 22, 2019 Report Posted July 22, 2019 Presuming we get through against the Georgians... Rijeka (again) v Aberdeen Sevco once again get a far easier tie....Midjetylland v newco Quote
RicoS321 Posted July 22, 2019 Report Posted July 22, 2019 I think that it is bad luck for this to have its own thread. Especially as we don't have a round two thread yet. Quote
SeeBass Posted July 22, 2019 Report Posted July 22, 2019 DON'T THINK WE'LL BE WINNING 3-0 AWAY FROM HOME AGAIN!!! I honestly hate playing the same sides even in our own league nevermind abroad. Quote
Panda Posted July 22, 2019 Report Posted July 22, 2019 Presuming we get through against the Georgians... Rijeka (again) v Aberdeen Sevco once again get a far easier tie....Midjetylland v newco Are Rijeka better than midtjylland? Doesn't look much between the two teams on paper, and if anything, the Danes have already started their season while this (I think) will be Rijeka's first competitive games. Quote
LA-Don Posted July 22, 2019 Report Posted July 22, 2019 From what I can see Rijeka have played two legit (ish) games, lost their super cup and won their first league game. Second league game this Saturday. Quote

Doesn't look much between the two teams on paper, and if anything, the Danes have already started their season while this (I think) will be Rijeka's first competitive games. Probably not, but the huns have a better team than us and should overcome the Danes, so it'd have been nice for them to have had a much harder draw. I'm assuming that both they and us would be unseeded for the playoff game now though (I don't think we'll get through for what it's worth)? Quote
LA-Don Posted August 2, 2019 Report Posted August 2, 2019 So what do we know about Rijeka? Played two league games so far, winning both. Looked up their squad and I haven’t heard of anyone but that says as much about me as anything. I think they underestimated us last time and the shock 3-0 killed the tie, don’t expect that this time around. Quote
BigAl Posted August 2, 2019 Report Posted August 2, 2019 Not wishing to tempt fate by starting a topic entitled 4th qualifying round BUT here is what we would be up against as the grouping have been confirmed: GROUP 2 Seeded 1: Sparta Praha (CZE) / Trabzonspor (TUR) 2: Feyenoord (NED) / Dinamo Tbilisi (GEO) 3: AEK Larnaca (CYP) / Gent (BEL) 4: Luzern (SUI) / Espanyol (ESP) Unseeded 5: Universitatea Craiova (ROU) / AEK Athens (GRE) 6: Rijeka (CRO) / Aberdeen (SCO) 7: CSKA Sofia (BUL) / Zorya Luhansk (UKR) 8: Norrköping (SWE) / Hapoel Beer-Sheva (ISR) Quote
A llad insane Posted August 2, 2019 Report Posted August 2, 2019 Big ask to get past Rijeka again, here's hoping. Quote
KennyFuckinPowers Posted August 3, 2019 Report Posted August 3, 2019 Big ask to get past Rijeka again, here's hoping. Definitely a step up from the last 2 teams we've played there, however, any positive result away from home, a score draw even, and I think it'll be enough. Quote
tom_widdows Posted August 3, 2019 Report Posted August 3, 2019 They've moved to a temporary home while their stadium is being rebuilt Smaller capacity and not quite as picturesque as their old ground Quote
manc_don Posted August 3, 2019 Report Posted August 3, 2019 The away stand looks like they went all out ensuring supporter comfort caged in all sides. Quote
LA-Don Posted August 3, 2019 Report Posted August 3, 2019 Rijeka won 3-1 today, 3rd league in out of 3 but although early doors they’ve played the bottom 3 who have yet to gain a point. I think tomorrow will give us a real opinion on whether we are a legit team. Quote
Tyrant Posted August 5, 2019 Report Posted August 5, 2019 Anyone else booked up for this trip? I never went the last time but will be visiting another country that I've never been to before thanks to The Dons. Quote
BigAl Posted August 5, 2019 Report Posted August 5, 2019 Anyone else booked up for this trip? I never went the last time but will be visiting another country that I've never been to before thanks to The Dons. Afraid not mate but wish I was. Going on holiday in four weeks time, so time away from work at a premium right now. Have a great trip Tyrant Quote
manc_don Posted August 5, 2019 Report Posted August 5, 2019 Anyone else booked up for this trip? I never went the last time but will be visiting another country that I've never been to before thanks to The Dons. Look forward to the photo updates from the cage on the fezbook page then Quote
Tyrant Posted August 5, 2019 Report Posted August 5, 2019 I will provide said pictures if I'm the one carrying the DT torch! Anyone know what our allocation will be? I know the club have asked interested parties to email them for tickets but haven't heard any other info at this point. Quote
Ten Caat Posted August 5, 2019 Author Report Posted August 5, 2019 And it's Larnaca or Gent if we take care of Rijeka. Best we could have hoped for I think Quote
SeeBass Posted August 5, 2019 Report Posted August 5, 2019 Am I going mad or did we know who our potential opponents might be in Play-Off Round before losing to Real Sociedad, Kairat Almaty, NK Maribor and Apollon Limassol because one can't remember there ever being a time when we dreamed about possibility of beating those mentioned above and thinking right just X or Y to beat and we've made the Europa League Group Stages!!!! Quote

We definitely did for Limassol, because they were a pish team. We knew that all we had to do was buy a striker that wasn't Stockley or some other pish then we'd have made the group stages - thus making the transfer fee back. Instead of going for Moult for a few hundred thousand more, though, we waited until after we were papped out and decided on £400K bargain Stevie May. Quote
SeeBass Posted August 5, 2019 Report Posted August 5, 2019 Ricco, You've not actually answered my question!!!!! Quote
RicoS321 Posted August 5, 2019 Report Posted August 5, 2019 Ricco, You've not actually answered my question!!!!! Yes I did, I just threw in a bit of extra information too! The answer is yes, we knew who our opposition would have been had we beaten Limassol. Quote
DantheDon Posted August 6, 2019 Report Posted August 6, 2019 I remember that it would have been Bourdoux if we had beaten Kairat Almaty. Not an easy draw but we would have been in with a chance. Quote
Jute Posted August 6, 2019 Report Posted August 6, 2019 Thursdays game confirmed as being on Premier Sports. Quote
manc_don Posted August 8, 2019 Report Posted August 8, 2019 So folk feeling confident on this one? No way will we repeat the feat of the last time we played, but hopefully the team have plenty of confidence. Would probably take a 2-1 loss Quote
