If the job is just about done by half-time, he has five subs to play with in the second half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a horrible first 15 minutes or so we have been the better team here and could have scored a few. Ramirez certainly should have had a couple and has been pretty wasteful so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DantheDon Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Didn't realise it was on so early so only tuned in at half time. Didn't seem a great performance from there, but we are through so that's what matters. I think they are a decent side and obviously a bit fitter then us at the moment as well. How Ojo missed that chance I'm not sure, thankfully it doesn't matter. Looking like we will be facing Breidablik next round as they are 3-1 up on aggregate at half time.

I think he's vastly improved, which I may regret saying. Well that was an all round average display in difficult conditions on a plastic pitch, but they did well to get the aggregate win all things considered. Ojo and Ramirez were poor tonight, and the lack of striker sub becomes an issue. Things move through JET in a way that they don't at all through Jenks, who I thought was poor. That area of the pitch becomes a concern outwith the starting 11 and I'm surprised that McGinn wasn't given some minutes tonight as I felt that he could have added a bit of composure where Hedges was a little bit 100mph. Brown and Ferguson excellent in midfield again, and I think we'll see Gallagher step in for McRorie (unfortunately I think it might be at the expense of Ramsay with McRorie at right back). Hayes will struggle to keep his position ahead of McKenzie who did well when he came on. We're through though which is fantastic and the Icelandic team should be of similar quality to Hacken. I'm still unsure as to how we'll look against SPFL opposition, so Sunday will be intriguing. First thoughts are still that we're lacking in depth up front, and hopefully the new recruitment guy has downloaded the files from his Burnley PC and got a few gems to share. Someone fast to stretch the game in the second half would have been ideal, with Ramirez putting in a tiring shift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, draw for the play-off round is on Monday and we'll be unseeded. We could land someone like Roma or Tottenham. Looking through all the current seeds I don't think there's a single tie where you could consider us favourites, but there's some preferable ties to others. I tend to think Qarabag or AEK Athens might be the ones we want based on them not being too convincing in qualifying. In fact, as I'm writing this, AEK Athens are about to get knocked out unless they can find a late goal. Feyenoord too are about to be taken to extra-time so they could fall. Maybe a case of some big names there but not many of them firing on all cylinders yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sancho_panza Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Our best hope is probably to draw one of the lesser seeds and then that side to get knocked out before we play them. That's basically what's happened to us with Breidablik who were the second lowest ranked side in the draw in this round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DantheDon Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I thought that the point of this tournament was to cut down on qualifying rounds. Doesn't seem to have made much difference. And how is it that St Johnstone are guaranteed european football till xmas if there is still two qualifying rounds to play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UEFA moved the goalposts several times before and after they won the scottish cup. At one point they were meant to drop straight into the conference group stages if they lost their europa league playoff but some diddy team from Perth didnt float the boat of the bigwigs so they threw in an extra hurdle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc_don Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Only caught the second half but thought the red card was a life line. They were very much in the ascendancy and looked like they had more goals in them. As others have said though, we’re through to face the Icelandic's. Anyone know anything about them? Believe they’re fourth in their respective league and I know some teams from there give others a good game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Their best player appears to be Thomas Mikkelsen who had some unremarkable spells at Ross County and Dundee Utd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrshire_don74 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Hayes wont do at LB, Mcrorie hopeless at CB , Hedges anonymous, we lost a lot if impetus when JET went off, need a back up striker, Mckenzie and Ramsay look very good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
