Dont think anyone is taking us ‘ unseriously’. 9 games into a 38 game season in our first season back in big boys league, is still way to early to be pondering Europe . Of course it’s possible and would be fantastic. We have a long way to go and still have a thin squad in comparison to likes of Arsenal, City et al.
Too many on here equate being cautious with pessimism and betraying the cause, or you’re with us or against us. Not everything is binary

Aye it’s the squad depth that worries me. We have cover but if we have a few out in the same position then we might struggle. We need to strengthen in January. They’ve got the transfers right so far so I trust them to bring in quality.

We’re an exciting project who are doing well in the league so you’d think players would jump at the chance. And with it being a World Cup year there will be a few looking to move to cement a place in their national teams
 

I'd say we have an outside shot of the conference league but I wouldn't even entertain the idea until I see how we're getting on post-AFCON personally. A lot can change between now and then.
 
Even now when the thought of Europe is becoming less of a pipe dream , I still hold the belief that the Conference League would be a massive hindrance .
Happy to play in the other two competitions but fuck that micky mouse cup .

Roefs

Hume Mukiele Ballard Alderete Reinildo

Geertruida Xhaka

Traore Le Fee

Isidor

Subs: Patterson Cirkin O'Nien Alese Neil Mayenda Rigg Jones Mundle Brobbey

Still a solid team and Sadiki and Masuaku could be available if Congo lose to Cameroon. Would only be without Talbi, Diarra, Adingra.....anyone else?

Reinildo is going too.
 
If we are in and around where we are just now in January, I have no doubt we will strengthen further if the opportunity arises.

Wrong, winners don't walk. Try to win every league game and see where were at then. We've just beaten a team that recently beat PSG, so now I'd fancy our chances in that competition. It's definitely a possibility when you are sat in 2nd place 9 games in.

Nah. Not when there are 29 games to be played. Mid table would be immense.

Course it would! It's only Sunday morning so at least let my brain re-adjust to reality, by Wednesday I'll settle for 11th place. Now? NOOOO, still on cloud 9.
 
If we get 9 points next month out of 12 then definitely. The way we played yesterday showed that we're no joke. Reggie got everything right.
 
We'd need a far bigger squad to play in Europe , flogging the arse of Xhaka et al two games a week is a no no . We'd need to stick another £100m into the team. Would Europe pay for its self ?

I read the app wrong. Can still put out a strong team.

Mukiele Ballard Alderete Hume is a solid back four. Geertruida can play across the back line as well.
Got to wish Sadiki and Masuaku all the best with country but they would be useful to allow us to play the five.

That’s fine so long as we’ve got no injuries or suspensions. Definitely could be a very tricky period. Could easily go three to six without a win.

They all miss Brentford (a), Leeds (h) and city (a). Then some miss spurs (a), Brentford (a). Players in the final miss palace (h)

Tough run even with a full squad
