30 is pretty average, it can hit up 40 at the peak of summer in Baku

factor 50 on, don't want wee gms getting his beak burnt

worried about this fixture, the pitch, the heat.

those who say its the same for both sides, I highly doubt it, qarabag are used to playing on such surfaces surely?

the joys of 3 qualifying rounds, but we've had enough luck in Europe the last few years.

Oh misread 1am

Yeah 30 is pretty normal even at that time, you have to have an air conditioner if you live in Azerbaijan, the temperature gets out of hand every summer

i always like to see 15 minutes of a game before i start getting carried away

the game against Starjnan conceding a goal was the best thing that couldve happened to us cause we looked content just to knock it about.

i reckon we'll go out and try and get an away goal early

we started a lot of european away games well last year

salzburg
legia
astra
maribor

No excuses aye. We had our home advantage last week. They have their's now. Elfsborg 2nd leg was played on a plastic pitch too.

Tough game tomorrow but I reckon not conceding an away goal will turn out to be crucial

The heat is not the same for both sides.

It takes up to two weeks to fully acclimatise to a country in order to perform to your maximum.

We need to play a clever game and let the ball do the work when we have it. This isn't a game for constant bursting runs from GMS, Forrest or Griffiths

dreading tomorrow


fearing the worst to be honest
the climate and atmosphere will all play a part in us looking like total amateurs for a good 20 mins or so

its not even like its been sunny here to remotely get us used to any kind of heat

it is what it is, but a what a horrible draw.

lets all chill out a bit, for a kick off if we cant knock this team out im glad we're not getting to the champions league.

BUT we're better than them, we need 1 goal you would think, lets all calm down

we've played in similar heat at this stage of the season before against better teams

I still maintain I seen nothing about them in the first leg to worry me that we wouldn't normally deal with.

It's whether we get complacent as we are prone to early in a match.

Me too if we win

they passed the ball very well but that wont work on a bumpy pitch, and they don't have the height to be a threat, though I think they brought a bit lad on at the end did they not.

like ghod says, if we cant win we don't deserve to be there.
