At just over the half-way stage int he league, we hold a 9 point lead over Spartak
Moscow and to be honest, after 15 wins with an injury ravaged side, I just can't
see us dropping that many points; especially considering we've a 3 months break
for everyone to get well rested and come back to full fitness during mid-season.

While our elimination comes as a disappointment, there is still plenty to play for as out
final games against FC Kobenhavan is a winner-takes-all affair. We do have the advantage
having beat them away but with only a 1 goal margin, they could move above us in the
head-to-head rankings with a 2 goal winning margin. We have home advantage and a draw
will be enough to see us through to the Knock-out Rounds of the Europa League.
