Well this is a surprise! Pelkas, El Kaddouri, AND Biseswar in the lineup.

InPAOK predicting the below lineup. I'd be surprised if Pelkas starts over Biseswar, myself. --Rey-- --Matos--Varela--Crespo--Leovac-- --(Kace or Canas)--El Kaddouri-- --Campos--Pelkas--Mak-- --Prijovic--

For sure. Now to see if the team gets its act together.

AEK won 4-0 vs Larissa, Panathinaikos lost 1-0 vs Kerkyra. Panionios also was held to a draw vs Panaitolikos. Good results for us apart from AEK's win. We need to show up tomorrow, for sure.

Varela's boy scored two goals today in that Lukoil cup (42' and 48'):

Kace has played much better than the other two lately. Deserves to be there.

Here are the players: Ρέι , Πασχαλάκης , Λέοβατς , Δεληγιαννίδης , Μάτος , Βαρέλα , Κρέσπο , Μαλεζάς , Μαουρίτσιο , Κάνιας , Κάτσε , Πέλκας , Μπίσεσβαρ , Κάμπος , Λημνιός , Ελ Καντουρί , Μακ , Πρίγιοβιτς , Κουλούρης Kind of surprised that Mauricio was sent and not Zambrano.

Charisis got his third assist in as many matches today. Great to see that he's getting so much game time.

Jacobo is opening up a goalkeeping academy. Any guesses on how long it will take him to drop kick some kid's head?

Xanthi just did us a huge favor, they drew Oly 1-1 at home. Now for us to not squander that...

Looks like Savvidis has decided not to accept Michel's resignation. Very smart move.

Unrelated - apparently Melissanidis punched Kougias today. Elladastan.

Leveque has spent more time this season injured than available. Unreal with this guy. And we wanted to sell Leovac?

Have some faith! In related news, Mak trained individually today but is expected to return to normal training in a day or two. I also read that Zambrano is expected to make an appearance in this game, though I don't know if that means in a starting role.

Maybe they haven't ever paid rent ;)

It doesn't sound like any of these will result in real success. I don't suppose one of the Iraklis clubs owns Kaftanzoglio (or is it government-owned)? Since we may have to start renting it out, it might end up being the only profitable part of that damn club.

Lot of risk in starting a guy who's never played with most of these dudes...even if it is Smyrni

I'm sure we'll see the same team as before, barring any injuries or last-minute sales. Mak should be ready for this game, and Malezas/Deligiannidis/Canas/Crespo are all training normally. --Rey-- --Matos--Varela--Crespo--Leveque-- --Canas--Cimirot-- --Campos--Biseswar--Mak-- --Prijovic--

A few more countries have their windows close on Friday, so we're not in the clear yet. Might even see a few more loans on our part (Poungouras?).

I'm reading some real bad coverage of Iraklis...wonder how this will play out.

Looks like our boy scored another brace today, in a friendly against a third division side. Must feel like a dam breaking.

With Warda to cover, I wouldn't worry. But an untested (for us) El Khaddouri and Pelkas? Even for some like me, who likes Pelkas more than seemingly everyone else on this forum, that's still pretty rough.

Some of these articles are pretty ridiculous...such as saying they'll match his wages but also "offering" to take him off our hands for no fee. I find this very hard to believe.

Sounds like it's minor, I doubt he'll miss the next match.

Koulouris scored twice today and Limnios once in the U21's 5-1 win vs Moldova.
