Ivic still on thin ice. He's going to have to win all remaining games through those makeup rounds to really show Savvidis that he can be trusted, I think...otherwise I wouldn't be surprised if he's sacked the next time he loses.

[Blackhawk]

I think he is safe as long as we are progressing in the cup and are on road to make the playoffs.

I think the team has turned the tide, and will be getting results. The upcoming games are:

at Kerkyra
at Levadeiakos
PAS Giannina
at Larisa
Levadeiakos
PAS Giannina
at Agrinio
Tripoli
at Xanthi

These are all games prior to the first Schalke match. We will need to get as many points as possible during this stretch of games.

On Saturday, if we are serious and play to our potetntial, the most likely scenario is a win for PAOK.

Personally out of those 9 games, anything less that 24 points is a FAIL>

The optimist in me says we'll get at least 27 points, if not 30.

[pash]

Hopefully you guys are right. I see a few teams there that could snipe a few points off of us.

The realist in me says we'll get 18 points. ;)

According to inPAOK, Ivic is debating between using Pelkas and Biseswar, with the below lineup:

 

                  --Glykos--

--Matos-Varela--Crespo--Leovac--

--Canas--     ?????       --Cimirot--

   --Campos--Klaus--Rodrigues

 

Shakhov on the bench, similar to his role vs Platanias. I think that either player would be fine, as it seems Biseswar is now capable of playing a full 90 minutes (as he showed in our last league game).

 

I should note that Glykos was just in Germany seeking some help from a chiropractor due to his hip injury from a few weeks ago. Same guy that apparently helped Leovac.

The mathematician in me is still trying to figure how to get 30 points in 9 games, lol.

Really ?!?!

[pash]

Well he did. Even though I thought he'd pass out.

[Bananas]

Ha ha, fair enough.  I hope he can really gain some fitness in the 2nd half of the season and show us what he's fully capable of.

Agree Pash....Even if he makes it to the end of the year and wins the playoffs, i'd still replace him. We need someone to really get into the players heads and toughen them mentally. If we get that and a few quality transfers then we're a serious threat, otherwise its more circus time ahead.

Giannina, Larisa, Agrinio, Xanthi are all difficult away games

[BostonThanatos]

...but they shouldn't be.  That's my point.

Haven't you heard? As part of Savvidis becoming the official sponsor of the league they will award us a 3-points as a bonus.

[Blackhawk]

20 players picked for the game, including Deligiannidis for the first time this season:

Γλύκος, Μπρκιτς, Λέοβατς, Δεληγιαννίδης, Μάτος, Κίτσιου, Μαλεζάς, Βαρέλα, Κρέσπο, Κάνιας, Σάκχοφ, Τσίμιροτ, Πέλκας, Μπίσεσβαρ, Μυστακίδης, Κάμπος, Ροντρίγκες, Αθανασιάδης, Κουλούρης, Περέιρα

I think pash's lineup is what Ivic will go with, and he will probably start Pelkas instead of Biseswar.

[pash]

Biseswar gets the start, otherwise unchanged

[Dutch Eagle]

This quick lead is just what we need. Even if it is an owngoal.
