[Blackhawk]

Tsiggaras is out and probably played his last game with PAOK.

We'll need to be careful as Lamia has close ties with AEK and I would not be surprised if we get provoked and be carded ahead of the game with AEK on Sunday.

We had hard time with Lamia earlier this season until we scored the first goal. For that reason I hope we score early and finish them as quick as possible.

PAOK fans will be present as Lamia gave us some tickets.

[pash]

Why do you say he's played his last game?

Lineup:

Κοτάρσκι, Ράφα, Μιχαηλίδης, Κεντζιόρα, Σάστρε, Σβαμπ, Οζντόεφ, Μάρκος Αντόνιο, Κωνσταντέλιας, Ντεσπόντοφ και Σαμάτα.

[Dutch Eagle]

Lamia lacks the help of their "ultras". They are - right so - pissed off as they were ordered to give up their usual places for the fans of Pana when they play them.

[Dutch Eagle]

Probably hot in Lamia. Players have a break to drink something.

[Dutch Eagle]

Konstantelias sleeping after a good run and assist of Marcos Antonio.

[Dutch Eagle]

Nice assist Sastre. Diving header of Ozdoyev just wilde.

1-0 In the dying seconds of the added time .....

You must be glad to work right now because the way we play is bad for your eyes and hart.

[Dutch Eagle]

And Samatta wasting a chance right after the break. As usual. 

[Blackhawk]

And here is when our dreams for winning a title (or even finishing top 3) end.

[Dutch Eagle]

Subs: Konstantelias, Samatta and Rafa Soares out. Taison, Brandon and Baba in. 

[Dutch Eagle]

Header Michailidis just over the crossbar. 

[Dutch Eagle]

Murg subbed in for Ozdoyev (and Jonny 5 minutes earlier for Sastre).

15 minutes left to score 2 goals ....

[Dutch Eagle]

Red card Lamia and 10 minutes added time. Don't where those 10 come from. 

[Dutch Eagle]

1-1 Schwab at 90+10'

[Blackhawk]

Too little, too late.

Season is over.

FT 1-1 therefore +1

The season is over. Now we just need to make sure we end up in 3rd place at least.

Considering we don't even have a proper striker, I would say this season did not go too badly up until this point. It could have been much worse. The only question is if we can secure European football next season. If we don't then it will be difficult to recruit good players.

I think this is a shame.  Does he really have nothing to add to the squad?  At the beginning of the season where no one knew what the heck was going on with transfers, he and Schwab played in the middle for the ECL qualifiers and the first batch of league games and he seemed to do well.  If it's the case that the club intends on replacing him with someone better than fair enough but it just seems like when he was needed, he did the job, and now he's been side lined.  Anyway, hard to say unless you're in the know but that's how it appears.

Good point Athens.  We haven't had a proper striker all season so all things considered we've done pretty darn good.  Hopefully we can secure 3rd spot but it won't be easy with the gavroi breathing down our necks.

I'm sorry but if we don't finish top 3 I am not sure how we can say the season didn't go poorly. Whose fault is it we didn't have a proper striker? It's not like someone was randomly taken from us and we had to make due. We failed in the cup, we had a good European run but fizzled out embarrassingly while OLY is the talk of the competition. And in the league, if we don't make Europe, that would be a horrendous failure which yes, we will not be able to recruit good players and next year would even be worse.
