GAMES:  7   WINS:  4    TIES:  2    LOSSES:  1

[Blackhawk]

BTW, Camara will not play in this game due to cards. Basically we are going into the game with one midfielder only (Ozdoev).

[pash]

Probably the worst absence we could have had. Hopefully Schwab will be up to it. Too bad Thymianis will never get game time, because this could be the time for a slightly younger guy to shine. Oh, well, I guess.

[Dutch Eagle]

Slavia sold Matěj Jurásek to Norwich City. So they have one option less on their midfield.

They sold their starting keeper earlier this transferwindow. 

[Dutch Eagle]

Toumba must be sold out with these prices for a ticket and considering what is at stake:

[Blackhawk]

One of Slavia's best players Lukas Provod got injured and will not be available for Thursday's game. Additionally a lot of Slavia players are fighting the flu, including the Greek NT player Zafiris.

[pash]

Maybe we can buy him for cheap now

[PAOKSYD]

If we win here we save the season and focus on next year. 

[PaokCT]

Agreed with Syd. A win, and I say we focus fully on the Europa League. The league is done. We are basically eliminated from title contention. Even 2nd place would be tough. We are playing for conference league qualification. So at that point, might as well focus on making a run to the next round in Europe & try and make the round of 16 or 8. 

[pash]

You are truly an inspiring leader

CHALOV WITH A HAT TRICK

[Blackhawk]

I'll just take one from him with a 1:0 result.

[Dutch Eagle]

0-1 but offside.

Schwab 1:0

Penalty and Schwab 1-0

[Dutch Eagle]

Ah re Taison.

[Dutch Eagle]

Crossbar Slavia.

Halftime 1:0

We need another goal. Slavia is very dangerous. They have young and quick players. Our problem is we don't have midfielder to put in when Schwab and Ozdoev get tired in the second half.

[PAOKSYD]

Maybe time we give thymnianis a go. 

He either sinks or swims 

[Dutch Eagle]

Despodov should have doen more with that chance......
