Our first away game vs them in 20 years.

Also just realized our boy Vrakas was loaned there last month, from Atromitos.

[Blackhawk]

Konstantelias and Ozdoev to miss the game due to cards along with all the injured players.

[pash]

Second worst team in the league. If there's any time to rest 'em, now's it.

[Dutch Eagle]

And rest maybe the lads with 2 yellows. As a yellow this MD means a suspension in the play-offs. And no third card means that all cards are cleared. 

[pash]

Lucescu was not at training today because he was hit with (I assume) the same virus that has wreaked havoc with our other players

[Blackhawk]

Hope no players caught the bug ahead of Sunday's game. After Sunday we won't play again until March 30.

[Dutch Eagle]

Lucescu and Schwab were present today for practice.

[Blackhawk]

According to today's reports, Zivkovic's injury is no serious, but he might skip this game anyway.

Lineup I would like to see:

-------------- Pavlenka --------------
Saster - Wieteska - Michailidis -Baba
------ Camara --------- Pena -------
Despodov ---- Pelkas ---- Shoretire
------------- Chalov -----------------

But I am pretty sure, Samatta, Taison and Meite will get a start.

[PaokCT]

New RB Saster!

nikh kai 3 bathmous

[pash]

I don't understand the breathless following of Zivkovic's injury in light of this game. Athens Kallithea is a terrible team. Put our B team on and we'll still win by three.

[Dutch Eagle]

Samatta hurt his knee, Kotarski has the flu, Ozdoyev and Konstantelias suspended, Andrija and Lovren already out are not in the squad. 

Those who are:

Παβλένκα, Τσιφτσής, Μπαλωμένος, Βιεϊρίνια, Σάστρε, Κεντζιόρα, Βιετέσκα, Μιχαηλίδης, Θυμιάνης, Γκόμεζ, Μπάμπα, Σβαμπ, Μεϊτέ, Καμαρά, Πένια, Πέλκας, Τάισον, Σορετίρε, Ντεσπόντοφ, Μπράντον, Τσάλοφ.

[pash]

Oh no, so our better striker might be forced to play how sad 😞 😞 😞 😞 😞

[pash]

So much for that! Silly me. But we do now see Meite/Camara starting, for the first time. I still think we'll score five.

I noticed that last week. 

And 1-0 Despodov!!!

[Dutch Eagle]

And 1-1.

[pash]

WELL THIS ISN'T GOING WELL!

-edit- their second goal is disallowed due to a foul on Taison, thank god

[PaokCT]

Lol we choked a chance to get back into the 2nd place race. Honestly I’d be surprised if we get a win in the playoffs

[Dutch Eagle]

And now 2-1 for them in 90'.

Some Schmuck said our B-team would win by three. 

[pash]

Whoever that was, should get whipped!

[Dutch Eagle]

FT 2-1. 

I am with @PaokCT

[Blackhawk]

Did not watch the game and I am glad I didn't. Time to clean up the house starting now and going to the playoffs.
