What's our chances of going through?

Molde have a better coefficient and got out of the group stage in 15-16 (beating Celtic home and away). They're also midway through their season so will have the edge on match fitness. I reckon they'll be considerably stronger and our European adventure may well end against them.

I thought Asteras would batter us though so I could be wrong. :wink:

Asteras Tripolis are Johnny-come-lately new money fools.

Our opponents next week are Molde Old Dough.

Also, they're Scandinavian and 60% of their name is the same as "Malmo" which is already making me worried.

Beautiful plumage, though.

We’ve got a chance, they are just behind Rosenborg in the league. Think it will be a British type game, and no Greek theatrics

Surely we will have some new signings to freshen up squad by this game.

If I am being brutally honest with myself, I thought we rode our luck a wee bit too much tonight, we shouldn't be conceding goals and put under the cosh from 10 men.

I really think that Molde will be out last euro games this season. Sorry for the negativity (but I would love nothing more than to be wrong)

I expect a harder game than tonight but still got a chance.

They will be no match for the mighty hibees.

Please please please sign some players and give us a real chance

I think they’ll be another step up.

We’ll be better by then as well though.

currently 3rd in their league after 16 games. Only 4 points behind Rosenberg so probably a similar standard to them. Looks like it'll be a tough fixture.

No chance they’ll be as good as the Greeks.

I think we’ve been really lucky with the draw and fancy our chances highly.

I’m not so sure. That Greek side were a very decent side when they got going.

It’s also worth remembering we’ll probably strengthen between now and then. The young Man City winger and/or another forward would have been a god send tonight.

Tam McManus did say he’d fancy hibs to beat Rosenberg. If Tam McManus says it it’s bound to be true.

I think Tam called this one right.

That Greek team were a very decent side. Thing is, we are too.

We've got nothing to fear going into these games and thankfully Lennon sees it that way too.

Loving it.

Loving it.For me anything from now on is a bonus...but am loving the adventure...all aboard the Hibee Rollercoaster once again

Just reading on Twitter there that Molde have one start player that has been linked with some big clubs, including Man United......

......However it looks like red bull Salzburg are about to sign him and he won’t be available for the game next week.

It will be a tough tie than tonight’s game against Asteras. However if we sign a couple of new players and play to our very best then I’d say we have a chance.

I wasn’t that impressed with Rosenberg. So I’m thinking we have a good chance of progressing to the final play off games . “ We’re on our way “ 🇳🇬

Asteras were poor middle to front. The lad that got sent off was pretty hopeless, if they’d started the young boy along side him we might have been in trouble

That's the thing that worries me most. Has to be an advantage surely. Could see the Greek's tire towards the end of the first leg.

That might have been an issue three weeks ago but not now.

The players we have should be as fit as they're ever going to be, as the season starts on Sunday.

Ok, we've not got all of our signings in yet, but I don't feel underprepared and likely to get caught cold in this tie.

3rd in their league with the best home record but don’t seem to travel well. A winnable tie imo but won’t be easy. Really need to take a lead in to the 2nd leg.

When I saw a back four announced of Gray, Hanlon, Mcgregor and Stevenson I felt confident. Absolutely solid, Lewis snapped his knee all on his own ffs, and still carried on.
We'll be fine against these Norwegian pansies! 😁 👍 🇳🇬

Molde probably won't be much better ability wise than our Greek chums but they will not get players sent off or lose the plot.
However, if we can avoid making massive mistakes such as we made for both the 1st goal last week and tonight's goal we will be in with a good chance of progressing.
The addition of McLaren would help greatly.
