Think the best we'll get will be a couple of ties. One against a "glamour" team maybe before getting papped out. Just being realistic.
Indeed.

I reckon our best hope is to get favourable draws in the Europa League qualifying rounds 2 and 3, win them and get to the play-off phase. There does seem to be a couple of scenarios in these qualifying rounds where we could be drawn against teams we would have more than a decent chance. Even if we lose at the Europa League play-off stage we fall into the Europa Conference League with 6 league games up to Christmas.

If we lose at any of the Europa League qualifying rounds we fall into the Europa Conference League and would have to negotiate at some point the play-off which we have to win to progess. We are bound to hit a big side at this point and likely to be punted. It was Villa a couple of years ago.
