The Fun Factory Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Quite a tough start, I would say it is the hardest 2 fixtures in the first 3 games. Perhaps Emery will go out strong like we did for the Hibs first leg and then if we can rotate towards the end. But we need to do the business first. Just hope Villa don't rinse us with the ticket prices. That is me being optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be massively wide of the mark but Alkmaar can't be far Hibs standard. Appreciate away trips will be hard but we should wipe the floor with our home fixtures. Dutch league must surely be stronger than Scotland? The country is 3 times more populated than that lot north of the Hadrian's wall. Probably the best league outside of the big 5 in europe.

Not disagreeing about the quality of the league in general but I'd have thought the big 3 Portuguese teams are the best outside of the big 5 leagues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the dutch league has more depth to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
