North Leeds Fox Posted 2 October 2020 Share Posted 2 October 2020 Tough but winnable group. The long trip to Ukraine won't help. Hopefully qualified before we have to do that one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKCJ Posted 2 October 2020 Share Posted 2 October 2020 8 hour flight to Zorya but should be able to send the rezzies and still be absolutely fine; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosbehFox Posted 2 October 2020 Share Posted 2 October 2020 Zorya played in Lviv during their last group stage European stages - which is about as West as you can get in Ukraine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BraunstoneFox23 Posted 2 October 2020 Share Posted 2 October 2020 Love that draw, two class destinations and a strange Ukrainian team. Proper Europa League; hope we smash them all. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought I read they play in Western Ukraine. Checking the map I obviously didn't. Edited 2 October 2020 by Rain King Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innovindil Posted 2 October 2020 Share Posted 2 October 2020 Couldn't have asked for much easier than that. I'd back our second 11 against all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCCFox96 Posted 2 October 2020 Share Posted 2 October 2020 Very content with that group. One of the more winnable teams from Pot 1, avoiding some of the bigger powerhouses from Germany, Spain and Italy. AEK Athens will be a scrap but equally very winnable. Zoyra should be meat and drink providing we don't crash and burn in the outer reaches of Eastern Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloudFox Posted 2 October 2020 Share Posted 2 October 2020 Happy with that. A nice mix and a winnable group if we take it seriously. Shame about the long trip to Zorya, but we narrowly missed Lille, so I'll take that!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rachhere Posted 2 October 2020 Share Posted 2 October 2020 I know there's quite a few Leicester fans living in Athens - hope they manage to get to the match. Not a bad draw on the whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For everyone complaining about the long trip to Ukraine, it takes longer to fly to Athens Wikipedia reckons they play their games in Zaporizhia, which is out east. Having said that, flight will only be 4 hours or a bit less, it's not like going to somewhere like Qarabag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
