A 2-1 home victory over Sporting Charleroi which moved them a few spots up the table to fifth. Benavente and Mbokani got the goals as they came from behind to win.
We are capable of overcoming this team, but I bet they will be thinking the same.We’ll ruin them. Total victory in both H & A.
I'm exercising no caution either, we will qualify with ease.In 23 games they’ve only scored 36 goals and conceded 32. They can absolutely be gotten at.
I’m very confident of getting through this round with a bit to spare.
That’s who Jack Hendry (Celtic flop) plays for. Can’t say I’m too worried about Antwerp, think we’ll get through this tie comfortably.Lost 2-1 at home to Oostende yesterday.
We gubbed them 4-0 and it could have been more. Their defence was shocking.Bit off topic here, I just noticed Willem II are 2nd bottom of the Dutch league. They looked a handful when we played them a few months ago. Very surprised to see they are struggling.
Yip, he was booked yesterday. Read a headline today saying they are interested in keeping him permanently.That’s who Jack Hendry (Celtic flop) plays for. Can’t say I’m too worried about Antwerp, think we’ll get through this tie comfortably.
I think we’ll absolutely scud them.
That Mechelen team really aren’t up to much and they were apparently very convincing today.
Are you thinking of Standard Liege?Bit off topic here, I just noticed Willem II are 2nd bottom of the Dutch league. They looked a handful when we played them a few months ago. Very surprised to see they are struggling.

The over hyping of them on here was genuinely the most embarrassing thing I’ve seen on this forum.Pretty sure they only got in to the qualifiers through being in the Dutch cup final.
Any comfortable win for us away from home in Europe is a good result but they're pretty pish really.
I thought we would beat them at the time, but it was a potential banana skin game, especially for 3rd round unseeded opposition.The over hyping of them on here was genuinely the most embarrassing thing I’ve seen on this forum.
It was bizarre, I think I said 3-0 In the prediction thread & got the “Dutch side, can’t be underestimated, must exert caution” etc etc
Folk were going on as if they were the second coming of Ajax 95, when in reality they are a lower end Dutch club.
17/18 they stayed up by 7 points, 18/19 they stayed up by 10 points & 19/20 the league got stopped.
Of course 4-0 is a fantastic score, but we should be expecting to beat teams like that by a few goals given how good we are.I thought we would beat them at the time, but it was a potential banana skin game, especially for 3rd round unseeded opposition.
4-0 was a fantastic score, it did flatter us a little though. They did have a couple of good chances themselves. We played the game in 2nd gear for the majority of it.
I was a wee bit surprised to see them 2nd bottom after 18 games. They weren't brilliant, but rated them around mid table in the Dutch league. They unsurprisingly have shipped a good number of goals. In fact, the best result they have had all season was drawing with Ajax (who they play this week again).
Eh?A
Are you thinking of Standard Liege?

My old man lives in Antwerp and has done for 38 years. He says they are not anywhere near us technically but that they are in his words, dirty bustards who will target any playmakers for a tough time. This will be a tough one.No we won’t they are a good well structured physically equipped team this tie will be close imo
I don’t think you swat anyone aside at this stage in the competition.Hope we swat them aside while making them look like a 3rd rate European side like we always do.
Exactly this. Sure we may get a good result but we will be made to work for it. There will be no dross left at this stage and although I don't really follow Belgian football, I am sure they will be a decent side. As others have said, this is a favourable draw for us but still a difficult one. Having said that I, will be shocked and disappointed if we don't go through.I don’t think you swat anyone aside at this stage in the competition.
We won’t. Two very hard games ahead.We’ll ruin them. Total victory in both H & A.
