Following the exclusion of Real Mallorca from the Europa Leage, their spot has gone to Villareal. Real Mallorca had a lower seeding than us, & Villareal have a higher one and as we were already the lowest seeded team in pot 2 of the Europa Leage group stage, this effectively means we're now demoted to pot 3.
The question is this. Is this a positive thing because we're more likely to get drawn against better teams with decent grounds & bigger capacities (more tickets) or a negative thing as it makes qualifying harder?
Personally I'm not too worried as I think our squad should be strong enough to qualify.
