So the Europa draw, who do we fancy in that, really hoping we get Dundalk if possible.

Anyone easy enough for the kids to beat but good enough to give them a test.

That would be nice for dundalk.
Plus not much travelling involved.

Minimal travel should be the main priority. I would love Dundalk, so that I could possibly go to that match in Dublin.

Standard Liege, AZ Alkmaar or St Etienne from Pot 2, Gent, Mainz or Feyenoord from Pot 3 and Dundalk or Nice from Pot 4.
Decent teams who we shouldn't underestimate but still should beat. None are too far to travel which in the Europa league is far more important than who the opposition is. Treking back from easten europe in the early hours of Friday morning to then play again on Sunday can have a serious knock on effect to league form. So I'd rather play teams from France, Holland, Belgium ect. Plus it will be far easier to properly scout those teams therefore we are likely to be better prepared.
My ideal group would probably be St Etienne, Gent and Dundalk.
