Vrancken has given an update on Braga’s situation with plenty of speculation around his future.
For now, it sounds like Braga is staying at Hearts and remains fully committed to the club.
Hopefully we can keep hold of him because losing another key player would be a big blow.
With Benfica coming up, having Braga around is definitely a huge positive.

Now that the dust has settled on Lisbon, being 5 goals down obviously means the Europa League run is done and dusted. it stings losing 6-1 but at the end of the day Conference League was always our realistic ceiling and where we can actually win games and get points on the board. My question for next thursday is do we play a full strength team at home just for pride, or do we rest a few key players for the league fixture on the weekend? personally I think we should give Renaud a full 90 mins up front given he was the only one who actually showed a bit of fight and got the goal. No point risking guys getting injured or worn out trying to chase a impossible 5 goal comeback, but at the same time we can't just let Benfica walk all over us on our own pitch again. How's everyone feeling about ticket turnout and what squad you wanting to see starting?

Hearts begin their Champions League qualifying campaign with a tough trip to Sturm Graz, in what feels like the first real test of Wouter Vrancken's new-look squad. Ryan McGowan believes the club has every reason to be quietly confident and says European football will be central to Tony Bloom's long-term vision. A positive result in Austria would put Hearts in a strong position ahead of the return leg at Tynecastle.

Sturm Graz will be without Amady Camara for both legs after he picked up a thigh injury, so it's one less attacking threat for Hearts to prepare for.

That said, they're still the Austrian champions and this was never going to be an easy tie. Does Camara's absence change your expectations at all, or is this still a genuine 50-50 contest?

Been sitting around in Birmingham for a while now and it’s completely dead. Usually it’s at least a bit busier than this. Just wondering if everyone else is having a quiet day too, or if the app’s acting up again somehow. Trying to work out whether it’s worth sticking it out or calling it a day.

I have an elderly relative coming to stay with me in the Earlsdon area after being away for many years, and they are desperate to get their hands on a proper Coventry Godcake. I would love to track some down for them, so could you let me know which local bakeries or shops still make them fresh? Also, since they haven’t been back in ages, are there any other classic local dishes or spots around Earlsdon or the city centre that you’d recommend for a real taste of home? I want to make sure they get a proper welcome back to the city!

I've been reading a bit about the tribunal involving thousands of couriers pushing for worker status and guaranteed minimum wage/holiday pay. Where does everyone stand on it honestly? Would you actually want worker status, or do you think it would end up ruining the flexibility that makes delivery apps workable in the first place? I wanted to hear different opinions from drivers doing this regularly.

Just saw that Just Eat is testing a new feature where customers can order food directly inside a WhatsApp chat using an AI bot. It's launching in Spain and the Netherlands first before coming to the UK. On one hand, it might bring in way more orders for us if it makes buying food too easy. On the other hand, I can already see the delivery notes turning into an absolute mess if people are just texting a bot casually. How do you think this will affect our shifts when it rolls out here?
