Are we really so far out of it?   We've played England twice; Slovakia and Slovenia still to play them.  We're 4 and 3 behind.  We need wins against them, sure, but it's hardly Mission Impossible.  

A win in Lithuania next game and it's game on I say.

I'd agree.

And we've still to play them both.  We've had three good results, two bad and one predictable defeat at Wembley.   All to play for.

You can see the fixtures for your yourself. If we beat Lithuania and Malta we, in competitive games would be on our best form for years and years. If we then won our second last game then it could a typical win or bust final game. That's not how I wanted or predicted the group to go but after a bad start I could see the SFA offering Strachan another two years and despite some recent bad form we could end up on the best since 96 and we may be in agreement with them. We never do it the easy or even predictable way.

In effect we have still can qualify for the play offs but it will take a lot of cards falling good for us. A given is we need to win all our remaining games. There are a few  other groups where the worst place second team can end up. Could do with ROI and Wales losing today.

I admire your optimism Eddard, so I will indeed be hoping for a Welsh and Irish loss today, but I feel we're clutching at straws here.

As much as I live in hope, the likelihood of us winning our next 4 games is very low.

We finished 4th in the last group so to finish higher would be some kind of progress

I think we finished fourth in a harder group.  Slovenia and Slovakia are not as good as Ireland or Poland, and Germany are certainly better than England.  England are no great team, not a top tier team - they won't be bothering the latter stages of the world cup.  There is little progress, but that is not down to strachan, we simply don't have good enough players.

I used to do stuff like this to try to convince myself that we still had a chance in other qualifying groups. You look for other results which might go in our favour. But you know we are in deep trouble when you have start to look for good results in other groups.:lol:

We just won't win 4 games in a row. Not with this squad. 

I could see us winning the next 3 then "bottle it" in the last game by missing a penalty in the last minute. It's the Scotland way.:lol:

Same here. If we get to the game knowing a win will see us second we will have done wonders.

I just hope we win in Lithuania. We will beat Malta at home and go into the last 2 games knowing if we win we have a chance.
