Hendricks Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 If we b beat Georgia Poland and Gibraltar!!! Do we automatically qualify!!!? If Poland lose in Germany then yes the 3 wins above would see us automatically qualify. Huge next set of fixtures with us needing a win in Georgia and hoping the Germans beat Poland in Berlin.

Toepoke Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I would say 20 points will be enough no matter how we get them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironbrew Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 No we don`t. If we win 3 but lose to Germany we`d have 20 points and Germany and Poland could have 22 and 20 respectively so a draw between them would leave us third which would probably mean playoffs (know we were best 3rd till Russia got points back after possible sanction?). At the end of September we`ll probably be 4th but still in with a chance of being 1st so it`s going to be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Germany and Poland won't play out a deliberate draw though - its the next set of fixtures on the same night we are in Georgia. I fully expect Germany to avenge their defeat in Warsaw. The Faroes beating Greece today was bad news for our chances of being the best 3rd placed team as Greece now trail the Faroes by 4 pts and Hungary have dropped points to the Greeks but not the Faroes. That group maybe the favorites right now given points v the Faroes will count unless Greece get their shit together very quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendricks Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Georgia away worries me more than Germany & Poland games to be honest. It is the type of banana skin game we have struggled with. However in addition to being a different setup and one that has performed well in 3 difficult away games a couple of things this time should hopefully work in our favor. Firstly it is game one of a double header whereas last time we had played on the Saturday in a huge game against the Ukraine at Hampden. Secondly we know that Germany and Poland also play that night and will expect Germany to avenge their defeat in Warsaw. If that happens a win in Georgia for us would then leave everything in our own hands. No doubt we won't make it easy but what a great opportunity we have made for ourselves and frankly we don't deserve to qualify at least automatically if we can't win in Georgia.

JECK Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 There's no way that Georgia side is as good as its 07 side, not that they were spectacular back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caledonian Craig Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 There's no way that Georgia side is as good as its 07 side, not that they were spectacular back then. And I would say we have improved a bit on that 2007 side plus have a more positive manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JECK Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Definitely. We must win over there , no excuses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macy37 Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 It'll be a hugely tough match for us. My worry is we don't have a huge amount of goals in us so it's crucial our defending is good but I'm not overly confident of that being the case!

fishcumnock Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Poland were only 1-0 @87mins ,that looks decent. We would be shitting oorselfs at 1-0 with mins to go. Georgia are improving ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
