crashman Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 This now becomes our most important game. I felt Gordon's change of plan meant we lost 2 pts on Saturday because I genuinely believe we're a better team than them. Forget the 2 big homies for just now. We need 3 points against Georgia to claw back the advantage one or both (if a draw) Germany and Poland have over us as they play that night. Excited doesn't cover it but full of trepidation for this game, much more so than Saturday. Don't think a draw against Georgia will be enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radian_13 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 A win is a must then go in to the Germany game full of confidence and in the top two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackcountry jock Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 A draw wouldn't be a disaster but won't be far from one... If a draw does happen then I think we will have to rely on other results going our way and we will defiantly need a win against Poland not really bothered about picking anything up against the Germans but obviously anything we do pick up will be a massive bonus but I think we need at least 7 points from last 4 games to be certain of at least a play off place but I honestly believe we can get 9 points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleSC Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 This game is now as big as the Ireland game was. A win would be fantastic and I believe we are strong enough to get one. I also believe that Georgia are not as bad as the 3 points they are on, so we can't be complacent. I'm optimistic of a second spot in this tough group, but, at the back of my mind remembering that the best 3rd place of all the groups also automatically qualifies.

John_B81 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Poland won there, Ireland won there and Germany won there. If we are serious about qualification, only victory will do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robroysboy Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 A draw or a defeat in tiblisi would put the irish back in contention for 3rd. Agree its a must win. Anya to start, we missed his presence and speed in the first half against ireland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argentina78 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Just need to keep fingers crossed that we go there as near to full strength as possible. We've been very fortunate in this campaign so far, remember the last time we visited, we'd lost Brown and Hutton, yet they recovered for the Old Firm game the weekend after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParisInAKilt Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I wouldn't pay much attention to their ranking, they've been a bit unlucky that the teams above them have did what's expected of them and they can't win any ranking points against Gibraltar. In saying that 3 points are a must if we want to qualify top 2 or secure 3rd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calum83 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 3 from georgia maybe 3 from germany and at least a draw or better fae poland the last game well just give us the 3 points now and be done with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoonTheSlope Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 I dreamt last night that every time Scotland broke through on the attack the Georgian fans would run on the pitch. It was absolutely pelting down with rain and word got round that Ikechi Anya was saying to folk in the front row "just let them do it and Fifa will give us the points" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
