We got what we deserve. The team seem bereft of confidence and are no longer doing the basics like pressing the opposition. A fresh start is needed...all eyes on JD now.

Best case scenario for us IMO providing we get a new manager (unlikely)


Switzerland
Austria
Ireland
Estonia
Luxembourg 
Gibraltar

Even the likes of Estonia and Luxembourg would probably fancy their chances against us (remember Luxembourg taking 4 points off NI only a few years ago).

We used to be the team no-one wanted to play against. Now MON is turning us into the team everyone wants to play against.Ouch
The nation holds it's breath...YES, WE'RE THERE!!!

Third at best, even if we get Guardiola in. I can only presume that this is JD's reasoning for not paying him off.

Persuade Guardiola to ditch the Man City job for us? More chance of us all winning the lottery. LOL

Best case scenario imho for pot 1 team is England as prob only team that fill out Aviva which gives money to Fai to get rid of ONeill. They’ll also beat everyone else in the group + as only 2 hosts countries can be in 1 group we avoid Denmark.

No matter who we draw I don't think we'll qualify. No play-off route, so we have to take points off the top 2. Looks very, very unlikely with the downward progression we are on.

As much as I admire your dedication Coleman , I don't think Jack Daniels will solve our current situation.

And I thought he was a highly ambitious football man.

there is a playoff route if we fail to finish top two - we just have to hope a large majority of the Nations League Section B teams qualify from their Euro groups also (not wholly unlikely)

taking some points against Denmark might be the difference between a 1-legged tie at home or a 1-legged tie away to somewhere like Turkey, so hopefully Denmark rest some players now they have qualified

Clutching at straws here but if Wales and Denmark qualify automatically do we get the playoff spot from our group in the NL I know wales will get it if Denmark qualify automatically and they need it but does it fall to the relegated team I wonder .

so in League B

the teams who finish top are ranked by performance 1-4
the teams who finish 2nd are ranked by performance 5-8
and the bottom teams ranked 9-12

we need to beat Denmark so we finish as high up in that 9-12 band as possible to give us the best possible chance of achieving a playoff should we need it. We have to assume a lot of the other league B sides will qualify automatically given that they will be seeded 2nd in the qualifying

Forget it. The team have no confidence under that overpaid spoofer of a manager and can't even get a shot on target these days.

Are we not better being beaten in Denmark then? Then, if we get to a playoff, we will at least be beaten by a better class of opposition.
