Yes no doubt that one player would of had us beating Austria and Serbia at home playing a brand of football that was was exciting to watch. We probably would have made the 1/4 finals of the World Cup too. Anyway back to reality. I just don’t see us beating Switzerland or Denmark home or away. We’ll get some good draws tho. The main aim is to build some confidence and team spirit ahead of the play offs which will be our likely route to the Euro’s. |

Ah now come on . losing our captain at a crucial time of a game and campaign to a horrific injury and you are saying that wouldn't have any psychological impact on the team?

I doubt the players or managers would agree.

It's not really given how defensive we played in both games (especially in Aarhus) and Denmark in truth lacked any real appetite during that group stage. Beating Wales at home set them up to win the group more or less from the get-go. They seemed content to plod along and just keep the board ticking over points wise then. Denmark are also more than capable of finishing ahead of Switzerland imo, we will finish 3rd at best. I wouldn't give us a prayer of finishing above either of those sides.

Why not bar the debacle of that Playoff we had three 0-0's with them, yes I know we rode our luck but still got three draws from four games. If you look back at their results over the last 2 qualifying campaigns they dropped points to similar teams of Georgia's level (i.e. Pot 4 even pot 5 teams) Euro 2016 qualifiers Drew 1-1 v Albania away Drew 0-0 v Armenia Away Drew 0-0 v Albania home WC 2018 Lost 0-1 v Montenegro home I'm not saying it will happen but judging from those results they struggle against those level teams

Tbh the following finish wouldn't surprise me (don't mind the goal difference part)

It would absolutely astound me! You think Denmark will only get six points from six games and that we will go the campaign unbeaten without a midfield or a forward? |

Best case scenario
*The above is based on: - Denmark and Switzerland drawing both games against each other - Somehow pulling off a miracle in our final game and beating Denmark 1-0 to leapfrog them

The most shocking thing about those fixtures is that wacky American backwards date format thing they do. |

That table pretty much backs up my original point, A lot of our fanbase simply cannot grasp how poor we actually are! It's like if anyone had the nerve to suggest that we will have a bad campaign or have some dreadful results they wouldn't be deemed as "real fans" Your post smacks of just believing for the sake of it and not actually factoring in that we haven't shown any reasonable form over the past 2 years to suggest we could go unbeaten, out score Denmark over a campaign etc with arguably the weakest pool of players we've had for decades.

I'll point out I didn't actually in put the scores I just did the random button and that came out hence why I said ignore the goal difference. I believe the only games we won were against Gibraltar home and away and Georgia at home which is highly believable. I also think it's highly believable we could end up being stubborn bastards to play against and not lose to Denmark and Swiss in the campaign. And it's highly believable given the evidence I provided of their last two campaigns that the Danes could drop points to the likes of Georgia and ourselves and be beaten by Swiss home and away. I'm not saying it will happen I'm just saying it's possible
