We beat Georgia at home.
Drew away to Denmark.
Both great results but the performances in 3 out the 4 games have been brutal.

I still can’t see us beating the Swiss or Denmark home or away.
We can’t score - simple.

That could be our last win in the group

Only way I can see us qualifying is if we beat Georgia away and draw the other 3. Then hope that there's a winner between Denmark and Switzerland in Copenhagen. We'd have to be extremely lucky to get anything from either game against the Swiss.

I'm still confident we'll finish in the the top 2.

I think we'll grind out a draw against the Swiss in both games, grind out another narrow win against the Georgians and will grind out another 0-0 with the Danes

Just though we needed to get the ball to end line more often with a better quality cross. We have plenty of height in the box but we failed to test the keeper in order to find out if he he was as dodgy as we may have suspected. 
time is the stuff that life is made of, don't waste it.

We have to beat Georgia away and there's no guarantee of that. I'd be hopefully we could sneak a win against the Swiss in one of the fixtures. 6 more points would probably be enough.

I Really don't get what is laughable about that.

We're a real sh*t and tough team to break down. The Swiss are a decent team yes, but they're hardly world beaters.

We need to keep an eye on Shaqiri and track the wingbacks which I think we're capable of.

This is a team who threw away a 3 goal lead at home to Denmark (again yes a better team then us).

A team who despite probably being the better team in the game couldn't break through a Portuguese defense (albeit again better then ourselves) without a very dodgy penalty.

In both game they were out done of either set plays or on the counter, two things we've shown we are capable of doing especially via set plays.

**DISCLAIMER**

I will also add I did get an elbow to the back of the head last night during the celebrations so I may have a slight concussion

The Swiss should beat us home and away. The Danish manager should be under huge pressure for not beating us and showing us far too much respect. We would have a better chance of beating them in Dublin.

If Mick can get us to the Euros he is a genius. We have no midfield, no wingers and, with the greatest of respect to McGoldrick, our best forward runs like he has just shat himself, with a top speed of slightly forwards. 

On our day, we can draw with anybody. But we need to beat somebody decent. Bias and optimism aside, can you really see that happening?

The good news is that we don't. If we beat Georgia and avoid defeat in the other three games then all we need is a winner in the Denmark - Switzerland game. I mean, it's more than likely that we will need to, but technically it's possible for us to qualify by beating no-one of note!

We won’t get three draws. I mean we could, but we would need even more luck out in Switzerland and hope that the Swiss show us the same respect the Danes did. I can’t see it. 

The Swiss will take a minimum of four points from us.

We need 7 points. With our goal difference, only in the unlikeliest of scenarios, less will be good enough unfortunately - and I know it comes down to head to head first but only likely scenario is we’ll at least match the Danes here on in and then they’ll just need a score draw to qualify. It would be a miracle if we didn’t concede to them if they needed goals

Never mind the Swiss, the Jamaican bobsleigh team would take 6 points from us

If we get 7 points, we will be finishing in the top 2. Even 5 points I'd be happy with, take it to the Denmark game
