Can see us maybe and thats a big maybe winning one away game. If we have two away games I give us 0% chance. I would probably bet the house on us not getting through tbh

We don't have to win both games technically speaking

A lot of time to go before these games happen.
Injuries etc will impact us, as will the form of players like Brady, Clark and McCarthy.

There's more chance of us being at the Euros next summer than McCarthy making himself available for March's games

No matter the opposition, it will be complete non football again as we have something to hold onto. That 0-0 starting point in a one off semi final is what every team should aspire to hold onto, and by God we will do everything to hold onto that precious 0-0 scoreline. Into our shells we go again, and we'll probably end up losing by the odd goal in a forgetful display as the icing on the cake of a truly grim campaign.
I do find it funny the reaction to last nights performance being something to build on going forward, as if it's a given. The absolute denial some people are in about the current Irish setup is a sight to behold. |

Even on a purely statistical basis it is unlikely - winning two 50/50ish games back-to-back. When you then factor in that we would probably be one of the weaker sides of the grouping on paper and have to also win at least one game away from home then the probability falls even lower still.
I think most people accepted last night was our one real chance of qualifying.

I see what you’re getting at, but games are never 100:0. Even we can beat Germany on our day. To win, we need to be 55:45. Even statistically speaking, I’d be delighted with two 51:49 matches in our favour. Which I think we are capable of.

Given that Wales spanked us not so long ago, I would really like to avoid them. I dont rate them in the slightest, but it will essentially be a form of grudge derby. They also feel they will 'owe' us one.
We would have nothing to fear in Slovakia. Yes, being away will be tough. Bosnia at home would be a delight. Prefer to avoid the North for obvious reasons. Unfortunately we might end up reading to much into our performance from last night. Denmark played very much like a team who lost two of their better players, and who knew a draw would do them.

Wouldn’t judge the nations league game against Wales - MON had lost the dressing room at that stage. If we played Wales it would be 1-0 either way, 1-1 or 0-0. They’re very poor at the back at the moment.

We had close to a 50/50 chance last night to qualify (or factoring in a draw maybe a 35%-40% chance). We now need to go on the road and get a win and then face Bosnia or the North in what will be a difficult game. Odds probably around 20% chance.

Our chance has gone I think now
Home advantage is massive. We struggle to beat anyone bar minnows, and all of our possible opponents are of a reasonable enough standard. Don't give us much hope now of getting past two such teams. Think it would take at least one penalty shoot out win. |

Have to be positive, we're capable of beating all the teams we could meet in the Play Offs.

No hope.
Need to rebuild from now. We may be better off planning for the long term particularly in midfield and attack. Defensively we're in good shape. Play molumby, connolly and cullen as first choice. They still may not be as experienced as whelan and Hendrick but they will improve where as whelan, hendrick, mcclean are only going to get worse.

Depends on who we get and if we are home in final or not.
If this moving to A works out, then potentially we would have Bulgaria at home in semi and Iceland at home in final . Iceland we know are tough but at home it’s at least a 50/50 chance
