So much depends on the selections for the centre half positions.

Midfield has been a problem but its good players playing badly, I expect them to improve with the stakes so high the next day.


I don't go along with the "hard to see where the goals will come from" statements. We've 6 goals in this campaign. One each from two of our strikers, one from a midfielder, one from a right back, two from a winger. Austria have been leaking goals. I think we'll get a couple over there. Home advantage for them added to our brittle mentality and poor form and seeming willingness to settle for a draw, means I'm going for a 2-2. A victory is not out of the equation but can't predict it with any confidence.

Don't see any reason why we can't come away from this one with at least a point.

On one hand the pressure is on them going into the game so I'd be happy with a draw, I can see us losing and I think we really need to win this one actually. The basis for that being that even after we play Austria they will have the advantage of having to play one less 'big' game that us, granted they lost and we didn't but that could easily change. 

I'd hope for us to go out looking for the three points, even if we only get 1. I fear we will go from the start trying to hang on for a draw and they might work against us.

You seen our defence the last 3 games? 

We need to seriously tighten up or we'll be punished.

tough one to call, think we might lose 2-1 or maybe scrape a 1-1.

Don't really get this. So if the fixtures had worked out like we'd lost 5-0 against serbia in our first game, then 6-0 against wales second game and Austria had played Georgia and Moldova we'd have a massive advantage over them having gotten two 'big' games out of the way? 

They lost in Serbia, we didnt. so that's 1 point over them. They have a point at home to Wales. So that's us with 1 big game 1 point, them with 2 big games and 1 point. Don't really see the advantage

Unless Serbia fielded an ineligible player the fact they lost and we didn't is somewhat unlikely to change

What people need to realise is unlike our trip to Scotland in 2014 ( I think they can sort of be compared) is Austria are under huge pressure to win and are already on a downer whereas the Scottish team we play had confidence. We need a performance like Bosnia at home. let Austria have the ball all they want but when they go forward get in there face's and force mistakes and when he do have the ball make the most of our chances, You can in a way compare Bosnia and Austria as teams. I have a sneaky feeling that we might sneak this match, what's key is we keep Austria out for 45-60 mins as the longer the game goes on and they haven't scored the more pressure build and if there feeling the pressure after 5 minutes imagine what it will be like after 65 mins? Austria have to win, if they dont it could well be curtains as I can't see a team dropping points at home twice and still advancing as unlike european qualifying there is no 3rd place position for a team to fall back on. All hinges on the team selection and I feel our best chance of victory is if we play Wes Hoolahan, he is the sort of player who will cause that Austrian defence absolute havoc.

What I'm getting that is that even after we meet Austria (and for the sake of argument results against the other sides work out equally for the big 4), we'd still have one more opportunity to win / lose / draw than they have, whereas they will have one more 'big' game out of the way over us. The fact they lost in Belgrade will only count good to us provided we don't lose ourselves in the next year. What I'm getting at is a draw in Vienna will only be a good result provided we don't lose elsewhere later on.

Taking the worse case scenario that we lose a game next year, a win in Vienna would give us a three point cushion over them regardless, a one point gap on the other hand is doable for Austria going into the last game when they play Moldova and we play Wales.

This would be an ideal match to turn into a premier league style end to end game.This would fully show up Austria's main weakness ; their poor defence. Is there any chance of this happening? Our course not, our manager is Martin O'Neill. He will spend the next Month planning a Rourke's drift/ The Alamo style hold out. A pity, as a very open game would frighten Austria to death, as they will be looking very unlikely to qualify if they lose. Ireland can be a lot more comfortable about the idea of losing, as that would just even up the group again with everything to play for. Will Ireland use this huge psychological advantage? Sadly I don't think so.

Prediction : Austria 2 Eire 0

(the best thing that will happen will be in the 89th minute, when Harry Artery as someone on here calls him becomes a fully blooded Irishman)
