We expect the Danes And Swiss  to take 6 From Georgia and Gibraltar. To me our first games in the Group is in Denmark.  We need something from the game given that draw in Switzerland. Coming  back from Tblisi cost Switzerland and if we are to get out if this group we need 4 points from that double header in October

Aye but a win is a win is a win etc...  Winning breeds winning.  If we have 9 or more points going into the Autumn the team will have a good feeling about the place and be gaining in belief and have at least a bit of confidence going into the tougher games.  Even if those wins are against the weaker sides.  Momentum is important.  Better to be going into the tougher games with a backlog of wins than to be heading into the easy games with a mixed bag of results against the top sides in my opinion.

I think we are capapble of getting 2nd.  Our squad is sh*te but if we are well set up with a good happy camp under Mick then we will be respectable against anyone.

MON had morale rock bottom and played anti-football and was able to get draws against the Danes.  I can't see why a better set up EIRE with better tactics and team spirit can't at least match that.

9 points was always the bare minimum to have any outside chance of qualifying though. The Gibraltar games will give people a massive false impression of what is happening in the group table.

Now if we get a result against Denmark, that's a totally different story. I'll take back every word I've said.

We effectively have 6 matches in this group. Georgia at home being the easiest. All the meat and bones of our group comes in 6 months time. I must do up a table without any Gibraltar results in it, as they give a silly impression of how we are doing. Especially come the summer time when we will have played then twice.

As it says. I was surprised to see the confidence in the Duffy thread so I wanted to see how widespread it is.  I just can't see it happening myself, unless we get a barrel load of luck. It feels like a half-decent performance against Georgia and we are all getting carried away, with little or no basis in reality.
