Why would you tarnish your introductory good will by being connected to what is very likely going to be a terrible qualifying campaign? The u-21 Euros are finished in July, Carsley, who seems to be the manager in waiting, will be ready for us any time after that.

By what metric? We're 3rd seeds and so coming 3rd would hardly be terrible? I agree we're not guaranteed to get 3rd but I'd be hopeful we can. Seems you are suggesting getting wolloped by the Dutch and French would be a disaster. Most would consider it to be expected. |

We'll come 4th I think. Who cares though as long as we get a playoff, anything can happen in a playoff

For me, I would expect zero points from the 4 toughest matches.
Anything more, with our squad as it is, would be a serious upset for the opponents. Bigger situation would be the nature of the defeats which will give insight as to how healthy the team and manager are. An O'Neill-esque Danish capitulation would likely spell the end for Kenny. And should, as it gives the strong impression the dressing room has been lost. Whereas Portugal 2-1 losses would be far less of a concern. And more turged displays versus the other teams (like in that last window) would also be bad news for the manager. To be honest, it's the four other matches NOT against France and Holland where most of our questions will be answered.

We shouldn't be turning up to lose to anyone at home. Two points minimum from the two home games against France and Netherlands should be the target. We're not likely to get anything in the two away games against those two. But I wouldn't be surprised if either are happy enough with a point in Dublin safe in the knowledge they'll take us out handily over the course of the group anyway. This isn't like the last campaign where Portugal and Serbia were competing against each other also, there's two automatic qualification places so France and Netherlands can be relaxed enough about the odd away draw in this group. After that 4 from 6 against Greece and 6 from 6 against Gibraltar would be the target. Nobody is expecting top 2 here but we have to aim for more than to just write off the four games against France and Netherlands. 12 points should be the target. That won't get us anywhere beyond third, but would at least show we're moving in the right direction and are reasonably set for the playoffs if we get in to them.

By not qualifying? ![]() For over 2 years now we were told that the target for Kenny was qualifying for Euro 2024. Literally as we sat and endured the mostly awful rubbish of the last two years, it was because we were building for Euro 2024 where it was all just going to magically come together somehow. Did you forget about that? Unfortunately for Kenny, you don't get to lose as much as he did and not have it have consequences, which has led him into a situation where we are in a nigh impossible group, and all of a sudden he needs to actually try to win some games because qualifying for Euro 2024 was supposedly the target of his entire reign. |

We could get third and not qualify by a tiny margin, having played excellently against those top opponents, and you'd categorise that as terrible? I don't believe we will but regardless, that's not how I'll be judging it. |

The problem is we could play brilliantly against France and Netherlands but then f**k up against the minnows, think 3-0 vrs Scotland or good performance vrs Portugal and then results like Luxembourg. No consistency in performance to suggest any game is a given against any opposition last few years.

His last game at Aberdeen was a defeat against a part time outfit who train twice a week!
