Up until the injury we were still in the game, albeit looking like we were just hanging on at times. Taking it easy looked right in advance and given that they felt we were good enough to have to play normal, after the game it looks even more like the right decision.

all things considered, good choice.

they played normal. Thus lost a chance to build up enthusiasm. However, having lost 2 games means that if there are any hopes of qualifying, then they shall have to come from Russia going 7-0 with Ukraine beating Isreal. that would put 3 teams at 5-2, at which point the goaldifference would decide who qualifies.

the biggest problem is that ukraine will be able to CT russia in there last game, but let's first see how everything play's out. pointless to make scenario's untill u are late in the season. i reckon a logic finish would be the 3rd spot, but u can always hope for more ;)

I agree, but it was always going to be next to impossible to qualify, looking at the teams we were facing, we would need extraordinary game shape our side. At the beginning of the season we expected a 3-4 result. Anything better than this was a result for us.

Thanks mate,

The game had a hiccup start for us, but our lads soon made up for it and pulled the game around. We had slightly more depth although they had a comparative lineup, perhaps even slightly stronger. The choice to normal was a good call and sets us up against the easier 3 teams in this division. We were always going to be relying upon results falling our way in the other games as we aren't one of the bigger teams and as such have to fight for each game.

Overall we did a very solid job, players all did their bit and we came away with another touch and go win. So far this season we were expecting to be 0-4 down. We are 2-2 and have the 3 weaker teams in the division to go now. Next is Scotland who ritually CT us so that will be a challenge and of course we must not take teams for granted. We must continue to work hard on gameshape and training. Doing ok so far chaps, lets see how many more surprises we can chalk up this season

Yeah I suspect more than a few people will root for Portugal in the last 3 games

Sound victory against the Scots,

An underpowered team and there was no way we were going to lose this game however, we wanted to get a 30+ PD from it and we achieved what we wanted, Ukraine beat Israel and Russia beat Portugal. This leaves us in an interesting positon, we need Israel and Ukraine to lose a game each, then it is just down to points.
