I know we are months away from the next qualifier but there's not much else to talk about. A wee poll to see the general feeling..........
Carry on the way we are going I don't think we should be ruling out 9 points from the 12 available, however, if we rewind back to the last time we played Georgia away and never even mustered a shot on goal against a 16 year old laddie in goals! this is the biggest game left in my opinion. If we can beat Georgia, we will obviously beat Gibraltar and even a point against Poland might be enough to get us through as the 3rd best team!!
I've intentionally left out Germany because anything against them is a bonus but with the game being at Hampden and 3 points against Georgia, the place will be rocking!!
There's a chance, with results going our way we could pip Poland/Germany to second place in the group. Am I getting too far ahead of myself. I think the fixtures we have left are in our favour. Germany and Poland both need to play each other. If we manage to beat Poland we have the head to head over them. It's a realistic chance of automatic qualification. 18 points if we take 7 points from the final 4 games might be enough.
