Ah well onto the next trauma then. I.e. will JJ, Ethan or Neco get suspended for the play off by picking up a booking tomorrow.

Ampadu would be by far the biggest miss

Ampadu would be by far the biggest miss If Croatia go two or three ahead tomorrow,would probably be wise to take one or more of those guys off? |

Playoff standings have gone our way big time here. If we draw Ukraine I think we're in trouble, if not then I think we should be reaching the final, if we get lucky and have that at home I wouldn't be terrified of Poland - could be much worse draws
We need to try and find a system that works between now and then starting tomorrow. I hope Page tries something a bit different. If he plans to go with a back 5 again I'd like to see Dasilva given a shot as an orthodox LWB

If we're switched on we're more than a match for anyone in the play offs, everyone is in the play offs for a reason and while I won't go kidding myself that if we make them we're unlucky I'm also not going to start thinking that we've less chance than the others.
Keep The Faith

Clear penalty for Ukraine. Lucky. Taking the Welsh rose tinted spectacles off I don’t think it was a stone wall pen there. I see a dive |

Have to be avoiding Ukraine and an away path draw. Entirely possible we get to the final, but are we capable of winning 2 high stakes games on the bounce in a post-Bale world?

Ampadu would be by far the biggest miss We know he's getting booked tonight. Guarantee it. |

Not sure how Iceland and Finland have been playing but they have to be preferable to Ukraine, they were decent against Italy last night. We shouldn’t be too worried about Poland at home either, they’ve had some poor results lately and not guaranteed to beat Estonia

Something tells me we used up all our luck with playoff draws for the world cup by getting 2 home games and avoiding Italy and Portugal. Waiting for a horror draw to unfold now! But at least it won't be Italy.

The absolute worst possible is Ukraine at home and Poland away. Tricker than Armenia away and a qualified Turkey at home.
I’m not sure we’d do it but there were worse teams we could have faced. Who knows, maybe Lady Luck will smile on us one more time tonight…

Cant see why they even need to draw this Iceland the lowest team so surley they should be in path A, waste of time for uefa, only draw should need is for the final.

Our pre-draw odds have us overall 4th favourite to qualify out of everyone, but have us 3rd favourite out teams in our draw behind Ukraine & Poland

Are Kazakhstan and Luxembourg in the same path? After their qualifying campaigns I think it would be fitting for them to qualify... with us obviously.

We've ended the campaign stronger than when we started it which is a real plus.
It doesn't mean much in terms of play-off hopes, it doesn't mean success in the future (World Cup qualifiers more difficult) but we look stronger than when we started.

Hope it's a home leg for the final, could be a nightmare trying to sort travel to Poland/Estonia with 5 days notice.

We're going to do it, by March a lot of our players will have improved, it's Rodon's first ever full season starting every game, Neco, JJ, Ampadu, they're all getting better.
