I Agree! For me it is all depending on player fitness, if we are injury free then we can win the group. It's either 1st or 2nd, that's the situation here. We will not finish 3rd

Your choice of dressing.

We already have the point. We'd have to lose all of the remaining games for me to have to go hat shopping. I'm confident.

This would leave us on 17 points, Bulgaria on 19. The match in Bulgaria on June 6 is vitally important. A draw would do handily for us.

We simply cannot lose away to Bulgaria or Cyprus. I'd take a draw in each of those matches right now. I have a sinking feeling we're going to end up as the ninth best runner-up, because although Montenegro are the bottom seed in our group, they're good enough to be a fourth seed normally.

That's the crux, I did some best case/worst case scenarios and basically I think if we get 2 draws from those we'll get 2nd, with 17/18 points depending on the Italy game, where I think a draw would be another good result.
Whether that will be enough for us not to be the bottom 2nd place team remains to be seen.

This group is actually shaping up to be like the Euro 88 qualification group.

3 uninspiring home perfomances (two 0-0s and a 2-1 win from behind against Luxembourg) before a classic home win and performance against our main rival.
