    Assuming we qualify...will we get any friendlies? I still think the Collins to DM role is something that hasn't been tested properly bar that one half against England. And we still don't have a game plan for beating minnows. In all likelihood there'll be one ****e team in our WC group...maybe I'm getting ahead of myself

    And would you take Scales or O'Brien at CB at this stage? O'Brien was dropped recently but I didn't find out why.

    Bosnia take the lead away to Austria...
    I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.

    Scotland were going to be above us anyway, so don't think that makes any difference to us?

    The Danes would be pot 1 and Poland pot 2. We would be snookered in terms of pot 2 chances.

    3-1 Wales... matching the total number of goals scored against NM across the entire campaign.

    Bratislava could be powerful craic if Ukraine and Slovakia both end up hosting games there over the same weekend. Fans from 4 countries would give it the feel of a mini Euros.

    Denmark down to 10 men. McGinn clearly dived but it was a 2nd yellow so no VAR

    Sounds daft that VAR can't intervene for a second yellow.
