OH **** SAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!
They still haven't got Seamus Coleman, their best player. I wish it was otherwise under the horrible circumstance but it is still a fact.
Ramsey and Allen on form in the centre of the park still gives us a fantastic chance.

We probably need to beat Ireland as well because a win and a draw could see us being the worst second placed team out of the nine groups.
If Coleman goes with that front 3 we are out!
Woodburn has got to be the replacement for Bale and I'd be considering Brooks starting too.
If think Vokes is nailed on to start.
Without him we'd have kanu as the focal point, that isn't happening.
Hal was pivitol against Moldova. You don't know what you're going to get with Hal, but he's put in some splendid performances for Wales over the past few years. That said, Georgia are apparently weak on set pieces and defending headers so we may well see Vokes start. Possibly both?
If Brooks were a couple of caps in and proven internationally already I'd be expecting him to start because of form. With Bale out, we might have to opt for quicker players where we can. I won't be surprised to see Woodburn start because he is a very similar player to Brooks. It's quite likely that one will be the substitute for the other against Georgia.
The fact that Cookie replaced Bale with Bradshaw shows that he's probably thinking about going for the wing back system again.
Woodburn must start, period.
I'm not sure playing him while he's started his periods is a good idea.
I don't think Vokes is nailed on to start at all, especially against Ireland who will be quite happy to get into a battle with an immobile "lump".
I think we've looked far better with Kanu up top in recent games.
We have to start Robson-Kanu over Vokes, who looked pedestrian at best vs Austria. I'd play Brooks and Woodburn over Lawrence, although I wouldn't be too surprised if he played HRK, Vokes and Ramsey as the front 3 and reverted to the back 5.
I am more worried about Georgia than Ireland. They always cause us problems. Ireland are o.k but I don't think they are all that. Course it will be tough with a Premier League+ feel. They are no mugs but I don't think they are as good as recent teams. They don't seem that confident either, I haven't read all the pages on the forum's though. They got our traveling away and Bale in their favour obviously. First things first. Friday gonna be hard, If we can get a result there I will be confident.
It's the old "double bluff" from Coleman.
Good teams miss big players and find a way to win. All this means is that our players have to step up, our supporting coaches and fans have to step up, and step up again because of the boost it will have given the Georgians and Irish.
"Don't be afraid to have dreams"
Ah well, didnt want to go to Russia anyway
Woodburn ahead of Lawrence for me
You cannot replace Bale. With him out you want Ramsey playing further forward to influence play more.
Personally i would go back to a back 5. Have Allen and Ledley holding, Ramsey and Woodburn with HRK as the focal forward.
I meant I'd pick him ahead of Lawrence
I've seen nothing in Tom Lawrence that excites me, unlike Brooks and Woodburn.
I thought he was pretty anonymous for Derby against us until the last 10 minutes when we were spent.
In a must win game I be tempted to start with Woodburn or Brooks on Friday and bring the other on if we needed to.
I suspect though that CC will start with the "proven" Vokes or HRK simply because he knows what he's going to get from them in his generic style.
It will be tough to get a win out there and our recent results against Georgia favour them hugely, particularly without our talisman.
By a mile
Ireland will try and kick lumps out of us, like they started to do in Dublin. We have to win, let's get them on the back foot. I'd start Woodburn and bring Brooks on too. Both have played in big games now, either for Wales or Sheff Utd and have no fear.
Henenessey
Gunter Williams Chester Davies
Allen Ledley
Woodburn Ramsey Brooks/Hal
Vokes
This also bad news because it can affect Ramsey negatively. He has a tendency to try do too much when he's playing for Wales which often leads to mistakes/breaks down of play/losing the ball. Especially when Bale is out.
