I now kind of hope we need to win it tbh. We can win the group with 3 points too and I'd like to see us go for it. We're at home and I think we're a better team so would like try try and get it done and dusted on Monday.

I have a horrible feeling we will draw on Monday night and go through the entire campaign unbeaten having never been behind in any game which I suspect will be a record. Slovakia will pip us to the final play off place.

Can that happen, this format is spinning me out, Slovakia are playing Malta who are bottom, can’t they not overtake us as the are playing the bottom team in their group

Yes they can because they will be on 12 points net of results against the bottom side which will be the same as us if we draw but they have a better goal difference. We have to win on Monday night.
