Bloody Scotland.Results not helpful to our hopes for a home draw in the play offs.

Anyone decent would want the job for keeps and not minding the shop like Page. Can't fire Giggs (yet) cos it would be unfair dismissal. So who's the best interim manager out there?

That’s a good point but maybe somebody older who would like to take a team through to a World Cup would take it part time. We’ve looked clueless in both games against Estonia and got lucky against Belarus. Admittedly we were good against the Czech Republic but was that a one off?

If you look at the teams currently coming 2nd who would be seeded you can see how important it is to finish 2nd in the group. Going through as the best Nations league side would mean an away game against one of currently Portugal, Sweden, Croatia, Switzerland, Scotland & Czech Republic.

Apart from the Czechs I wouldn’t fancy our chances in an away one off game against any of the others ( we’re always jinxed with Scotland so want to avoid them) whereas a home game against one of Norway, Romania, Albania, Ukraine & Austria looks more manageable ( if not easy).

Can’t see them changing from Page now though

Even if we get four points from our final two games will that be enough for a home play off semi final? It looks very tight.

Yes you’re right, it would be very tight , I think they remove the results against the bottom side in the groups of 6 so that might help us but haven’t calculated it!

Yes I’ve been looking at that and it’s touch and go to be in the top six best play off positions. We could have done with Scotland not winning.

Don’t we always lose home play-offs, or important games ?
