There's a fairly strong chance that 2nd and maybe even 3rd placed teams could end up with a play-off depending on what happens in the leagues above, just in the same way that we finished ahead of Israel in our group the last time but still ended up playing them in the play-off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higher up you get more likely play off 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best runners-up will get into Pot 2, but it will most likely exclude the results against the bottom side since one of the groups has 3 teams. There's still a chance that's us but it seems unlikely unless Ireland lose at home to Armenia and end up finishing bottom. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lambies Doos Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 I forget you can still get a play off if team above qualifies conventionally Doesn't necessarily have to be the team above in your actual group, only across league B. 2nd should be enough for play off but will almost certainly be away 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welldaft Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Been quite impressed with ROI. With a makeshift side are looking more motivated and up for it than we have the past few games 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welldaft Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Maybe because they don’t have a Manager that plays 8 at the back inc 3 midfielders and a forward out of position. You get my point 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pie Of The Month Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Yes it's Stephen Kenny's Ireland with their recent defeats against the likes of Luxembourg and Armenia we need to emulate. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Good scoreline. Now on to the games in September. Hopefully we are back on form for those games. I’ll wait for the highlights but I’m assuming Hanley’s form may improve when he’s playing in a winning team again at club level. Getting beat every week in the EPL with Norwich can’t have done him or Gilmour any favours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Given who is currently sitting at the top of the groups in League B, 3rd in the group looks unlikely to get a play-off spot.There are 20 automatic places up for grabs.Finishing 3rd in a League B group would leave you ranked between 25th and 28th overall. Once you rule out Germany as hosts, that's really 24th to 27th for play-off consideration.Barring an unforeseen change to the format, there are 8 play-off spots across Leagues A and B, so to miss out on those even as the worst 3rd placed team, you'd need 2 of the sides above you to miss out on qualification. If you're the best 3rd placed side you'd need 5 of them to miss out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
