Sugar_Army Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 9 minutes ago, eez-eh said: It’s rare that a team goes through a qualifying campaign with a clean sweep. Out of ~10 or so groups in a campaign you’ll see it once, maybe twice at a push. Sometimes it doesn’t happen at all. We need to get out the mindset of assuming that our top seed will take maximum points. Totally agree. We assumed Germany would do that when we had them as well as Poland and Ireland in our Euro 2016 group. Defeats by the odd goal in each gme against them were seen as not bad results as we assumed they would probably batter the others. But despite taking 4 points off Ireland and matching draws with Poland we blew it by dropping points elsewhere while both Poland and Ireland took points off the Germans. Maybe with a bit more self-belief from the outset we might have got better results againt them. We need to have the mindset that every game is winnable and take that as our starting point. The Danes were looking for the clean sweep when they turned up and it was possibly our best game of the campaign. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donathan Posted March 28, 2023 Author Share Posted March 28, 2023 Very good result for us in Georgia. I didn’t want a Georgian winner as I see them as an outside contender for 2nd place and beating Norway would catapult them right into contention, but Norway failing to take care of business against a lower seed is great news. 12 points against Cyprus and Georgia, 2/3 points against Norway, and match Norway’s results against Spain. Do all that and we’re on the plane. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 If that Rotherham winger who plays for Ireland can give the French a hard time then it stands to reason that Dykes will annihilate the Spanish defence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bing.McCrosby Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Great result for us in Georgia. If we could sneak a win, or even a draw its a brilliant start for us. Even a defeat isn't the end of the world, hopefully we can just plat well and build a bit more confidence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
