I have a strange feeling Serbs are going to buckle under pressure and draw in Georgia, we win and top the group

Same here! Am i the only one who thinks we've wasted a good opportunity in this group? Cannot quibble about Coleman's record with euro's but can't help thinking he missed a trick in way he set up the team in 1st 6 games 5 draws against basically several average teams! Yes can point to his win lose draw stats are good, but its this qualifying group that was important not previous results. :old:

Ireland are a very average team and have very average players. Wales will win.

I suppose still being in contention going into the last game is a lot better than most campaigns during my lifetime. Things certainly on the up, and as long as there is a chance there is still hope. I think we can do it providing all our players are on their game, and home advantage has to help a bit. Hard one to predict.

Seen many games where we just failed qualify think its 5 now 6 with ire! I just think his tactics are defensively minded this campaign, and set out not to lose and rely on bale to create or score the goals, only great save late on prevented a draw again! considering we are unbeaten after 9 games but not top is a telling factor.

I agree with bananas, what's past is past, we've a great opportunity to at get a play off spot, massive confidence boost by getting a win away plus the '12th man ' home advantage, I'll be genuinely shocked if we can't get at least a draw at home against Ireland

Looked at upto date tables barring a miracle with
Two results, wales need a win to be in playoffs a draw will see them miss out on goal difference :o

I hate to be optimistic because it invariably bites me on the arse but I can't see Ireland beating us at all. In the first game when they were at home they were set up to stifle us and even when they had a one man advantage they didn't dominate.

They now need to come at us and play for a win - a draw is no good for them and with the two sides playing attacking football we are the better side man for man. Add into that the 12th man factor of being at home and I can't see them getting a win at all.

Wales to win comfortably 2-0 Ramsey and Hal Robson Kanu with the goals.

Ireland to have no shots on target and be sent home with their tails between their legs.
