Gribz 743 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 If Waller was in charge id be optimistic about maybe a draw but if Spain decide to have a go then it could be a scary night. Looking at the positives we do have one of the best keepers in Europe....id even say Allan Mcgregor would get into the Spanish squad (if he was Spanish). We might need a best night ever from The Shagger. If Levein played 4-6-0 (how was he even allowed to keep his job after that) against Czech Rep then what will he do against the World Champs?? I think we are banking on Hearts getting something against the Czechs, but even then we need the Jambos to win. Im going for: Spain 4-0 Scotland Lithuania 1-0 Czech Rep 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyharley 5 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Hearts ha ha Gonna be a tough night, first 20 mins are massive, we need to keep our shape and try keep the ball as much as we can even if it means not being too adventurous. I doubt we could win this one if it was played 20 times over, but we still have a chance and after the farce in Prague we have to be happy that we are still in with a slim chance. Massive night for Craig Levein, albeit he will get another crack at the World Cup finals regardless of the result. I think he has made progress but managers jobs live and die on their decisions and he made a bad one in Prague. If he makes the play-offs then it might put it to bed, if not, then it will follow him for a while longer. As Gribz says though, Mon the Hearts 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

metlika 0 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 We will probably be drawing, as will the Czech's, but Spain get a dodgy 93rd minute goal, can just see it now. Spain actually have a good amount of keepers Casillas who is going to win 125th cap and he is only 30. Pepe Reina and Victor Valdes, McGregor would have a tough time at it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,416 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I can't see Lithuania beating the Czechs,and I can't see us avoiding defeat.We have had chances to qualify from this group before this final game and blew it,even the home game against Spain when we should have held out for the draw but failed to even do that.Our only hope is for Lithuania to win,but the Czechs know if they win they qualify,Lithuania have nothing to play for so I just can't see anything other than a Czech win. Having said all that I'll be watching the game and hoping for a miracle. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to add that mate,but I don't think we will qualify for the play offs so didn't bother. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Even if somehow we get to the playoffs do we actually think we will beat a side over 2 legs? No but it's a good achievement to have reached the play offs all the same. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
metlika 0 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 No but it's a good achievement to have reached the play offs all the same. I'd be pretty happy if we did, after what has been a very uninspiring campaign against a very average group bar Spain. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 We have had chances to qualify from this group before this final game and blew it,even the home game against Spain when we should have held out for the draw but failed to even do that. Right from our first game it's looked grim. We should have taken 3 points in Lithuania, a point in Prague and 3 points against the Czechs at Hampden. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
