World cup group predictions - wales...?

what your thoughts on this then?

Personally I think we have to target play off spot,

Croatia - a force
Belgium - tricky
scotland - on par
macedonia - tough away trip
serbia - on par

I'm gonna predict us to finish 4th based averages and statistics, but if wales dig in deep and get a fortunate result or 2 2nd wont be out of the question.

anyway Better get some sleep 2:00 am

Serbia are not on par with us. Serbia and Croatia will hammer us.

I still think the Wales v Scotland games will be crucial, one of us is taking the runners up spot. Croatia have lost key players and Bilic, Belgium have good individuals but not a team...yet, and Serbia are beatable.

Belgium, Serbia and Croatia all on paper are too strong for us. Scotland are potentially 6 points for either side and Macedonia a bit of an unknown quality with no manager. Unfortuntaely, Coleman is likely to set up not to lose rather than win and we just don't have the players for the sort of defensive performance needed to pull that off game after game. If it was Gary Speed I'd say 2nd place but with Coleman one of the lower places.

have to agree with these guys on this

We need 4 wins at home to start with...

Away wins at Scotland and Macedonia would help immensely

Then the odd draw would see us through


It's easy saying that but, in the days of Speed, we would have stood a chance.

Under Coleman ...... WE'RE DOOMED!!!!!!!!

Am really not optimistic. The performance against Bosnia was terrible. Players looked disinterested. Coleman seems decent enough, Osian Roberts is a decent coach, and Hartson is a clown. According to the Western Mail today, Bellamy is 'injured' and is likely to miss both games. Fancy that! Am going on Friday, so hope that things improve by then. Come on Wales!

Bottom.

Look away now Chris Coleman ....

Chris Coleman first 3 games as Wales Manager:

Friendly - 29 February Wales 0 - 1 Costa Rica
Friendly - 27 May Mexico 2 - 0 Wales
Friendly - 15 August Wales 0 - 2 Bosnia and Herzegovina

Goals for : 0
Goals Against : 5

CC picked the team for the Costa Rica game - so he aint getting out of that one.


Anyone know the term for the opposite of alchemy ???

My picks from Belgium squad

Courtuois (GK)
Kompany
Vermarlen
Vertongen (just signed for spurs)
Dembele
Mertens
Hazard
Fellaini
Mirallas (just signed for Everton)
Lukaku

So more than tricky, they will humiliate us.

Under Coleman we will be lucky to finish 4th.

This group is split into two for me:

Belguim, Croatia and Serbia fighting it out for 1 to 3 and I think Croatia will win it, Belguim play-off and Serbia a close 3rd.

Then us, the Jocks and Macedonia cut adrfit and all fighting it out out not to get the wooden spoon.

As much as I cant stand Coleman I think even Speed would have struggled to get us a play-off in this group.
