Rep of Ireland v Poland

Big game next Sunday, think every game in this group between ourselves, Germany and Scotland are six pointers now.

Very tight, what team are you expecting to put out? I hope we can continue our form at the end of 2014, I'd take a point in the context of it all.

We have to win our home games

Big game, like I've said I'd take a point. About time Lewandowski scored again but the one to watch for us is Arkadiusz Milik.

RKW I dont think a point is enough mate.

We must collect maximum points at home to Poland, Scotland and Georgia and away to Gibraltar.

Our last 2 games are home to Germany and away to Poland.

It is quite feasible we may collect nothing from those 2 games.

I understand what you are saying in that you would take a point and obviously I would rather 1 point than none but I just feel if we are to get 2nd or 3rd place then winning our home games is imperative.

I'm a Poland fan, so I'd take a point

But yes home games are massive and we, like you, need to win them. We had a great result against Germany but was disappointed to draw with the arrogant Scots.

Very good result in Georgia too, you won there as well. Hope Scotland mess up and get beat over there.

4/6 remaining qualifiers are at home and one of the two away games is against Gibraltar. We aren't in that bad a position as things stand.

I still expect Germany to become good again though, can't see them carrying on this indifferent from and not winning the group. Having said that, Australia held them the other night and it took a late equaliser from Podolski to avoid another defeat.

Some odd calls by MON in this one, Robbie up front being the most obvious standout problem. How we are still persisting with him at the ripe old age of 35 is beyond me. Long, Walters, Murphy must have been scratching their heads, there is no sense whatsoever in playing Robbie up top alone, its a role he couldn't play in his peak so putting him there now in 2015 is lunacy!!

I think the best you boys can hope for is 3rd and avoid the Dutch again in the play offs.

Important to win home games, glad we got a point as the second half Ireland were much better. I'd have taken a point prior to the game but disappointed to concede in injury time.

Foul on Fabianski before the corner? Possibly. Poor defending after though nevertheless.

Hope you can draw or beat Scotland in June, we need to beat Georgia at home to try cement top spot.
