"Don't let the Cat out of the Sack"!!!!

"Don't let the Cat out of the Sack" so says Trapatonni!!

Wise words from an experienced manager who has only known success at any of the sides he has managed in his long career.

While it is highly unlikely that Estonia will claw back the 4 goal defecit it is vital that we don't allow complacency set in.

Remember Estonia have already scored 4 goals in a match against NIreland in this campaign. Ok, you may say it was only NIreland but still they have proved that they can score when they're afforded the neccessary time and space.

I believe Estonia will approach this match in a pressure is off situation as no one expects them to actually qualify now and so none of the nerves that were so obvious in Tallin will be present at the Aviva stadium when they play Ireland in the second leg next Tuesday.

Just say the Irish side take to the field believing they are as good as qualified and take a complacent attitude allowing the Estonians go into a 2-0 lead before half-time. This will make for a fairly nervous last 45 minutes.

Basically its still only half time so we must make sure that we impose ourselves on the game fairly early like we did in Tallin. If we score just 1 goal they will then need to score 5 .

Yes the odds are stocked in our favour but i won't be celebrating and talking of Poland/Ukraine until we have actually qualified!!!
