A more than decent result against Montenegro - so it all comes down to Tuesday night against our old nemesis Poland...
What's your prediction?
As much as I hate to say it I think we might blow it. I'm going for 1-1

BBC already saying that Poland have nothing to play for. 2-1 win for them.

England win, all the poles that live over piss off home. Job done.

with Walker suspended for Poland who comes in at RB?
I wish Roy had just picked 2 natural RBs and this wouldn't have been a problem. Nathaniel Clyne would have come in as the back up RB in my squad.
As it stands now i'd probably go with Smalling at RB.
Wouldn't have much confidence in him however.

It`s never to "play for nothing" when you come to Wembley. Even if it`s friendly or qualification already lost.
This team will get decent manager (probably foreigner) maybe just after Wembley game or soon after. Its obvious that we can play better with some of the names in squad, but we need a decent guy to sort it out . We couldn`t get it done earlier, because former Polish FA people made a very expensive and difficult to break contract for Fornalik. As rumour says, that contract and also stupid decisions regarding qualification games schedule (that meeting, where managers and officials from all involved FA`s made schedule, was held in Warsaw...and look what kind of games set-up we`ve got, two most difficult opponents away in last two games)..., was a "gift" for new FA team to make it harder for them.
For us "Brazil dream" was finished after home defeat to Ukraine. Level of performance plus results like draw to Moldova and Montenegro, gave hope only to lunatics really.
Regarding Tuesday game...well. I believe that at least some of our players has something to prove and ambition and decency is still somewhere there, in that team and we will see that on the pitch. But that's my hope only really. The question is if that team, without pressure, will get smooth and quick 5 goals from England or we will give you a decent game. They will play for fans as well. Good game that will be I think, with good atmosphere on the stands.
PS. prediction from the head: England 2 Poland 0, from heart: England 0 Poland 1 (Lewandowski 90+3) ;)

On paper Poland should have been England's main rivals.

What's happened to them?

Lewandowski, and Blaszczykovski are two quality players plus Boruc. I don't know the other players

Could be another tense night at Wembley.

Have you seen that Montenegro team? 4-1 is a good result...fuck that, need many more goals to consider it a good result. It's 3 points and nothing more...

Do Poland have any decent left sided players? Townsend played well yesterday, but a combination of him and a makeshift right back might make us vulnerable in defense.

Will Hodgson stick with Lampard or bring back Wilshire (or even Carrick)? I think he will need to freshen up the midfield, wouldn't play Lampard twice in 4 days.

I dont' think Poland "not having anything to play for" will be a factor. Its Wembley, they're expecting to have 18,000 fans. The pressure is on England.

I can see 1-1.
 
Re: England versus Poland - Your Prediction

Apart from a pen and an OG last night we weren't really at the races.

I'd play Barkley and Wilshire and Townsend, those who would give their right bollock to play in the WC who haven't already done so.

Time to forget the old guard and bring in the new
