After that, it's obvious to me that we went into Friday's game thinking we just had to turn up.
Now we have to hope Ireland don't get any more points and that we can get a draw with Poland at home.

I think we went into Friday's game not knowing if we should stick or twist.

Strachan's pre match comments about it not being a must win game seems to suggest he didn't understand the need for a victory. Three points would mean that Ireland would have to win away against Germany or Poland.
Strachan has shot us in the foot there.

The players were pish as well.
I don't see RI beating Germany - but they might win away in Poland.
Sadly, whether we get 3 or 6 points, it's not in our hands.
Bloody annoying when France is just "over there".

The biggest mistake i feel was not going for a win in dublin v a dreadful ireland side.i still think we will get a play-off,can't see ireland getting anything in the closing 2 games and i have a feeling we might beat poland.
The performances was better tonight,but we should know by now mulgrew can't play LB and fletcher and hutton are just done. Germany were excellent and played well within themselves.

I disagree - I think that Hutton played well and was on of the few players willing to actually drive at the Germans.
Fletcher is not the answer up front, no doubt, but who is?
I hope you are right about the play-off place, but it won't be our performances that decide.
