Just looked at previous qualifiers, 19 or 20 points required for 2nd.
16 from seeds 4-6
3 from seed 2
1 from seed 1
Games against the smaller nations are pivotal to avoid needing miracles in the big games

Guaranteed to get Belgium and Israel. These things come round in twos and threes.
I’ve not liked the Belgian national team since the 2-2 heartbreak at Hampden when Van Buyten scored that late header to plunge us into the dark ages.
We should just arrange a few friendlies with Israel too and make it a best of 9 series.

The days of a top two finish from a group of 5 being enough are long gone and there is a lot more quality around these days than there has ever been.....there will be big names missing when the draw in 2022 comes along. Every Hampden game now is a MUST win, away ties against the pot 4s and below are MUST wins. Actually the gap in quality between the European teams now is not huge, little decisions here and there in individual games will decide a few countries fate. We will need a bit of luck but more importantly, we need to avoid bad luck (see Czech Rep 2011....still hurts that one).
The big negative is the squad that got us to the Euro's and to runners up in the Nations League group are not good enough to get us to a world cup, the positive is that it is a young team and they will be better and more experienced this time next year....Clarke will also be much more savy to the international game. Who we get in the draw will be a big factor in our chances that is true....but more importantly we need to be looking for more quality to come in, be it pinching quality players with Scottish grannies (Che Adams?) or someone from the U21s to make a leap forward (Hornby, Turnbull, Porteous, etc).
We need to improve a hell of a lot from where we are, thing is we are improving though. Even our Slovakia defeat was night and day from our last trip there.....it was a 50:50 game that arguably on the balance of play we should have won. If the improvement continues at this rate then no one will want to play us, if it stalls or if this is the peak then we will struggle. Lets hope its the former.......come on Scotland, we love you!

Wales don't need 11 top quality players who can do that when they have a Bale or a Ramsey who can unwrite 89 minutes of headlines with a couple of world class touches. Still, would not be scared of drawing them in our group....no other team in pot 2 is more open to a single injury derailing the whole team as they are.

There’s no doubt Wales are a decent side with good players. Scotland are also a good side with decent players though, it’s certainly no foregone conclusion that we’d lose both games against them.

No harm in backing the Scottish players from a patriotic point of view but to say Scotland are better than Wales is criminal.

Other than the major nations in pot 1, I dont really think there to much different between most of the Second pot teams and third. Maybe just a player or 2, but i'm certin there be a few 3 pot place teams who end up in the top 2 of there group.
