Scraping over the line

Well it was not the most convincing of wins but England just about managed to scrape over the line against Andorra and secure a win. They still have an uphill struggle to qualify and cannot afford any more slip ups but if the goal drought continues then it will be a qualifying campaign that will end in failure.

Much has been said recently about Steve McLaren, personally I think he was not the best person to lead England and was part of the dismal Sven era, however he should be given a change and not pilloried at the first opportunity. If we fail to qualify it will be curtains for him but if a bit of luck goes our way then it could all be very different, time will tell whether he will succeed or will be a failure as England coach.
