I am afraid the FA is sin cojones here - and they underestimate the people´s will here big time?
Or is it - as I think - just a strategy. Playing time, saving money and giving Mr. Baxter a chance to resign gracefully.
Hope you take it!

Finland - Hungary 1-2 (0-0)
Uefa match report:
Head coach Stuart Baxter was again avoiding his responsibility in the latest loss of the campaign ;
"What could I had done for the Hungarian goals?"
and also questioned the knowledge of the journalists regarding international football,
" how many years have you been a coach?"
"If someone thinks they can do better job then maybe they should do it" .
Agree Mr. Baxter. What are your results as a head coach of Finland exactly? Beating Estonia and Moldova.... no it must be something else... Malta perhaps?
Can not think of anyone doing worse than losing all matches of the qualification campaing and the respect of the fans and the media - probably of players too but they are wise enough to keep their gobs shut.
It is not an easy task to make a winning team out of mostly mediocre player material of a small country where football is not number one sport, and let us face it - you failed Mr. Baxter. Hope you tried your best, have a safe journey home.

The latest new recruit Perparim Hetemaj did not get his chance even at the bench. Surprised? Midfield looks scary in all of its weakness. Mr . Baxter, why don´t you just get your coat and leave, please.
A bet? +0,25 @ 2.01 for Hungary. And a plenty of time to change my mind in livebetting ;)

Finland U20 - Belarus U20 4-3 (2-3) Lahti 10.10.2010
A lot of the personnel had changed since the 3-0 win on Friday, and it showed in a lot weaker defensive performance. Do not want to drop here any names, but let us say it was expected to concede a few goals at least with these kids. A good fighting however and there are several good attacking options in the team.

Ykkönen - one round to go
