Chris Gunter thinks Wales can bounce back from Georgia draw

Wales defender Chris Gunter is confident the team can bounce back from dropping points against Georgia in World Cup qualifying on Sunday.

The Euro 2016 semi-finalists were held to a 1-1 draw in Cardiff by opponents ranked 127 places below them in the FIFA world rankings.

The result means Chris Coleman's men drop into third place in an extremely competitive Group D, two points behind Serbia and the Republic of Ireland.

However, Wales qualified for Euro 2016 despite dropping points at home against Bosnia-Herzegovina and Israel and Gunter says they can recover once again.

"You're not going to win every game in international football, as nice as it would be," said the Reading man.

"Generally, over time in big games we've delivered. We've got big games coming up and we're comfortable in that situation.

"The fans will be disappointed, but it's important to remember we're still in a strong position.

"We've proved that when we need to win games we can, and that will be the case right until the end of this group.

"We need the fans to stick with us. We've had little setbacks before and we've recovered really well."

Gunter thinks that Georgia might go on to take points off Wales' group rivals, but he and his team-mates now have the home game against Serbia on November 12 to focus on.

"We've already seen teams taking points off each other," he said. "Georgia will do the same.

"Right up until the last game, I don't think there will be one team who runs away with this group.

"I saw people saying before [the Georgia game] it was a must-win, but I don't think you can have a must-win in the third game of the group.

"Obviously it's two points dropped in our view, but it doesn't change the way we approach the rest of the group.

"We're still unbeaten and we've got plenty of games we can go and win.

"I don't think if we'd beaten Georgia, we'd be saying we'll take a draw against Serbia next month.

"We approach home games the exact same way and, as I've said, we're not at the stage of must-win games yet."
