FT: AZERBAIJAN 0 - 2 WALES
Written off by some after the away defeats in Croatia and Hungary, it's still all to play for and we are in for an exciting end to the Euro 2020 qualifying campaign. Even though we haven't exactly set the world alight with our free-flowing football, we've ground out a few decent results to keep our hopes alive. We need to win our last two games, and hope Croatia avoid defeat against Slovakia in this evening's other group game. Failing this, we we still have another chance of qualifying via the play-offs.
One of the highlights could be the sight of Bale, Ramsey & James lineing up together for the first time, with Wilson and Matondo also in contention. That's a serious attacking threat for any team to face, and hopefully it will be too much for Azerbaijan. However, I do expect it to be a nervy encounter and we need to be at the top of our game. Croatia found it tough on their recent visit to Baku, and only managed a draw.
K.O. is at 5pm, and the game is live on Sky Sports.

Huge game - Two wins a minimum over the coming days and hopefully results go our way elsewhere.
If we qualify Giggs can shag my missus if he hasn’t already.
Re: Wales v Azerbaijan Match Thread
There are a few decisions that need to be made regarding who plays at centre-half and defensive midfield, but I would like to see these 4 in the forward positions:
Bale - Ramsey - James
Moore

If we don't qualify can he go and feck off somewhere else to learn his trade as a manger?

The old and the new. It looks like they sit at separate tables.

Gunter & Ramsey must have to go up the Heath Hospital after every international break to get prised apart:hehe:

My guess it they are going to see how this game goes and keep him fresh for Hungary, due to his lack of playing time since recovering from injury? He'll probably come on if we need him today.

Re: Wales v Azerbaijan Match Thread
Morrell & Ampadu will be interesting. Plenty of energy, but missing the experience of Joe Allen, and then Mepham & Lockyer are behind them. I may have gone with Ashley Williams for this game, as there aren't too many caps amongst that lot.
Re: Wales v Azerbaijan Match Thread
Giggs has the personality of a conker...
Re: Wales v Azerbaijan Match Thread
Odds on Bale and James getting booked for diving...
5/6
Re: Wales v Azerbaijan Match Thread
How tall is Wayne Hennessy? He looks like a giant.
