Re: Wales v Belarus - Match Thread
I thought it was a good performance. Defended really well. Even in games we won under Coleman we always seemed to give up a few cheap chances where the defence would just switch off.
Pressing was good all over the pitch, attacked with a lot of pace. The only downside was the final ball /finishing,on another day a few more things come off.
In recent years, when missing Ramsey and starting without Bale we could easily have lost a game like that, but we were so much the better side it was like watching a game against a side from another division.
Although you have to question how much the opposition were up for it, as they were pretty poor

Agreed should have been held at Racecourse or even Newport or Swansea. Indeed both games were played in front of embarrassing small crowds when compared to Wales Rugby Internationals who pull in at least 60k for friendlies and Full houses 74k+! Evening Kick offs for Football Internationals doesn’t help, especially weekdays ?

Yea but rugby is very different. Many of those in attendance for Wales don't actively go to local club matches.
It's like Wales is their club and international team and they will play what less than 10 home matches in a calendar year?
Re: Wales v Belarus - Match Thread
What these 2 games have shown, is that the main man is Aaron Ramsey and not Bale.
The team need Aaron, I honestly believe that if he’d played against Portugal in the Euro’s, we would have won
