Can’t fault the result, will be a much tougher game against Poland.

Nor me, but at the same time I feel like it’s happened before, we do well going forward against the weaker teams and then have a melt down defensively against the better teams.
Confidence is huge though, let’s hope we beat Poland and then we can consider the manager situation.

Great result but Lewandowski will be rubbing his hands at the prospect of playing against our defence.
I dont wish to put a dampener on the night but at 1 nil, even at 2-1, our defence looked like they'd never played together and the Fins had a number of chances.
Just glad they didn't fall to Pukki.

Yep they had far top much time and space. We kept backing off. However we scored 4 and it could have been 6 or 7.

Agree but if they had gone ahead it may well have been a different nervous type of game.
It was pleasing to see us going for more goals though rather than shutting up shop like we are used to seeing at the CCS every other week.
One game shoot out at home, we'll take that! :wales:

Maybe it’s just me but I feel like we have seen this before under page.
The intention is always to attack/counter attack and then we have a complete melt down against better teams. We go from looking good to tactically woeful and completely lost.
Let’s just get past Poland and say he’s done a good job.

Poland are poor away from home. We are very strong at home and have qualified for the past two finals by winning play offs in Cardiff. Think we will edge it.

Re: FT: WALES 4 - 1 FINLAND. Match thread
I was surprised at the atmosphere tonight, very subdued I thought. Wouldn’t have thought it was through nerves with the early goals in both halves, bit of complacency perhaps. It actually ran through my head when sat in the ground tonight that the final throes of the Ipswich game was a better atmosphere.
Great win though, could/should have been more but 4 goals from a home team at our ground is the stuff of dreams. Winner takes all on Tuesday, I pray we don’t melt.

When’s the game?
My last away game with Wales was against Poland, hell of a trip quite a few years ago now.

Ampadu MotM, outstanding.
Lightweight front 3. Ha,ha,wrong. Finland couldn’t cope with the pace & directness. Page got it spot on (did I just write that?)
Surprised about comments about the defence. Mepham had his best game in a Welsh shirt.
Only Roberts was a weak link. #21 beat him virtually every time.

Re: FT: WALES 4 - 1 FINLAND. Match thread
The 20 minute period after our first goal was very subdued. Finland were just able to pass the ball around at will with no-one challenging them for it. A better team would have walked straight through us. Christian Roberts seemed to be lacking a bit of pace which is a worry ahead of Tuesday.
Great result but Poland will be a different challenge.

to be fair to Christian Roberts I don't blame him for being rusty

I do agree. My preference would be for Ampadu to man mark Lewandowski and just keep him out of the game. Our defence looked clueless at times yesterday

After witnessing our rock solid City defence all season, it was concerning to see the Wales defenders a bit shaky but in return we were treated to an attack that looked like scoring every time they moved forward. That was a sight for sore eyes.
