Thread: FT: Wales 1 - 1 Serbia. Ah bollox

    FT: Wales 1 - 1 Serbia. Ah bollox

    Tomorrow is a must win game for Wales, even though we have so far only played 3. A win for Serbia would see them surge 5 points in front of us and would leave us needing to win at least 5 out of our 6 remaining games to catch them, you would think.

    The biggest question mark is over who replaces Ben Davies in the team, as James Collins is out also. The most likely solution with our remaining options is Paul Dummett to slot in on the left side of the 3.
    Another option I'm sure Coleman has considered is James Chester to move to the left, with Gunter slotting in at RCB and Adam Matthews coming in as a surprise choice at wing back. Funnily enough the last competitive game Matthews played in was the 3-0 defeat against Serbia at home 3 years ago. We may also see us go to a flat back four instead with Andy King or Jonny Williams coming into the midfield.

    Whatever the case, we certainly need a result. A draw wouldn't be disastrous, but wouldn't be that beneficial either as we only have 2 home games left after tomorrow night - against Austria and Ireland in the Autumn of next year. A win would likely see us go top of the group as I fancy Austria to beat Ireland at home tomorrow.

    As it stands:

    1. Serbia 7
    2. Ireland 7
    3. Wales 5
    4. Austria 4
    5. Georgia 1
    6. Moldova 0

    Not optimistic. Serbia look a good side to me. We need a win but I think Serbia will beat us. Leaving home early to get to the game because it's going to be very busy with the rugby on too.

    Just noticed that we kick off after the other four teams in the group play. Draw from Aus vs. ROI would probably be the best result in that one, and you would expect Georgia to take three points from Moldova elsewhere.

    Yes draw would no doubt be the best result, an Ireland win and a Serbia win tonight would really put the pressure on but I can't see it. Going into the Ireland game in March on 8 points is pretty vital.

    If we lose we can blame Donald Trump for stirring up Serbian nationalism.

    We've got no strikers so we'll play four at the back:

    Line up: Hennessey, Gunter, Chester, Williams, Taylor, Ledley, Allen, Ramsey, Bale, Vokes, Robson-Kanu

    Going all out for the win here

    Four at the back worries me, Ledley and Allen are going to have to put in one hell of a shift

    FT Austria 0-1 Ireland

    Wales will get cut away from the top two if they lose tonight. Cannot afford to lose the game.

    Yup. Ireland are currently on 10 pts, 5 ahead of us. Serbia on 7.

    If Wales don't manage to get all 3 pts tonight then we could probably forget about top spot in this group and a loss would make 2nd spot look doubtful as well.

    We sing it faster than the band (or is it slower), as you say, "it always sounds messed up".

    It's always better during the game without the band.
