I personally wouldnt start any of them. I see both Woodburn and Brooks as impact players off the bench.
Not for me mate. I'd start both of them. They both seem confident lads and Woodburn in particular will have to face far bigger pressures for Liverpool than he ever will for Wales.

I don't expect either of them to turn in performances that could replicate an in form Bale tonight but I think they would offer a fearless attitude to take on the likes of Georgia and Ireland with a solid base behind them.

Brooks is playing more football than King and Edwards at present and I think Lawrence is always on the periphery of the game without making any real impact.

As long as Coleman plays it right and makes them go out and enjoy the experience I honestly think these are our best options tonight.

It's brave but I think it could work in our favour in the same way Rooney and Owen broke on the scene for England. (By the way I'm not comparing them to these two players but we also can't compare the pressure of playing for Wales with that of playing for England)
