Thread: Wales strikers getting thin on the ground

    Wales strikers getting thin on the ground

    After Kiefer Moore has been ruled out of the Austrian game, so too has Tyler Roberts. We'll be getting Tosh off his hospital sick bed to play as a loan striker up front at this rate

    Tyler Roberts: Leeds and Wales forward ruled out for three months after hamstring surgery

    Dan James has been playing a sort-of false 9 (whatever that means) for Leeds recently. Doesn't help us with a target man being in the middle of a front 3 but it's an option.
    With the possible final now delayed until June probably, at least it gives the injured players more time to recover.

    Mark Harris play it on the floor not for in the air for some Moore type striker slows the paly down anyway , Page needs to watch the City post Moore , we seem to have better options and more of them and pace.

    Has Hugill got a welsh granny?

    Current professional strikers who haven't retired I can think of would be: Luke Jephcott, Christian Doidge, Tom Bradshaw , Ched Evans, Nathan Broadhead, ????

    Sorry what I meant to put was "retired from international football" - which I think he has. Is HRK still out of international retirement?

    Wales push Bale into the most advanced role when Moore is unavailable. I would expect that to be the case again if he is fit. Particularly as this is now a one-off without the need to worry about recovery for a more important game a few days later.

    Mark Harris, Isaak Davies, Tom Lawrence, Liam Cullen

    Jack Vale came on for Blackburn last night and Joe Taylor made his Peterborough debut. There's even the 2 Collins brothers in League 2 if we get really desperate

    Isn’t that Brennan Johnson doing ok at Nottingham Forest ? Or is he more of a midfielder?

    A winger I would say. Also Sorba Thomas doing well as is Harry Wilson. We have loads of pace and that includes Dan James.

    Rabbi Matondo is doing well in Belgium as well

    Is Bale a nailed on starter? (Yes)
