If Josh Sheehan is making the full squad then that’s where Colwill should be and not in the Under 21s

Re: Wales U21 Squad

Where have all the Welsh goalies gone? Can’t even get 3 in the u21 team - one Chelsea youth product born in England who is on the bench for Crawley and one who seems nowhere near the Swansea first team.

Pretty soon we will be researching family trees like Jack Charlton before Italia 90.

Nationality nowadays is a far broader spectrum than the country you were born in, against Poland in the playoff final 14 players represented us over the night, 7 of whom were born outside of Wales. It's the reality of being from a small country

Re: Wales U21 Squad

Surely Joel Colwill should be in the squad

It was a tongue in cheek comment, of course it's been a huge part of our recruitment for a long time. But we've always punched above our weight when it comes to having solid keepers and now... we don't seem to have a single one anywhere in the setup who is starting games anywhere in the top 5 tiers of the league pyramid.
