Must win game for Wales to avoid relegation from Nations League level A.
OK, I’ll bite:wales::hehe:
Wales 2 Polski 1:wales:
Hate saying it about one of our own players, but I’m glad Mepham is suspended, as he’s an accident waiting to happen
Do we just need to win, or do we need to win by 2 to move ahead of Poland on goal difference or head to head or anything like that?
Just a win, our goal difference is -4, theirs is -7.Quote:

I don't know why it can't be a simple GD decider if not. Not like they need to try and make the competition any more confusing.
Edit: I suppose it actually doesn't matter for us as we only lost by a goal to them I was thinking it was 2.
Ah not sure then mate, I assumed it would be straight goal difference to decide it.Quote:

Wales Online confirm it’s a win or bust (not that I trust them as a source of information)
Hope this worksQuote:

It works…we just need any win.Quote:

I predict a comfortable win for Wales (provided it is fairly officiated)
:wales:
So, what’s our team going to be?
Ward
Gunter
Rodon
Norrington-Davies
Roberts
Williams
Smith
Morello
Johnson
Moore
James
Think they’ll keep Bale on the bench and I hope I’ve forgotten someone in midfield.

Rabbi misses out again for the second this week. Not sure if we will see him in Qatar now with other players still to come back. I'm guessing his club form hasn't helped matters.
That's the worst Welsh side I've seen in recent memory. However, it will be a good test of our strength in depth.Quote:

- Wales are winless in their past two home games in all competitions (one draw, one defeat). Not since September 2013 under Chris Coleman have they gone three successive home fixtures without victory.
- Thursday's defeat in Belgium means Wales have lost consecutive games for the first time since June 2021, when they were beaten by Italy and Denmark at Euro 2020.
- Poland are winless in four matches since their opening Nations League victory over Wales in June.
- Wales have lost each of their past five games against Poland - only against England, Sweden (both six) and the Netherlands (10) do they currently have a longer losing streak against an opponent.
- Captain Robert Lewandowski is Poland's record scorer with 76 goals from 133 appearances.
- Since Robert Page took over as manager in November 2020, only Gareth Bale (seven) has scored more goals for Wales than Kieffer Moore (six).
Difficult to see a win here with so many players missing.
No Ramsey, Brooks, Ampadu, Mepham, Wilson, Davies or Allen.
It'll be a tough game. We played well against Belgium mind, especially in the second half. Another performance of that calibre and having home advantage might be enough to sneak a 1-0 win. I don't think it'll be a high scoring affair.
how does a 3-0 drubbing sound?.. no seriously ..how would it sound?
