Indeed they beat Armenia home and away in the recent nations league which was beyond us and they drew with both England and Italy at home in the qualifiers for the 24 Euros so are definitely no mugs

I have a feeling that Bellers unbeaten start as boss will come to an end here.

Re: NORTH MACEDONIA v WALES. Match thread
I'd be very happy with a draw at the moment. I think the loss of Amapdu and Wilson will be felt more in this game.
On paper it's a good team for a counterattack,but that also does depend on who Bellamy actually picks!

Re: NORTH MACEDONIA v WALES. Match thread
No way can we go with the 1 man midfield again here, Jordan James needs to start. I'd consider dropping Roberts and moving Davies to left back too

Watching their game against Liechtenstein, I noticed that the Macedonians loved hitting the turf, holding their faces at nearly every challenge !
Kieffer won’t stand a chance if he plays !
I hope the referee isn’t a soft touch !

I doubt he'll play, Bellamy doesn't seem to like a big man upfront

Kazakhstan's players did the same. VAR should be used to stamp out the play acting. Cards for feigning injury would soon cut it out

That’s a great idea. If doesn’t even have to be during the match. Just have it report back the day after. Anyone diving is suspended for a game. VAR would actually have a use then.
I was at the England game tonight- I was offered a free ticket so went along. At some point the game got stopped for 2-3 mins while VAR checked for a penalty (I think) that nobody seemed to spot or care about. It wasn’t given. An already shit atmosphere, killed by a pointless intervention. My group had a few kids in it and stuff like that really kills any excitement.

As soon as they said any head injury will stop the game, every 'injury' is a head injury.
It's embarrassing watching the replays, and nothing has touched their head or face...and they're laying there getting treated.
It stinks

Yes, kids can be a real dampener. :hehe:

Just over 2000 according to the FAW.
3 changes with Mepham, James and Broadhead starting tonight.

Re: NORTH MACEDONIA v WALES. Match thread
Lot of pace in that side, Broadhead is a bit of a surprise but he really doesn't seem to rate Keiffer

Is there really not a better Welsh CM than Josh Sheehan?

There is but he's injured
There's a certain City midfielder who I won't name that I'd say should be there...

Do we have to suffer Connor Roberts ?

Sheehan's played well every time he's played for Bellamy

Re: NORTH MACEDONIA v WALES. Match thread
Great move and although not a tap in, Thomas really should have hit the target.

Agree with you, he keeps the ball moving and I’ve been impressed with him
