I agree we should be looking beyond him and bale really, think within the next couple of years, maybe less, we will officially not be able to call on either anyway.

All cycles I suppose but how I'd love to have prime bale and Ramsey back.

Ramsey was in fine form and playing a run of games but over exerted himself trying to turn Emery's Arsenal around and hasn't had any luck since.

Davies has probably played more games this year than anyone not name Kieffer Moore and is a huge loss.

It's going to be a very tough game but we have to believe we can get something out of it.

Not good news about Ben Davies. Three certain starters in Davies, Ramsey and Brooks all missing.

Is the requisite for Wales selection these days to be playing as few minutes as possible?

James Lawrence should be absolutely nowhere near an international squad. Especially when James Chester is fit and playing regularly.

What the **** has Tom Lawrence done to be picked?

We all know Vaulks is a limited player but how is he behind Sheehan, Smith and Levitt? It was great for Sheehan to get a call up but is he seriously now going to be a long term option for us? A ****ing 4th division player?!

Even someone like Robbie Burton is more deserving of a spot.

You just know he'll line up with Morrell and Smith against Belgium too.

I read that Lawrence is only available for the Belgium game due to covid travel restrictions. Even more baffling, especially as he'll probably be sat on the bench for that game.

He'll start as Davies' replacement on the left of a back 3

Possible, i'm thinking that with Allen fit they might drop Ampadu back in there with Mepham and Rondon.

This seems like the obvious choice to me.

Hoping for a couple of covid isolation cases on their side. Well 4 or 5 would be nice!

Couldn't get a more difficult start to a world Cup campaign, Worlds number one away.

Could be a case of deja vu with respect to last Saturday, nine behind the ball with Bale up top.

Whatever the side, full court press from the off and see what happens.

The management seem to love Lawrence. I think it'll be Lawrence-Rodon-Mepham with Allen & Ampadu in midfield

He's left footed, so they'll love that in the left of a 3. Apparently it is Hennessey; Mepham, Rodon, Lawrence; Roberts, Allen, Ampadu, RND; Bale, Moore, James... with the odd surprise. I hope Cabango plays

Makes sense, i mean why have 5 defenders on the pitch when you can have 6


I know Belgium are No.1 but they've only faced England recently that are decent. A few much like ourselves e.g. Denmark, Switzerland, and Iceland...then loads of sh1te like Scotland, San Marino, Cyprus etc. So i'm predicting a miserable night for us as we ship 3 or 4 :wales:

Wow, didn't see that team coming.

James Wilson Bale
Allen Ampadu
Neco, Lawrence, Rodon, Mepham, Roberts
Ward

Bale as a striker? Long night ahead of us

I hope I'm wrong, but Bale up front doesn't work, its why Moore was so important to the last campaign

Pity that Wilson is starting from the City viewpoint, but relieved that Moore and Williams are only subs and hopefully may not be used.

Sit deep and try and counter

I think Wilson will be playing through the middle. Think it's bizarre not seeing Moore there but we are likely to get a hiding. At least we will get to see great passing as have chosen not to include vaulks looking forward to having 95% possession

When was the last time Wales played well without Moore up front?

If that Noddyhead-Davies gets anywhere near the pitch, he'll get sent off.

To me, Moore looks somewhat lame at the end of his recent matches for the City. For our beloved club team needs, I think it is good that he doesn’t start.
