Ukraine looking very good at the moment - and unsurprisingly very motivated!
I wish pundits like Nathan Blake would stfu. Talking about Wales starting fast on Sunday and blowing the opposition away. He is clueless.
Absolutely brilliant goal, he’s always been a classy player.
Sweatys looking decidedly second best at the moment. Ukraine looking decent though.
They look a class above Scotland at the moment.I'm hoping they can fluke a goal in the second half and scrape through on penalties because Ukraine look really good.
Yeah, they look better than I thought. Bit worried now..🙄
They look good, with everything going on we will do very well to beat these. Have hope in our home form and some Bale magic.
Yep. Great to see the cheating Jocks getting beaten but Ukraine look decent :-/Quote:

J C when have scotland ever been good.. some on here talking about them as if they were Luxemburg back in the 70's
Ukraine on a different technical level compared to Scotland.
Well, if it is Ukraine and they’re as on top against us as they are here, I take it our support will not start booing the team like some of the Scots are doing.
They look good, possessed almost…..Quote:

I remember some Scottish fans saying Robertson is as good as Bale. He was crap.
Was hoping they would take it to extra time and, but for a glaring miss by McGinn, may well have.Quote:

It will be a tough game on Sunday but should we lose it will be a little easier to take than losing to Scotland as we have made a habit of in this type of one off game.
Ukraine looked very good in possession, streets better than Scotland in pure footballing terms. However, I just wonder if Sunday might be a game too far for them - I'd certainly prefer to chasing an equaliser against them rather than Scotland.
Far from convinced by their goalkeeper as well.Quote:

Their goalie wasn’t great but midfield and going forward they were excellent and should have won more comfortably. I didn’t think they were that good before tonight but they looked so comfortable on the ball and very quick forward passing too , it’s going to be a very difficult game against them and rather ironically there is a lot of talk about some of their players not having a lot of recent football but our key players have probably played less!Quote:

I think it might, Wales will present the Ukraine defence with a different of challenges, I have two concerns though first I. Think they may swamp us in midfield and,second, it might be thst Ukraine are just fated to qualify.Quote:

We really need the CCS rocking for 90 minutes.
We are going to get absolutely leathered
I did a Brennan watch on sunday...he didn't do anything all game..he does tend to disappear in gamesQuote:

We've got Johnny Williams. Everyone just relax!

Ukraine deserved the victory. Thought the ref was a bit biased in their favour.
How McGinn missed that header i’ll never know.
All in all, a poor display from the jocks, A decent performance from Ukraine, all things considered. , if we play to best of our ability on Sunday, we’ll qualify.
AgreedQuote:

MacGinn (spelling), committed numerous fouls without getting booked, yet one Ukraine player committed his first foul and went straight in the book
Must say I didn’t like the Ukraine’s play acting towards the end of the game, thought they’d have more respect than to lower themselves to that
Surprising how PL footballers of any persuasion get 'head injuries' towards the end of a game they're winning !Quote:

Better blend of youth and experience and fantastic following at CCS
I will go 2-1 Wales
I just about remember it. I was 5 years old 👍
