 Yep, whichever way it goes (and at the moment I'm guessing it will be messy), ending with Johnson, Thomas and Harris still on the pitch is a statement of intent from Bellamy

 The ratio of fouls committed to bookings is laughable.
Edit: good win 👏

Sorba Thomas was excellent

 No. The first half was a mare but he was pretty even second half. Better sides than that have lost to Montenegro. Had a horrible feeling the comments Bellamy made after the Turkish match would come back to haunt him but luckily (for him and us) we held on. Not convinced we deserved to after 90 mins but it's a win. Inexperience from Bellamy imo with the subs and conditions. Better than Bulutball though.

 Montenegro are ranked in the 70s or something close to that. From a personal point of view, i loved it, **** defending. I want wales to win but it doesn'r really hurt me when they don't, so i can just sit back and take whatever comes really. I wonder what 'Guru' Colonel Kurtz' Bellamy will have to say...

 I thought he was awesome on Friday. Think he's one of our best players. He didn't seem bothered by the conditions just carried on from where he left off against Turkey. Cooper was dire. It was never going to be pretty in those conditions. As you say, grab the points and get home. Move on. We've lost many we should have won recently and won one we may (should?) have lost.

 Sorba was the coolest head at the end of the game and his positivity was excellent. I know his hand was forced by Dan James being out but credit to Bellamy for getting those performances out of him.

 I agree. We missed two cracking opportunities to go 0-3 up though. Del Boy Bellamy ...'he who dares Rodders' is going to take a bit of getting used to after Page and watching Cardiff.
