There was a total lack of checking your surroundings.

I’d get Cabango off.. move Ampadu back and bring on Brennan… and then Moore for Harris

Is this ref from Belgium?

That was blatant cheating by onana

This ref must be on the take.

Get keiffer on

Moore must be injured.

Swansea Fans lunch on the pitch.

You dirty rat !!

Jack pitched invasion.

Vincent Tan is already talking to the rat's agent.

😂

What a stupid thing to do

Well thats a pen 😂

We don't look like scoring. A few half chances and scored from a corner but otherwise created nothing.

Braindead. We have gifted them the game. Three incredibly soft goals.

Stupidity by Jordan james but what a stupid pass by Sorba Thomas.

Get Keiffer and Rubin on.

WTF was he thinking?

What game are the commentators watching?

Moore must be injured

The feckin idiot laughed too about it too!

Make some changes. Our energy levels have dropped.

We haven't looked like breaking them down from open play

Too little too late he should have been on earlier.

Can't see Rubin ever getting a game under Bellamy.

Bellamy got this one wrong. But let down by the players

Good finish. Why wasn't keifer on at half time.

Ecstacy to agony

At least Kazakhstan took points off North Macedonia which means we can finish second if we win our last two games

Harsh. They haven’t played too badly, but this squad of players just isn’t good enough.

Defensively we are a shambles under Bellamy. Way too open at the back.
Even if we beat North Macedonia we are likely to finish third in the group as our goal difference is a fair bit worse than theirs.
A bit of a reality check for Bellamy.

Bellamy talks a good game but I'm not seeing it on the pitch.

If we somehow beat North Macedonia at home we only need a point against Lichtenstein to finish second

Bellamy waxing lyrical sounds great when we are doing OK but when we are conceding such poor goals it starts to grate.
Just so poor defensively.

We'd lost the game even before we took to the pitch. Harris?? Why??? He hadn't scored in 14 appearances before tonight. So why make him our main striker for this massive game? Why not play Brennan J as our main striker? He always looked pretty good is this role,, the few times I saw him play in this position for Forest. Why not Broadhead? I'd even prefer Isaac Davies up there instead of Mr Bang Average Harris. Davies at least has the speed to take on defenders and with a good eye for goal too. Also Darlow! He's no bloody good. He should stick to running an estate agents.

Nobody really expected a victory tonight if they’re being honest. Bit harsh to be having a go at Bellamy. We have an average squad, and it’s as simple as that.

Could that possibly be because the defenders the manager has at his disposal are mediocre at best?

According to the commentary, Bellamy was going to select a 19 year-old who is playing in League One if he hadn’t got injured in training. And that’s to play against the likes of De Bruyne, Doku and Trossard. That should put things in perspective.

You're right, but tonight we looked like a team of lower tier PL players, and bog standard Championship/L1 players. I cant say anyonone raised their game. For any Wales manager to be successful they need the team to produce more than the sum of its parts. Easier said than done of course but not much evidence of that under Bellamy.

Well, enough people were lapping it up only a few months back. He's still learning, and that's not a defence of him, i don't particularly like Bellamy, but in fairness to him he's been brave and when it's worked people on here have praised him to the hilt. Nothing much has changed in terms of tactics and playing style, we just don't have the quality against much better opposition, we don't have the concentration levels. I don't think that we were that bad this evening, The final two goals were poor to give away.
