Savage blow on top of Bale, Ampadu and Mepham.
Not such a bad thing, it might give one of the youngsters a chance hopefully, probably be King though!

You actually think we're going to win tomorrow with Bale and Ramsey out ? Next joke.Quote:

Relegation to the C group, demotion in the UEFA seedings, 3rd seeds or worse for the Euro draw! Back to the bad old days of playing multiple sides seeded higher than us!Quote:

Win the game tomorrow and we put ourselves at least in a good position to qualify. Lose, and it just gets as hard as it's always been. In my opinion, this is a real blow.
The big players need to play in all games , to enable Wales to stay in the top tier and in form , the youngsters then gain experience off the bench , they then in turn establish themselves,
and take on the mantle of main selection .
Leaves us short in midfield.
Ireland have the advantage now we have lost our 2 best players. I can understand why King would come in id be tempted to go without vokes as they struggled with how we interchanged last time and try keeping a more fluid system. Maybe drop Lawrence back into the midfield 3.
If we win tomorrow and draw with Denmark we finish on seven points. Denmark currently have four points. A draw in a Cardiff gives them five points going into their final game at home to Ireland. Win that which they should gives them eight points and the group. So we really need to win both of our remaining games to win the group. With Ramsey now out as well I think we will lose a scrappy encounter 1-0.Quote:

It's now a tough game and realistically a draw is now an acceptable result. Wilson, Lawrence, Brooks can still cause a lot of problems for Ireland so still big hope for us. Long journey for us to next tournament now though. And, forgive me for saying, but still a bit of a hit that a Welshman has got the England camp's heads screwed on for the first time ever.
And that is the issue ,if you rush their development, too much is expected of them ,mistakes are made, we may get beat ,their confidence drops .Quote:

Aye, and since the youngsters will define our progress in the Euro qualifiers, they need to be played now before the qualifying games start.Quote:
