Match facts
- Wales have lost all eight of their previous matches against the Netherlands, most recently in a November 2015 friendly, losing 3-2 at Cardiff City Stadium.
- Wales have conceded 24 goals in their eight games against the Netherlands. Of the teams they have faced at least five times, this is their highest goals conceded per game average against an opponent.
- Wales are unbeaten in their last 19 home matches in all competitions (winning 13 and drawing six), their longest unbeaten run on home soil in their history. They have only conceded seven goals and never more than once in this run, keeping 12 clean sheets.
- Memphis Depay has scored 20 goals in his last 17 appearances for the Netherlands, scoring two or more goals in a match on seven occasions in this run, including last Friday's 4-1 win in Belgium.

Re: WALES v NETHERLANDS. Match thread
It's going to be a hell of a test tonight. A great chance for some (or probably, most) of the players who starred against Poland to show why they should make the World Cup squad but it's very hard to see Wales keeping their unbeaten run in Cardiff tonight.
I guess this is the joy of being in the top tier of the Nation's League though and both this and Saturday's game will be a good test of playing top quality teams in very quick succession. Sounds like great preparation for a World Cup to me

Yep nothing more than World Cup prep. Give some other players a go. There has to be better options for Qatar than Jonny Williams.

I'd go with this (assuming some of the boys will be rested). Still think out squad is a centre forward and centre back light.
--------------------Davies
Norrington-Davies--Rodon--Mepham-- Burns
---------Morrell -- Ampadu -- Levitt
Johnson ---------Moore---------Wilson

Neco, Denham, Allen, Ramsey, Moore all not in the squad tonight, but suspect might see Colwill or Harris in there instead perhaps.

With Moore out it'll be interesting to see how we set up - with no recognised out and out no 9. Maybe Harris in the middle. As I said we're a striker short IMO

It’s mostly a Dutch reserve team. Think we will be fine.

Would be good to see Harris and Colwill come on for some game time.

I'm sure that he does.
Hope that he gets some game time 2nd half.

Re: WALES v NETHERLANDS. Match thread
Johnson almost made a fool out of de Ligt.

Re: WALES v NETHERLANDS. Match thread
Just chasing the ball now.
Looking super lite in midfield.

Re: WALES v NETHERLANDS. Match thread
Dan James is the modern Kevin Bartlett

I'd put in Amadu to be fair.
Fun watching it on S4C, nice to see Malcolm Allen.
Had my photo with him over Somerton Park when Wales were training there in the latish 80's.

I don't want to trigger the message board haters of a certain Welsh player :hehe:

Re: WALES v NETHERLANDS. Match thread
We don’t have much in central midfield.

Perhaps Davies could have done better.

I think so but it was poor defending. Given too much space and loads of players camped in our own box.

Re: WALES v NETHERLANDS. Match thread
Yep Levitt has been poor. Simple passes straight to the opposition.

I don't think he's Rubbish...just young, inexperienced and a bit lightweight.
He can come good though.
Such a shame that Ben Woodburn has failed to live up to his undoubted potential.
Hopefully Brooks gets back quickly.

Re: WALES v NETHERLANDS. Match thread
Little bit of skill from Collwill to win that corner was sublime.
