Same :thumbup:

Not sure how Liam Cullen gets in ahead of others who have had better seasons. Also shame Terry Taylor is injured so won't get his first full cap - he one of a few young midfielders who could be regulars in years to come.

With names like Charlie Crew and Terry Taylor being mentioned, it sounds more like a retro Seventies side. :hehe:

As for Josh Sheehan, I'd genuinely never heard of him before this thread.

In this day and age, international friendlies are daft at the best of times, but Gibraltar v Wales at this time of year? Good grief...

For those that are interested :wales:

Team news?

I'm surprised my Nan didn't make the starting line-up, although she is on the bench.

This has got a whiff of classic 90s Wales 1-1 draw...hope I'm wrong

At the stadium where we won the coveted ‘Algarve Cup’ ! ….Great trip.

I think they had to play these games for some reason, some bizarre UEFA rule

Burns and Matondo are absolutely rapid, strange to think we developed both of those considering our general lack of pace

A bit disappointing we've not picked Mark Harris or Isaak Davies, Cullen is too slight to lead the line

It's not a great game. We need to get around the sides of their mass defence and get more people in the box on the end of the crosses

Exactly the sort of low key, slow paced affair you’d expect an end of season game between Gibraltar and what could almost be called Wales thirds to be. 0-0 at half time, with Gibraltar pretty comfortable- Cullen forced the keeper into a save and there have been chances from corners, but Cabango has been showing why he never seems to score against anyone else but City.

The only bit of excitement being Sheehan's red card challenge - he was lucky it's a friendly

Awful awful game

I do not rate Matondo at all

Glad he’s been taken off

Not the best hour of football I've ever witnessed.
Hopefully the 3 subs will save us from an embarrassing result.

This midfield 2 is less inspiring than Cardiff's, no forward drive at all

How has Cullen avoided getting hooked?

Would've kept Colwill on, with the pace and better movement of James and Johnson, and someone to cross to in the box now.

He's off now, Koumas on

Cullen offers next to nothing, at least Harris & Davies have some physical presence. I don't really see why we call up a 29 year old Sheehan either, he won't be a regular for us and isn't going to improve at this point in his career

Crew on

What a complete and utter embarrassment this is.

Steady on, they have four players who play outside of Gibraltar for the likes of… Wycombe, Chesterfield, Kings Lynn Town and Dundalk. Oh.

Not being funny, you’d expect wales semi-pro team to get a result here surely?

Bloody awful.

I guess it mostly just shows up what a complete waste of time this round of friendlies are unless you're involved in the euros.

Still as said above, even the thirds should be scoring, and we actually have the likes of Moore, Johnson and James on.

Congrats to Gibraltar.

Jesus Christ, completely embarrassing up there with the Orient result

Get him gone before the World Cup qualifiers

No comment

embarrassing. Page clueless

Every f uck ing corner the same

Page out!

You were overly ambitious thinking that we might score.

He stuck Liam Cullen, an out and out poacher, in as number 10 to take Colwill off, says it all about Page's tactical knowledge

4 shots on target against Gibraltar but people will still make excuses for him

Good thing we gave him a 4 year deal!

Page and Bulut

Woohoo

buluts cheer leader has his say on that performance for those that don't use X
