We haven’t forgotten, it’s just relief and false hope.

Made tough work of that but pleased for brooks and keeps us just about in it.

Re: LATVIA v WALES. Match thread
Disastrous result for the future of Welsh football.

Re: LATVIA v WALES. Match thread
Great to see Brooks score, but that was crap against the 134th best team in the world.
Probably more than enough for Page to keep his job though.

Great to see Brooks score and I thought Jordan James played well, he’s much better than Morrell so that’s another positive

Play like that against other side in the group and we will get punished.
Still, three points was a must and we got them.
Edit:
Ramsey interview i think I caught him saying the substitution was a precaution.
Phew!

If you ever wonder why club managers hate releasing players for international duty, you just witnessed why.

Page needs to go.
Absolutely dire!

As much as I want Page gone not sure what else he could have done today
Johnson really needs to work on his finishing and none of the defenders fill me with any confidence
Points all that matters but shouldn’t have been in that position

Re: LATVIA v WALES. Match thread
On his second-half withdrawal, Ramsey said: "It's just a precaution. I didn't want to take any chances but I'll be fine for the weekend."

Great Welsh following
At least 2000 ?

S4C said 900 fans attended but definitely looked more than that

Definitely, he got an absolute kicking for it too tonight.
Ramsey looked very stiff for the 2nd half so hope he thought it was something he could run off and didn't want to push it.

Have to say I didn't notice, but perhaps he went into the treatment room for someone to ease him off.

I think we had 950 official travelling fans. How many more went and got tickets through other means, is anyone's guess.

If we beat them that will be huge but we need to take points off Armenia away and beat Turkey at home whatever happens, that last game could be for 2nd spot….

Being ever the optimist, I only see three defeats. As you've said, the Croatia game is huge, win and they could gain some momentum, lose (which is likely) and I can see the games v Armenia and Turkey going the same way.
Wales should've been more comfortable last night but their continual lapses in defence are going to cost us against teams that are not League 2 standard.
Rob Page and Alan Knill played international football in defence. The set up, the personnel and the application looks horrendous. What do they do prior to games?
At best, I see Wales finishing third. Doesn't that give them a play off spot?

I can’t dispute what you say about Alan Knill, but one F uck ing cap. !!!!! :hehe:
I can remember when he signed for the City, Rob Phillips (in his echo days, before BBC Wales), put on the back page of the Echo “Former Welsh International, signs for City”. :hehe:

*laughing* was it only one cap?
I know it wasn't too many and I can only remember him playing against the Netherlands which I remember most for was the kit Wales played in that day. I'm going all Gok Wan here.
Didn't Guillit score a header with the Alan Knill standing around aimlessly? Good to see he's coaching what he practiced.
