FT: BULGARIA 0 - 1 WALES. Match thread

[Wales-Bales]

Morrell is suspended

Ampadu & Levitt in midfield?

[City123]

Mepham's back so it could be him & Rodon with Ampadu in midfield

Ah, I didn't know he was fit again. I'd like to see a back three with Williams and Davies as wingbacks, but I doubt it. Probably be Ampadu in midfield which would be the sensible decision.

My team for tonight;-

Hennessey

Mepham (if fit, if not Cabango)
Rodon
Davies

C Roberts
Williams

Ampadu
Vaulks

Wilson
James

T Roberts

Can't see Giggs going for three at the back though and I reckon Smith will start in front of Vaulks, with Jonny Williams in for Wilson.

[StraightOuttaCanton]

Same back 5, maybe Morrell and Vaulkes/Levitt/Smith in midfield. Roberts up front with Williams, Wilson and James/Matondo supporting the striker.

Other option is Ampadu in midfield with Morrell, and Cabango in defence.

Have you seen Joe Morrell?

What is this competition about? Given that Wales have made it to the Euro finals next summer, can someone please clarify what success in this tournament brings to Wales.

A chance to enter the 2022 world cup playoffs if we finish 3rd in our world cup qualification group and miss out on automatic playoff qualification. So winning the group would be advantageous to giving ourselves every chance of qualifying for the world cup.

[Wales-Bales]

Giggs has been reading this board!

[Wales-Bales]

So who's playing where?

[BLUETIT]

Just not fast enough

[Michael Morris]

Finland beat Ireland 1 - 0 earlier

Table before Wales kick off

Finland 9pts
Wales 7 pts
Ireland 2 pts
Bulgaria 1pt

Group winner gets promoted, 4th place gets relegated.

[Whisperer]

Great that there’s fans back in the ground.😍

[WJ99mobile]

Whoever’s working the camera must have had a few very strong coffees before the game.

Pan in pan out pan in pan wide.

The game seems quite laggy too?

[MacAdder]

Should have had a fk in a dangerous area there. They had about 4 fouls on wilson before James was bundled over!

Edit: fk chance now
Edit 2: lame effort

[Monster munch]

Decent enough from the off. Good to see Nico Williams with a start, got a good feeling about this lad.

Playing 3-4-3 means Neco Williams is unleashed, and we've got the players at the back who can pass it around.

It’s making me dizzy

My head is spinning

[Pearcey3]

We look much the better side but no cutting edge

[City123]

The problem is no proper striker making runs in behind. A lot of forwards, no real strikers

[bluesp]

England 🤣

[Monster munch]

Norrington Davies should have buried that. Great build up though, getting a bit lively!!

[Wash DC Blue]

We are looking poor.
This young crop of players just aren’t stepping up.

Ref isn’t helping mind.
Time to bring Johnny Williams on.

Think they have played pretty well but we don’t have that edge up front. The ref has been appalling. No idea why Davies was booked.
