FT: ESTONIA 0 - 1 WALES. Match thread

[Rhiwbina Blues]

Page is useless. Picks the right team then goes 3.4.3 instead of 3.5.2 with Wilson alongside Allen instead of Ramsey. As for his subs totally clueless.

It's a tough job because so many of our players don't get regular football, but he doesn't help himself, does he?

If and it's a big if, we actually get to the World Cup Finals then Page needs replacing immediately. Otherwise when we come up against a half decent side like we did in the Euros with Denmark, we'll be like lambs to the slaughter again.

We need a decent coach or manager. Not sure who is out there, and anyone decent would want big bucks, which I'm pretty sure our beloved FA won't pay, I was impressed on how Estonia's Swiss manager has got them playing better football and having them harder to beat. I'd certainly rather him in the job than Page.

Why oh why, is nearly every ball played in the air, always challenged by 2 or 3 of our players.

Parks defending !!!!

More than a bit of truth in your comment about the FAW not paying. I’d imagine they’ve raked in more money since 2016 that they ever dreamed of. But, I fear, the set up isn’t reflecting this new found wealth, frugality is still reigning supreme and if it carries on it’ll be to the detriment of the whole structure. It’s now, with our recent record, that we should be acting like one of the big boys otherwise the whole thing could come crashing down and we’ll be back amongst the dead men.

This is exactly my thinking here. The reason Cookie Coleman resigned after the Euro's is that he was the poorest paid manger at the 2061 Euros, from what I read anyway. Allegedly he went to them wanting a pay increase but they turned him down. I doubt we were paying Giggs mega bucks to manage us, and the same goes for bang Mr Average Page. Trying to think, off the top of my head, who is out there who is any good. Lampard? Bruce, once he becomes available? There must be a European manager, someone who has a proven track record at international level, who would love to take over a national team, especially one with as good a profile as we currently have

And it is all about ‘now’, now is the time to do it, now is the time to speculate. Our stock has never been higher than it’s been for these last 5/6 years. The fans are on board as never before, the whole country seems to have woken up to the fact that we have a national football team. Would be criminal to let things slip, absolutely criminal.
