Matondo Burns Levitt Colwill Harris Smith Roberts Broadnead Brooks Cabango Lawrence

[Pearcey3]

I would hope Brooks is able to prove his fitness and make the squad. I would go with either Levitt or Cabango for the other place.

[LeningradCowboy]

Chris Gunter and Jonny Williams really shouldn't make the squad if everyone is fit and available.

[Cardiff-Cal]

It was a 26 man squad at the last Euros, due to covid though, but wouldn’t be surprised if they kept it that size.

[Rjk]

I would not be taking Jonny Williams or Chris Gunter.
any of the other players you mentioned over those two.

injuries will obviously play a part though.
the month or so of the season before the world cup there will be a lot of half assed challenges from players who might be going

[the other bob wilson]

There’s bound to be two or three injuries and loss of form on some players part, so I’d say more than a couple of those eleven possibles Des lists will get in - Brooks has to be picked as long as he is able to prove he has fully recovered from his illness and I’d say Tyler Roberts will probably get in.

[Des Parrot]

I think Gunter & Jonny Williams are guaranteed, can’t see Page dropping them now, they’re part of the infrastructure

[PhyllisStant]

The last squad looked short of a centre half for me. So I'd take Cabango /Lockyer / James Laurence.

Other than that the squad largely picks itself. I too wouldn't be taking Jonny or Gunts as squad players. I'm sure they could go maybe as part of the wider staff if people wanted them there for moral / experience.

I'd definitely take Levitt as he's had a cracking season.

[Pedro de la Rosa]

I think Gunter & Jonny Williams are guaranteed, can’t see Page dropping them now, they’re part of the infrastructure

Agreed. I don't think he rates Cabango either.

[Kind of Blue]

I would not be taking Jonny Williams or Chris Gunter.
any of the other players you mentioned over those two.

I do agree with you but on the showing against Poland I thought both had surprisingly decent outings.

I’m generally one for merit when it comes to these things but squad cohesiveness must be so important in international football, and nostalgia aside, those pair must add something outside of their football abilities that Page and the players must value.

[PontBlue]

Brooks and Levitt would give us cover in the positions we look light as we need 2 for each position. Anyone else would need someone to get injured

[Wales-Bales]

I think Gunter & Jonny Williams are guaranteed, can’t see Page dropping them now, they’re part of the infrastructure

Yep, Page needs somebody to keep him company during the evenings

[PontBlue]

Increased to 26 now. I think Colwill will be a certainty unless he's injured.

[Rjk]

Increased to 26 now. I think Colwill will be a certainty unless he's injured.

it could be 36 and I still wouldn't take Jonny Williams

[Hilts]

Chris Gunter needs a club.

[Pedro de la Rosa]

Chris Gunter needs a club.

Gunter and Joniesta could have no legs and they'd still be in the squad in some capacity.

[Rjk]

Chris Gunter needs a club.

probably looking at league 2 for that? league 2 players should not be playing at the world cup

Yes it's been confirmed, it will be 26-man squads at the WC.
