    It's going to be a hell of a test tonight. A great chance for some (or probably, most) of the players who starred against Poland to show why they should make the World Cup squad but it's very hard to see Wales keeping their unbeaten run in Cardiff tonight.

    I guess this is the joy of being in the top tier of the Nation's League though and both this and Saturday's game will be a good test of playing top quality teams in very quick succession. Sounds like great preparation for a World Cup to me

    Yep nothing more than World Cup prep. Give some other players a go. There has to be better options for Qatar than Jonny Williams.

    I'd go with this (assuming some of the boys will be rested). Still think out squad is a centre forward and centre back light.

    --------------------Davies

    Norrington-Davies--Rodon--Mepham-- Burns

    ---------Morrell -- Ampadu -- Levitt

    Johnson ---------Moore---------Wilson

    Neco, Denham, Allen, Ramsey, Moore all not in the squad tonight, but suspect might see Colwill or Harris in there instead perhaps.

    With Moore out it'll be interesting to see how we set up - with no recognised out and out no 9. Maybe Harris in the middle. As I said we're a striker short IMO

    It’s mostly a Dutch reserve team. Think we will be fine.

    How is Rodon playing premiership football?

    Should be 0-1

    I'm sure that he does.
    Hope that he gets some game time 2nd half.

    I'd put in Amadu to be fair.

    Fun watching it on S4C, nice to see Malcolm Allen.
    Had my photo with him over Somerton Park when Wales were training there in the latish 80's.

    We don’t have much in central midfield.
