It is a taller order than 2019 - needing to finish with three successive wins, rather than two - but their route to Euro 2020 could be a source of inspiration.
Four years ago, Gareth Bale scored the equaliser against Croatia and, after goals by Kieffer Moore and Harry Wilson secured victory in Azerbaijan, Aaron Ramsey struck twice in the decider with Hungary to clinch qualification.
This time, neither Bale nor Ramsey are around. Bale is nine months into retirement, while Ramsey will miss the rest of this season with a knee injury.
But there are plenty of players from the 2019 vintage who remain. In fact, seven of the 11 who started in the win over Hungary are in the squad to face Croatia on Sunday.
They include defender Ben Davies, who will captain Wales on Sunday in Ramsey's absence.
"Last time, we had two matches at the end where we had to win and we did it," Davies says.

Is that new news or is he making an assumption?
Speculation on Dafydd Pritchard’s part or does he know something we don’t
Only time will tell Mike?
I know Arron mentored the first year scholars in a “Coaching Capacity” last week
He’s doing his badges
The Club have helped many players on the brink of retirement in the past to do the same so there’s no real news there
Personally I think it’s a wait and see situation whereby the club won’t rush him back to playing
I’m sure our astute manager has pencilled in suitable replacements for January 👍
Hopefully just a bit of confusion between out for the year, meaning 2023 and not out for the season.
I'm assuming the article means the campaign.
I just don’t see the news Ramsey was out for the season being broken in such a way. It shouldn’t be anyway, it should be his club doing it.
Yes, the article is about Euro 2024 qualifiers, with the final match being 21 Nov. So assume that's what he means. Gulp.Originally Posted by Trigger
Agree, he will miss the November games and then the qualifiers are over.
Surely if he knew Ramsey was out for the league season he’d run the story on that
Lets be honest the club never learns,Fowler JFH Sinclair etc now Ramsey
Are you for f uck ing real, or fishing
Hopefully they mean out for the Wales campaign 'season'.
He's supposed to be out for 3 months - so I heard.
Hopefully the beeb has just mistyped
Yea I thought JFH was alright. Wolves goal a highlight.
You didn’t mention Vassell.
Crystal balls aren’t very reliable.
If Ramsey is out for the best part of the season and form, performance and results dip, then fans will ask the questions over his fitness levels, and I think that they're entitled to. If we hang around the play off places then there will be less noise. You've been around long enough, you know how it works.
Two contrasting ways of looking at this, the story’s not been changed on the BBC piece some four hours after Mike started this thread. You might have thought someone at the Beeb might have seen the thread and asked the question as to whether it really is the rest of the season Ramsey is out - the fact that the story had not been changed suggests he is.
On the other hand, I’ve just checked with News Now and no one else is running with the story still. Doesn’t seem to be anything on Twitter either.
Same and 36 appearances or does he not like old player? If so he should have mentioned Helguson as well.
Original page has now been updated to state Ramsey just out for qualifiers.
That was all very dramatic for no reason lol.
