Excellent first half where we had the better of midfield. Both he and Ampadu dropped off the pace in the second and it was the right call to sub them when we did. Became more even when we made the switches. Can't fault Giggs too much last night as mixing it up by going long to Moore surprised the Slovaks. Perhaps bringing on Tyler Roberts for a bit more pace for Moore last 10 as he was battered and bruised by then.
Having done five Cardiff away games this season it was good to travel to a match that got the pulses racing!
Moore dominated but thought he looked finished in last 20 minutes.
Bale was nowhere as well, i think ref may have been a bit lenient with Bale as his first tackle wasnt a yellow card.
I know Dan James assisted the first goal but he does seem quite selfish at times, Although a pass to wilson wqs better option and then feed it back to Moore.
We lost all shape after thw sending off one minute everyone was chasing rbe ball the next nobody.
Its still.in our hands and we czn affords a bad result v Croatia if they then beat Slovakia but my worry is they will be through already.
Im no giggs fan but i think peoe are quicker to get on his back because of his personal life and fact let Wales down a bit.
It's a massive game tomorrow, and if we win our destiny will be in our own hands.
Croatia/Hungary scouting report
Hopefully Azerbaijan can do us a favour tomorrow night, can't see it though
A loss wouldn't see us out, but would put huge pressure on those final two games
Denmark lose almost certain to qualify for the Finals following their win over the Swiss.
They are to home to Gibralter next.
That should free up a play off place for us should we fail to qualify through the group.
It changes on a daily basis. If we don't qualify in the top two we would almost certainly be in a Group B play off where one of four progresses. At the moment we would be home against Northern Ireland in the first leg and if we won then home/away against Bosnia/Bulgaria/Israel/Hungary/Romania.
Hope it doesn't come to this but the best place I have found to keep up to date is here:

It’s bloody confusing. It will at least give us another opportunity if we need it.
