No Vaulks but Jonny, Wilson & Moore all in

Re: Wales Squad

That's extremely harsh on Vaulks. He's been regularly playing top end of championship. His form has improved and yet he doesn't make squad. Ramsey is bound to drop out injured - I'm sure he can't be happy with being overlooked in favour of players who can't even get on the pitch with us
I wonder if somebody has a problem with Will - which would be a surprise as he always comes across as a pretty personable guy.

Re: Wales Squad

Its a baffling decision, Morrell isn't playing for Luton, Smith is doing well but in the division below, Sheehan is two divisions below and Levitt is shit

What's even crazier is that a benchwarmer at Vaulks' own club is in ahead of him

[binman]

Re: Wales Squad

Morrell in squad who can't even get on bench for an utterly dreadful Luton team. Definitely something not right here.

Re: Wales Squad

I'd mentioned in the Pack thread that Vaulks would get a rest during the international break, was half tongue in cheek expecting him to at least sit on the bench.

This is the weakest looking Welsh team for some time, the better players are ageing and despite the buzz on the youngsters by some, many haven't really kicked on (although plenty of time for some, for that to still happen). Weak at GK and across midfield, doesn't look good for the Euro 20 or WC qualification.

yeah I was thinking the same. we've got about 7 or 8 good players. if everyone is fit we can put out a good team but we drop off very quickly after that. it's a pity more of the youngsters haven't kicked on.

over the bridge England have as much talent at the moment as I can ever remember them having. I can see them winning something soon.

People are banging on about this being the best Welsh squad for some time, it really isn't. The current crop have the potential to be special, but they're nowhere near yet and time's running out for some of them to kick on. I do think our first XI is very good though if they're all fit and firing

Hennessey

Roberts/Williams Mepham Rodon Davies

Ampadu Allen

Bale Ramsey James

Moore

Re: Wales Squad

Some of the selections have a youth for youth's sake look to them when you consider the Vaulks omission. I'm not saying Vaulks should be in the starting line up, but he's got more to offer at the moment than, for example, Morrell, Levitt and Sheehan.

No David Brooks either I see,

Re: Wales Squad

Overlooking Jephcott is another strange one, banging them in in League 1 but nowhere to be seen

Giggs clearly has his favourites

Brooks is injured. Other ankle this time. Been out for two weeks but back in April

yes, I knew he was injured, but a couple of years ago I was thinking he was one of three or four who would be able to help see us through the eventual retirements of Bale, Ramsey, Allen, Williams etc. but I think that needs to be reappraised now and Ampadu's not really kicked on as much as hoped either.

Still think our 2016 squad was the best, packed with regular starters and most in the top flight.

How is Allen doing, can we expect the same one back. Any idea?

Re: Wales Squad

That's an absolute nonsense of a selection from Giggs.

Is the requisite for Wales selection these days to be playing as few minutes as possible?

James Lawrence should be absolutely nowhere near an international squad. Especially when James Chester is fit and playing regularly.

What the **** has Tom Lawrence done to be picked?

We all know Vaulks is a limited player but how is he behind Sheehan, Smith and Levitt? It was great for Sheehan to get a call up but is he seriously now going to be a long term option for us? A ****ing 4th division player?!

Even someone like Robbie Burton is more deserving of a spot.

You just know he'll line up with Morrell and Smith against Belgium too.

Re: Wales Squad

Isn't it more or less the same group of players that were in the squad for the draw against the USA and the wins vs Ireland and Finland, when Vaulks was also absent?

The Wales management seem happier with players like Morell who are comfortable on the ball and can pass it than hustlers like Vaulks. I was in Croatia for the last competitive Wales game he started where Modric and co gave our midfield an embarrassing run around. We seem to be berating the technical capability of our central midfield and then bemoan that one of their number hasn't made the step up to international level.
