Poor second half yesterday. Sloppy. Really should have been several goals up by HT. Jess Fishlock is a legend. Decent crowd. Promotion to League A. Top of the group. Ex England assistant manager doing a great job but she still doesn't know her starting 11 for the playoffs.

Wales played really well in Croatia for 90 mins but switched off 2-0 up in the second half last night against Kosovo. It's strange because for 50% of the time they look really good technically but for the other 50% they look like they've never played together. Maybe that's down to not having a regular starting 11 and captain. Rhian Wilkinson is a good choice imo and at least makes subs when players are tiring (unlike Grainger which cost us against Switzerland).

The playoffs are key. Missing out again will be very disappointing. The semi and final (if we get to it) will probably be played at CCS so get yourself down there. Reckon there will be record crowds again this campaign.

Edit: Bellamy was there last night....and Neville Southall!

I did notice Big Nev sat on his seats.

Didn't watch it all, but seemed like no urgency at all once they were 2-0 up, which is understandable to some extent, but they seemed happy just to pass it around rather than add to their tally.
The playoff draw is on Friday, with matches played over 2 legs at the end of October. Wales are seeded for the League B playoffs - could get Turkey, Hungary, Bosnia, Slovakia, Azerbaijan or Croatia (don't think there's a restriction on drawing teams you played in your group).
Azerbaijan would be the plum draw - they finished bottom of their group but are in the playoffs because Switzerland have already qualified as hosts.

Interesting that Croatia ended up 3rd in the the group last night. Wales were fortunate not to have it at 2-1 around 60 mins which would have made it a bit nervy. The Kosovo 17 yr old keeper getting her first cap had a great game I thought. I'm always keen to see the keepers progressing in the women's game. She was like a cat.

Drawn against Slovakia, with the winner facing Georgia or Republic of Ireland.
