Same here in Cardiff. The FAW must have hired extra staff, as I even got my Belarus ticket today. Must be for the 50% ticket checks out in Slovakia ;-)

Got all the Azer tickets.
Still not ordered my Belarus ticket. Seriously dunno if I can be bothered, really thought that would be a game away from the CCS.

Very much doubt that ramsey won't be released. He's over his injury and the game's still three weeks away. What he needs is to build up match sharpness, so I reckon Juve will be grateful of him having minutes over the international break

If Ampadu plays any fixture in the Bundesliga he automatically starts for me.

On what planet is Smith ahead of Ampadu. Smith is currently warming the QPR bench so not get much more game time than Ethan. There is a reason why one has gone to a champions league club and one to the championship. I rate Smith but Ampadu is different class and I cant understand anyone who cant see that.. As for Ramsey Juventus may want him to get 90 minutes as he probably wont start for them before this game

Shock (well, not really) loss coming up against Azerbaijan. For the first time in like 10 years I really can't be bothered.
Team is anyone's guess, and Giggs to try and be too clever again, not giving opponents enough respect.

Think we will win but a loss wouldn't be the biggest shock.
It would show the players have no belief in Giggs and he would have to go

I think Davies will be preferred to OFW. I'd have Vaulks for King and Woodburn for Bradshaw, but other than that I agree on the rest. I'm expecting another bumper squad so I wouldn't be surprised if Giggs includes a few youth prospects like Levitt and Burton too.

If we lose the place will be like a morgue and we'll be down to the old attendances Believe!!!!!

Shame the only keeper playing a.t.m. is OFW. Could be problematical.

I honestly don't get why some goalies are happy sitting on the bench for most of their career. Absolute waste of talent when you could be playing every game if you go down a level or two.
Why isn't Danny Ward or Hennessey out on loan or better get a permanent move?

Assuming Davies, Chester, Matondo, Brooks and Ramsey are our injury woes:
Hennessey
Roberts Lockyer Mepham Taylor
Allen Ampadu
James Wilson Lawrence
Bale
Assuming Dummett doesn't answer the call, I'd choose the 23 as:
GK: Hennessey, Ward, Davies
DEF: Roberts, Gunter, Mepham, Rodon, A. Williams, Lockyer, Taylor, B. Williams
MID: Allen, Ampadu, Smith, Wilson, J. Williams, Evans
FWD: Bale, T. Lawrence, James, Vokes, Hedges, Broadhead
Hedges & Broadhead make my 23 based on early-season form, with Evans taking a CM backup spot as from my reckoning, him and Allen are the only players at Championship level or above who aren't warming the bench or on the sidelines. Lockyer vs Rodon is the toughest decision in the main XI but I'm giving Lockyer the nod purely because he has a little more experience on the international stage. The shortage of keepers playing regular football is a huge worry, as any of those will surely be prone to errors, and they don't have a top quality defence to protect them either.
I sincerely hope we don't resort to having to use Ash, as no doubt he'll be rusty and he's been error prone for a year or 2 now. He's in there because we basically have no other option but to include him. James Lawrence isn't good enough, and after that you're looking at mid-tier League One level players who almost certainly aren't good enough. Lawrence, Morgan Fox and Joe Walsh are probably our main backups to the 23 there.
Ben Williams makes the side as his only competitor for the backup LB slot, Declan John, isn't even making the bench for Swansea. At least Ben's making the bench for his Championship side.

I'll add that King comes in for Ampadu if he's injured (with Smith starting), and Dummett undoubtedly comes in for Ben Williams if he accepts the call, but I don't think he will.

Ramsey's back to full training with Juve and the game is three weeks away. If he doesn't suffer a setback over these next threeweeks, he starts 100%. I would definitely pick Rodon ahead of Lockyer - while Lockyer has much more experience, he's a far more mediocre player and didn't stand out at League 1 level - he actually struggled for much of it. Rodon is starting in the championship, earning rave reviews and has sides like Man City interested in him. H'es brilliant in the air and his style of play as a ball-playing CB is much better suited. Agree with the other selections though. I'd go for: Hennessey Roberts Rodon Mepham Taylor Ramsey Ampadu Allen Wilson Bale James

Lockyer is playing regular Championship football now but I agree that Rodon should get the nod this time.
Good shout above for Broadhead's inclusion, deserves to be selected ahead of Levitt and Burton as things stand.

I knew Charlton signed him but assumed he wouldn't go straight into their starting xi. From a quick search, looks like he's doing alright too.

Good reviews at Charlton and I thought he held his own against Mexico alongside Mepham. Personally not too bothered whether it's him or Rodon though as they both stake a decent claim to be in the side if Davies is out. There's absolutely no way Ash starts for me. If what you say is right about Ramsey, he goes straight into the starting XI, with Lawrence making way and Wilson moving out wide. I'd drop Hedges or Evans from the squad in that case.
