Anyone know if Josh Griffiths, GK at Cheltenham on loan from West Brom, has any Welsh connection? Only 19 years old and playing pretty well vs Man City in the FA Cup.

Sounds somewhat promising. Did Scotland not call up Banks or something? Is that what the olive branch is about?

Reading between the lines, the timeline Scott Banks (born 2001) and Fin Stevens (born 2003) eligibility confirmed Sept / Oct 2020 top of my head going back to Oct / Nov 2020, Scotland u19/u21s (cant remember which) had a squad out, but Scott Banks wasn't listed CPFC published that he was standby for Wales u21 in Nov 2021, then it was taken offline sameday Paul Bodin did a media interview yesterday (that where quotes are from) Fin Stevens - Brentford - (Grandfather, Cardiff) Scott Banks - Crystal Palace - (Grandmother, Newport, Gwent) It's now wait and see, stil waiting for u21 fixtures to come out (UEFA delay) but training camp is planned for u21s in march, more info next month

Yes, reading between the lines, I would be surprised if Banks ends up representing us over Scotland.

Yes, all to be confirmed Is the potential eligible player on the bench today (30th) the same person or in addition to the one reported on the 21st? Appreciate that you may not be able to say, but is/are he/they young?

Done some digging, the only players who have been on the benches for their clubs today and the 20th are Kieran Phillips (Huddersfield) 20 year old winger who has made 6 appearances for them this season. Samuel Bell (Bristol City) 18 year old striker, has played twice for bristol city this season in the league.

Samuel Bell (Bristol City) 18 year old striker, has played twice for bristol city this season in the league. Not sure how you worked that out mate? There were tons of players on the bench in the Championship on both days. Between 20-30 I'd say Ruling out ones who we already know about, have senior international careers, seem really unlikely to have a Welsh connection, and could have a grandparent but there'd be no way of deducing this there are a couple of names that would seem the most likely Thomas Sang for Cardiff, whose dad Neil is from Liverpool and played football for Caernarfon & Bangor. Any chance his mother/or a relative is Welsh and we haven't heard? Opi & Owura Edwards brothers at Bristol City. Both Ghanaian born, but with a name like Edwards and both having played in and around Bristol/Bath and other neighbouring clubs, including Newport, I wonder if a parent could qualify. I've included both as I just saw 'Edwards' on their bench and didn't know which one this was Patrick Roberts. I have a feeling this was checked before and nothing came of it, but I've noticed now that he was on the bench on both dates. He would fit the bill of 'tried to make it with England but reached his mid-twenties and realised that wouldn't happen, kept his eligibility quiet until now'. Would make sense if he was eligible that he would make it known now Those are the only ones I could deduct a chance of eligibility from, other than the mentioned above. Of course anyone could be eligible without us knowing but it is fun to speculate

Just seen this Cumbrian lad Ben Davies join Liverpool from Preston. I read that Preston included a clause where they'd be paid more if he went on to win international caps with England in the future. Made me think it would be funny if he turned out to be eligible and won Welsh caps instead - Preston would be well annoyed at the wording of that clause

I'd be curious to know how they hear of some of these players. Ampadu for example, no obvious links but he was known to be eligible so early on

I guess David Brooks, Will Vaulks, Kieffer Moore, James Chester would be better examples then

Then again Jarrod Bowen was Welsh on there for years

as far as I am aware Edwards has no wales links, but will double check "Then again Jarrod Bowen was Welsh on there for years" - Yes he was was checked back in 2017

Using Football Manager again, the only way I can see Owura qualifying is residency as Opi doesn't qualify on there, is it 5 years schooling? I suppose that may be possible
