With Burns, Brooks and Broadhead all out there will be attacking berths available. So a callup for Collins or Will Evans wouldn't be entirely surprising, especially the latter, given his high octane high pressing capabilities.

My guess at the squad would be something like this...
GK: Davies, Ward, O.Evans
CBs: Davies, Rodon, Mepham, Cabango
FBs: Stevens, C.Roberts, Neco, Dasilva
CMs: Ampadu, JJ, Savage, Sheehan
FWs: Brennan, Wilson, Ramsey, DJ, Koumas, Matondo, Colwill
STs: Moore, Harris

I think Joe Taylor will be called up. He has pace, which will be attractive to Bellamy.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Hedges gets in ahead of Matondo Bellamy specifically named Matondo as an alternative/sub for Dan James in one of his interviews recently. He's all about energy and pace in his forwards, and he obviously knows RM well from their Cardiff academy days too. I'm almost certain Matondo will be in his first squad. |

I'm almost certain Matondo will be in his first squad. yes heard that, unless he is injured it looks like RM will be in that squad as Dan's understudy IMO Hedges does deserve a squad call up looking forward to the naming of the squad, I didnt like Bellamy as a young man but he has matured and you couldnt fault his work rate/passion as a player so I really hope he/we do well playing high tempo football for me brennan johnson is the most interesting conundrum he has been poor in a Welsh shirt down to Page tactics or him we will soon find out, dont think Bellamy will tolerate anything apart from 100% |

Ok so now Bellamy is the Messiah,or his he still a naughty boy? All of a sudden we are going to have this high press like five versions of Ian Rush on speed and passing around the back like Brazil 70? But seriously I'm just being a tit,I do find it pretty exciting to see what he will do,it feels good to have a young coach with no fucks given,but he is not a wizard,it's going to probably be a bumpy ride at times,but all things considered it's interesting

slightly concerned with Matondo as an alternative/sub for Dan James...
might be reading too much into it but sounds like only a Plan A in terms of playing style...if one pacey forward isnt doing it will replace him with another pacey forward rather than change system,hope that I am wrong with my interpretation |

However, if this is correct then it means we're selecting the same 3 goalkeepers which would be a problem for me |

Joe Taylor or Ash Philips are the obvious candidates. Either (or both) would be welcome. I'd be surprised, but pleasantly do, were he to select Will Evans, Aaron Collins or Paul Mullin. It would be a bold statement that he's looking at a player's credentials over and above playing status. Mullin's still out unfortunately, but could be back for the games later this year. |

Saw this just now-
''Craig Bellamy to confirm Wales squad on Wed, 28 Aug 24 at around 10am
As per normal, players are informed beforehand of call ups, Smaller than usual squad expected''
what do we think the logic is behind a smaller squad? was hoping to see some different players[think we will see some but obviously less than what I was hoping for]called up so they knew they were in contention

The 11 who start the game plus subs need to take on a lot of information for his system so instead of spreading himself thin with a big squad trying to relay that information, doing it with less players is probably a good idea. Maybe in future squads you will see more people brought in/tested |

I know Bellamy won’t be worried about that but the fans tendency to focus on the players not selected will unfortunately distract from the players actually selected. Personally I agree with smaller groups and I suppose it’s easy enough to ignore the negativity. |

I’d like to see the following in at least one of the games:
Fuck sake nobody knows.
Roberts Meps Rodon Davies Neco
Ampadu JJ
Brennan. Harold DJ
Koumas
That front four has a mouthwatering potential in my opinion.
I’d have like to have seen Beck in there, but I fear that he would be too rusty.

I wonder if we will see a back 4
allowing more in CM -Ampadu as the DM and James +1 other as no.8s
Wilson Brennan Koumas front 3
Dan James impact sub

It's a conundrum isn't it. We could have potentially three or four pacy wide men to supply crosses but no room for Keiffer Moore to get a head on them.

He’s not getting any younger and this is the perfect time to try and play a system without using him as the main attacking focal point. Definitely a good plan B during a game though. |

Definitely a good plan B during a game though. 100% and I think Bellamy will see him as a great plan B. Kieffer is moving towards a stage of his career now where he will probably be content with not being the main man too. At 32 he knows he's a top end Champ striker who PL sides don't fancy because of his style He's done brilliantly to amass 43 caps and 12 goals. By the time he retires he'll probably have hit the half century. Could I see him getting another 3 or 4 goals and approaching the all time top 10 scorers list? Yeah sure why not. Great asset for us but not the player to build around under Bellamy imo |

What’s everyone’s guesses for the squad announcement this week?
I reckon we’ll see Sorba and Mark Harris back in the squad, along with the reported first call up for Darlow.
Anyone reckon we’ll see any other recalls/new faces?
