I'm half expecting a member of the Royal family to pop in to the game so that GSTQ will have to be played !🤔 Think I just saw Princess Anne collecting donations outside the CCS to help fund further hush-money for Prince Andrew, courtesy of their adoring public. Thankfully it’s only the archaic WRU that promote that (alledged) nonce-protecting family. Any Ukraine injury news knocking about? |

Be interesting to see if Ukraine play a high or deep line. I’m hoping high as when we get given the ball we find it hard to break teams down (Estonia home and away). Austria played high and James could have bagged a few. Think Neco will have a big game today. 12/1 to get an assist on Paddy. Feeing more optimistic today … Ukraine really aren’t that good. Only won one game at the Euro’s and got smashed by England who didn’t get out of second gear. Scotland flattered them and I hope they are emotionally spent. We are player for player a better team just need to play the game not occasion.
Ps/I hope those that deserve a ticket and bucket hat find what their looking for.

The betting lines flipped overnight, which was interesting. Ukraine were slight favourites when I went to bed last night, now Wales are favs, really thought it would go the other way. Any news come out of the Ukrainian camp?

Btw do we have a discord for this? I love the forum but on matchdays like this it would be easier to keep up with things on discord or something similar.

Shh your giving away our secrets 🤣 play a high line, not like James can score anyway. Don't worry about Bale, look at his Real Madrid matches, he's just a YouTube footballer. |

Any early team news. I have to say I think it was telling Wilson didn't play against Poland. Got to be in line to start.
My guess would be...
Ward
Ampadu Rodon Davies
Roberts Allen Ramsey Wilson Neco
Bale James
Would love to see Moore start but how do you get everyone in? Only one I could see potentially making way is James but surely it'd be for Johnson if he is.

If we are chasing the game I expect we’ll go route one which, given their keeper, is likely to bring results. The only doubt with that approach is whether the ref (who loves a card) will give the keeper too much protection (that he doesn’t deserve based on his ability). |

Oli Denham, Matt Smith, Dylan Levitt, Rubin Colwill and Wes Burns are the five players to miss out on Wales' 23-man squad today.
Would rather have Levitt than Morrell. I hope this does not mean he is going to start with Morrell.

Moore will start😁 I don’t know if you saw the interview on the BBC talking from a Bournemouth perspective about David Brooks. He got in a mention of Wales and said “and of course when we qualify for the World Cup” with no sign of irony or deference. I actually love that confidence- it shows in his body language on the pitch imo. He’s a strong character. |

The BBC aren’t fucking about today:
“ Now usually, these Wales live pages are a little cheerleader-ish towards Cymru, especially as this proud footballing nation is bidding to reach a first World Cup since 1958 and especially with 18 failed World Cup qualifying campaigns to look back on.
However, as Gareth Bale and Ben Davies have eloquently acknowledged this week, today's opponents mean Wales are the side most neutrals will be rooting against, we acknowledge that too.”
As a British news outlet I thank them for their “support”

As predicted KM starts. Wayne in goal.Phil Blanche twitter Correct decision imo, Ukraine won’t be expecting this. LiveScore says 4-4-2 but looks more like 4-3-3, James and Bale either side of Moore. There is pace to pressure their defence but for me Moore will mean we can mix it up with them and play more of a controlled game. Just have to watch the card situation as the ref will probably fall out with Moore at some point |

I just hope we are switched on today and not let the occasion get to us, it's a game we can win and the focus has to be on that and not any sideshow distractions surrounding it.
From an historical point of view I'm glad it's not the Scots we face, we still owe them one but that's for the future maybe.

Bit concerned about losing 3 at the back but this does seem designed to counter Ukraine's strengths. COME ON CYMRU!! |

Sky had 3-5-2 but that had Bale between Allen and Ramsey which obviously sounds mental. I guess the team sheet isn’t in formation order so it’s all guess work really. |

Feels like this is it to me. Ukraine aren’t peak Romania with Hagi. Arguably despite not having as many household names as 94, Wales we are a lot better balanced, set up and drilled now.
I’m not going to say we can’t lose, but it does feel like this is as close as we can possibly want to come and I feel more than ever we’re going to do it
