Ampadu, Rodon, Davies will be the back 3. Then we've got Mepham who can cover across the line, Gunter can cover RCB & LCB and RND who can cover LCB. That's 6 in total. I think it's enough personally Good point but I'm not looking forward to seeing Gunter, Mepham and RND as a 3 against Poland. And if we consider RND as a LCB then who plays LWB against Poland? We can't risk Neco. I think it will be Mepham-Rodon-Gunter as the back 3, then RND as LWB against Poland |

If he isnt picked for this 28 man squad , think it's safe to say his wales career be over whilst page is in charge Has page had a relation involved in a crash with a drink driver over the years? Obviously dont know the ins and outs of the Lawrence case , but looks like FAW distancing themselves from him/any backlash that comes with it. |

Understand not being in the starting line up and yes he really only had one good season but not in squad behind broadhead? Harris? |

i think Rodon will start against Poland... he desperately needs game time I would take the gamble the other way and not play him against Poland. I would not risk him. Surely Spurs is a competitive environment and we’re not talking about return from injury here. What’s the difference between Bale, Ramsey and Rodon? I wouldn’t play one first team player against Poland apart from Danny Ward because I’m not sure he’s nailed. Take another look because Wayne will be some peoples #1. |

I see your point... and it'll be easier for the fan's blood pressure not having any big hitters out on the pitch in Poland. but have a feeling Page will give minutes to first teamers to those who need it. Ward, Rodon, Moore and I think even Bale might make an appearance. |

Wonder if we'll go 4/5/1 v Poland. Moore up top, Gunter and Norr-Davies as full backs. This is what I would do! |

I think the best thing about our current position is that the main 23 or 24 of our squad doesn’t seem to be disputed by anyone. The only debates on here and social media are with the same three or four extra slots. Not sure how big the squad will be for the World Cup if we make it. Been reflecting on this since I typed it earlier. Whilst it’s natural to look at who has missed out, does anyone else find it slightly depressing that on almost every social media platform,our strongest squad announcement for ages is met with loads of negative posts about our fringe players and who’s missing. It’s literally the first dozen or so comments on every post. Surely the odd ‘Wow! Bale, Ramsey, Wilson, Johnson,Williams,Allen, Davies and Moore! Bring it on! World Cup play off baby!’ wouldn’t go amiss. |

Gunter is there for versatility and experience. We have no-one else that offers that combination.
Regardless of the level he’s at, Jonny Williams is a better technical footballer than anyone apart from our few star players. He is exceptionally gifted, and although his career has not been spectacular, he can retain possession, unlock defences and win free kicks like no-one else in our squad.
You don’t pick 23 players the same way you pick the starting 11.

Could it be that he's a massive tit and just doesn't fit well with the squad dynamic? |

 The year in 2090. And we have to go over to the BBC Wales newsroom for a newsflash. "The death has been announced of former Wales football international, Chris Gunter at the age of 90. The much loved player was a star of the successful 2016 Wales team.
In related news, Gunter has been selected for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers by Manager Rob Page and is expected to play a part in one of the matches"
He's an all time hero, like me born in Newport. But has not played much this season and has now been released by Charlton who finished 13th in the third tier of English football. I just can't see why he's currently being selected and what's going to stop Page picking him. If he's "good for the changing room" then let him "be in the changing room". I feel it devalues a Wales cap by having him in the squad. I won't start on Jonny Williams.....one at a time... He's probably in his last campaign, after the world cup he'll move aside. He only gets a cap if he gets on the pitch, what he's done is outstanding, if he gets a few more playing the last 10 mins I can't begrudge him that. It's also not just the changing room, on the training pitch too. |

I'm interested to see what Broadhead can do if he gets a chance, less than a year ago Brennan had just had a decent season in the third tier and got into the squad.

It always skews towards the few odd balls in the 1% that think these things AND feel strongly enough to comment it. 99% of people are excited and thinking as you have suggested |

As you say, most are genuinely excited about the players we have and can’t wait. Once we get in the stadium on the 5th June, I doubt many of the crowd will be worried about which lower division players didn’t make the 27th spot in the squad. Haha. |

I think with Lawrence it isnt a footballing decision but one that the FAW dont want to be associated with someone who committed that crime |

It might have been that Giggs had an influence in this selection, but it's certainly not a response to that incident |

A week to go before the annoucement. Here's my squad prediction - 28 man squad suggested by DS GK: Wayne, A.Davies, King
CB: Rodon, Mepham, Davies, Ampadu, Lockyer, Gunter
WB: Neco, Connor, RND, X*
CM: Allen, Morrell, Levitt, Vaulks
AM: Ramsey, Wilson, Jonny, Colwill
FW: Bale, Moore, James, Brennan, Matondo, Harris*I've put X in Sorba's spot (the 28th spot) because I've counted up everyone we included last time, and looked at our recent call ups (Sorba & Cabango out with injuries). No one else stands out as a shoe in, and it's possible it will be a new call up or a returning face Options;Regan Poole - doing very well in League One and is a defender, so might make sense to include him in this spot James Lawrence - been on the bench in the German 2nd tier, not really feeling it with him Dai Brooks - surely too soon? Ben Woodburn - just started to get back playing again, and not exactly a position we need Tom Lawrence - doesn't seem to be favoured Fin Stevens - plays wing-back and seems the most likely to step up from the U21s Owen Beck - unlikely given no real senior football to speak of Wes Burns - in League One team of the season playing as a RWB. Think he could be the favourite My prediction is that Wes Burns makes it as the surprise inclusion to cover wing back Jonny Williams has also played RWB. He may be the “easy” option. Or he may look to bring in a young CB like Cooper or Denham Called it with Denham getting a call up |

Shame about Broadhead was looking forward to see what he can offer. Deserved call up for Burns and Denham though.

Alright sorry, if you are genuine but end of the day it was open to anybody with previous booking history before November last year. Can't expect a ticket for our biggest ever home game if you've never had a ticket in the last 5 years, and you can see why people on here would be suspicious. Thanks mate. In fairness, I wasn’t expecting a ticket - just in hope that someone could help. Totally understand the suspicion given what other folks are saying re: demand for tickets. Sorry if I was a bit snippy - just saw red at the piss taking. I understand it’s only fair that tickets go to those who have been in last 5yr so not arguing with any of that, just frustrating for me. Eveyone got to start somewhere so at least I’ll be sorted for future games now. portal is open as there where some tickets last week but digital tickets have gone out and there is abig red box saying they will still accept returns so best best keep checking portal as tickets may become available espceially if wrexham make playoff final |
