This game is probably our best chance of getting a result other than Poland in September, so I would go as strong as possible.
Ward/Hennessey - whoever's fit
Roberts-Ampadu-Rodon-Davies- Neco
Allen
Ramsey-Levitt
Bale-Moore
Good chance we'd be asking too much of Davies to start again, in which case Mepham comes in. I'd personally like to see Levitt given a chance to redeem himself against top opposition, but I'm probably in a very small minority there! The other option is to bring Wilson in. I'd ordinarily start James ahead of Moore, but with the latter rested today it makes sense for him to come in.

RND could come in for Davies if he can't go again??

Should these game be used to blood youngsters and get more caps in them before World Cup?
Last night I didn’t see many goood accounts from fringe members of the squad but they need a change. Although I though RND was good and probably along par with Neil Taylor already.
Thought they’d be fighting for a place, maybe harsh against a tough side.

Depends on who"s who the Belgian match day squad. There was a goalscorer in that humping of Poland last night, who I'd never heard of. He's 22 and scoring goals in the Belgian league. |

Blood youngsters giving them vital chance of experience ready for the world cup or risk having their confidence knocked by what is very likely going to be 3 losses. To be fair holland weren't great last night and they did a job against poland - so there's some positivity to take from our second string young side. I never thought i'd say this but last night we could have done with a tyler roberts or even better a tom lawrence. Both must be more effective as a number 9. |

Tough one because a few played 90 last night who will probs need to be rotated. GK situation means we could be in trouble too. Unless we hear Hennessey/Ward are fit we'll have to play Davies. Although I expect us to call in backups soon if that's the case
Davies
Ampadu-Mepham-RND
Burns-Allen-Ramsey-Neco
Wilson
Bale-Moore
Hard to predict again, but that's how I'd start. Bale, Wilson, RND will probs all need to come off at some point. Sorba/Burns is 50-50 but I feel both will have to play a part

I personally wouldn't play Levitt again for a while during the League A games, particularly not against Belgium. It's a shame these games have come almost bang in the middle of a crucial qualifier because most of our energies have been focused on that and we haven't been able to field a full or near full-strength squad. But now the qualifier is over, we need to look to see if we can get something out of these games. It's going to be a tough ask, but a third place finish is still not out of the question. |

I Just don't rate Levitt as poorly as some of the others on here. I think some of the criticism has been way too harsh. He was very poor yesterday, but that's the first very poor game he's had since his first Wales caps almost 2 years ago. He was the player of the season at the fourth best team in Scottish football last year, and Man u have seen enough in him to extend his contract. He's only 21, and he recently strung four or five good to very good performances for us. He may very well be the player to step in once Joe Allen retires. So we could do with him getting another shot in these games, particularly with Morrell injured |

Dylan Levitt had a good game against Poland but, agreed, he was not on song last night. However, I think he should be given another chance on Saturday. Time for Sorba to feature in the starting line-up too.

There we are. Must mean at least one, if not both, of our keepers are out for the next game. Kieffer also leaves the squad which is a shame as I think we really needed him
I'm now expecting Allen, Ramsey, Wilson, Bale & James all to start like against Austria

I kind of want these fixtures out of the way, it's getting a bit much now, we're knackered, wanting to celebrate a historic moment and UEFA are throwing these games at us in quick succession. Don't get me wrong, I like the Nations League and I'm glad they brought it in but the timing is all wrong here.

Don't think you'd have had more than 7-8k in the stadium. |

I agree, four games with a three day break in between is just mad, especially as one of our games has been a qualifier. It's too much and increases the chance of injuries. |

Suppose he's probably familiar with the setup and squad but surprised we don't have a better fourth choice than King to call on. Is Chris Maxwell not an option?

He is, was poised for a move to Goodison before it broke down. Thought Dave Cornell should be involved in the squad. Played well throughout last season. Still fairly young for a GK |

I mean sick note as in he’ll start becoming prone to knocks, not so much that he’ll start to pull a “sicky”. He had done hardly anything in a Bournemouth shirt and broke a bone in his foot and now this when he’s really hardly played very much. |

Lower tier looks to be sold out, bar 100 or so single seats. So I'd expect part of the upper deck to go on sale tomorrow.

A lot of tickets sold by the looks of it. I'm weighing up a last minute booking to Cardiff and only a few seats in my usual seating area available!
