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. With Moore out, I would give Brennan another shot for similar reasons to Levitt. It was interesting that when he did the media duties prior to the Netherlands game, he was clearly frustrated that he wasn't playing more, but he didn't play like it, so I'd give him another opportunity to show why he should start ahead of James. So my starting IV would be Hennessey Roberts-Ampadu-Rodon-Davies- Neco Allen Ramsey-Levitt Bale-Johnson |

On talent he should be in there but our success isn't built on talent, it's built on working together and he still needs to buy into that in my opinion. |

Agreed, so if I were Page I would make that clear to him and give him the chance to show he can bring more energy to his game. It might not be a poor attitude / work-ethic issue, he might just instinctively not be very good at knowing when to press, where to go to find space etc. That off the ball work is a massive skill in itself. |

Heard that Joe Allen has not been able to train fully with the rest of the camp.
And has anyone got info on the extent of Joe Morrell's injury (is he definitely out?) Thought he did quite well against the Dutch before being KO'd.

Real shame about Morrell, thought he was our best player against Netherlands.
I'd like to see us set up the same as we did against Austria:
Ampadu - Rodon - Davies
Roberts - Ramsey - Allen - Wilson - Williams
Bale - James

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. In the end, they've opened two sections either side of the away fans. Not many Belgians either. |

Levitt, Matondo, and Denham not selected for tonight's squad, which must mean Joe Allen is fully fit. In that case, I suspect we will go with our strongest eleven, so the team dai suggests above

But yes I think this means we can expect Allen, Ramsey & Wilson in midfield again like Austria |

Even though he was the worst player on the pitch the night before, I feel a bit sorry for Levitt.

Agree with dai.
Hard to work out why Levitt was so good against Poland, and so wretched against Holland. Latter performance won't have impressed Dutch people watching on TV, e.g.(possibly)new Man Utd manager, Erik ten Hag.
Will DL be called back for the Dutch away fixture in Rotterdam, I wonder?

Bit puzzled why Gunter and Harris are chosen over Levitt and Matondo.Poland showed that Gunter and Harris are just not international standard whilst the other 2 are young enough to improve and have shown glimpses of promise. |

Of course Belgium have put their best team out against us, despite half the team complaining about these games. They hate us so much it's just funny at this point.

Bale and James up front for Wales. Ramsey on bench. Looks as if Ampadu alongside Allen in midfield.
Wales: Hennessey; Mepham, Rodon, B Davies; C Roberts, Allen, Ampadu, N Williams; Wilson; Bale (C), James.
