Would like to see a braver team selection on Tuesday. Does Dan James or Wilson read that throw like match fit Broadhead did? Ward Roberts - Meps - Rodon - Fox (thought Neco looked a liability at LB) Ampadu - Morrell Ramsey Neco - Bradshaw - Broadhead Think we're crying out for orthodox match fit players personally. We do need Moore imo because we need a target in the box for crosses Ward Connor-Meps-Rodon-Fox Ampadu-Morrell Sorba-Ramsey-Broadhead Moore If we need a goal I reckon two up top with Bradshaw coming on |

I'm not against a back 3 for this one. Let's get 2 strikers in the box and try and keep them pinned in
Ward
Meps-Rodon-Fox
Connor-Ampadu-Morrell-Neco
Ramsey
Moore-Bradshaw
Maybe DJ instead of Neco

Hi everyone, I installed the new cymru ticket app about 10 days in readiness for the Latvia game...
I've had notification to say my tickets are ready... When I try to open the app it asks me to input full name, then it asks to verify phone number... I'm doing what it asks but I'm not receiving the sms after requesting it... My account details are correct and I emailed the ticketing email address over a week ago and have had no answer...
Any suggestions anyone? Thanks

Johnson is very good but won’t be spectacular IMO, I think Ferguson will reach a substantially higher level but obviously I’ll gladly be proven wrong … You're just being a contrarian with comments like that. Think we can agree Johnson's making an impact in a much stronger league this season. Also, take it for what it's worth but his value on Transfermrkt is more than 3 times higher than Ferguson's despite being 2 years younger. How much of that Scottish lad have you actually seen play? Edit: I see now you were talking about Evan Ferguson lol. We'll have to wait and see with him. |

Johnson is a natural footballer with pace to burn
Ferguson - only seen glimpses of him but he looks like a Hartson type target man? Very useful for Ireland and doing extremely well given his youth but it is not clear he'll end up being in the elite.
Ireland will come good as they have a collection of what seems to be a 'decent' batch of youngsters - maybe even in this qualifying campaign

Team I would like us to pick (without being stupid)
Ward
Mepham
Rodon
Lockyer
Roberts
Neco
Rambo
Ampadu
Wilson (I would go cooper, but I know it’s never going to happen)
Moore
Bradshaw
With L.Harris, O.Cooper and J.James getting a good 20/30 mins each to see their quality.
However I think page will stick with same X1 even though a number of players who have not played in a ages will be tired

Ward
Roberts
Rodon
Mepham
Neco
Ampadu
Morrell
Ramsey
Wilson
Moore
Broadhead

Am I missing something but I thought Bradshaw was anonymous
That’s a genuine question as maybe I wasn’t paying him enough attention.
I would never start him over dj from what I saw

Very useful for Ireland and doing extremely well given his youth but it is not clear he'll end up being in the elite. Ireland will come good as they have a collection of what seems to be a 'decent' batch of youngsters - maybe even in this qualifying campaign Ferguson is a big lad with good technical ability, that can take you a long way, especially if he's always available to play. Johnson has put a question mark over his head now, we had a massive game and he was fit enough to play for his club but apparently not for us. Until there's a proper explanation for this I'm not letting it go. |

The most unlikely point gained last night has now resulted in a wave of positivity going into Tuesday night and the expectation of a comfortable win against Latvia.
I think the real test of where we are will be the approach Page takes with team selection and system used in this match, he has to win it now.

Moore did amazing, he needs real support around him, I'm sorry but that isn't James or Wilson. Ramsey is the only superstar we got now so has to play.
Ward
Mepham Lockyer Rodon
Roberts Ampadu Morrell Williams
Ramsey
Bradshaw Moore
Very thin on the ground. Williams is good but needs a safety net behind him. Put in another defender and we should gain an attacking Roberts and Williams. Tempted to say Broadhead but Bradshaw a league higher and scoring gets ahead.

I would never start him over dj from what I saw Against a top team I guess he would be anonymous, but so would any striker we put out there You have to consider what you're up against when you're picking the team. Latvia aren't going to keep 70% of the ball, in fact we're much more likely to have a high amount of possession. Playing through any team that keep 11 men behind the ball is hard work. But if you can pin them in the final third and test them with crosses, I think having 2 strikers works. Moore to challenge for the cross and Bradshaw to snipe any knock-downs or loose balls, and then Ramsey following in with a late run |

I would never start him over dj from what I saw It's a tough one with DJ at the moment. His body language looked a bit off last night, not that feisty, terrier like DJ we've got used to watching. Instead of being annoyed or angry by his miss, he just looked completely dejected - as if he expected to miss. Has very little self belief atm, and it's sad to see. Do you start him because of who he is and his past contributions, or do you start someone else who's riding a crest of success and confidence? He needs a move to a club that will play him desperately, back to Swansea perhaps? |

Honestly I just want us to get the three points and I don't care how we do it, performances can improve but results are everything right now.

Personally I'm far more nervous about games like this than Croatia away, which was basically a free hit. We have to be winning these kind of games if we have any ambitions of qualifying.
Horrible feeling it's going to be like the Estonia game where we just can't break them down, hope I'm wrong.

I've looked at the stadium map and don't think it's 27k sold. Bottom tier holds 28k and there's still a couple of thousand to shift near the away end and maybe another block which hasn't yet gone on sale. Top deck has only had the front half of a couple of sections gone on sale yet. I'd guess about 22k sold so far, expect 25k on the night. I’m sticking with my 30,000 prediction. If by some remote chance we get something out of tomorrow night it will be close to a sellout. I make it less than 1500 tickets left on sale. These will surely sell today/tomorrow. I'm unsure if there is still a section next to the usual away end to go on sale. |

In reality I think he's a player with Premier League physicality but Championship technical ability I think a few Premier League teams saw his physical ability and thought they could coach the technical side of his game up to standard. Now that 3 PL clubs have tried that and failed, I think his stock at that level has really diminished, and I think his technical ability has maxed out For me he needs to move to a team where he will be regular, build up his confidence/sharpness, and be technically competent at that level. For me that's the top end of the Championship. If he picks the right club then he'll thrive |

Maybe a burnley or somewhere he'll be appreciated. |

Think Dan would be much better off on the right hand side in all honesty.
Lacks a left foot, not particularly skillful enough to cut inside play it to the back post or curl one in but play him on the right he can use his exploits of beating a player 1v1 with his pace get to the by line and play a ball in.
Same with Harry Wilson in all honesty. Bar the speed part.
Trouble is you play Wilson and Neco on one flank and that's an easily exploited side

If he picks the right club then he'll thrive Agree with a lot of that, but I think one thing that's often missed is the importance of the press in today's game. Someone mentioned on another thread that Nagelsmann wrote an article over the weekend describing the five key components of football, and that the press and counter-press is one of them. It has such a massive bearing, and James certainly used to be brilliant at it. That's why Bielsa was so desperate to sign him for so long. So with how football has developed recently, I still think he could find a place in the premiership |

Know absolutely nothing on Latvia apart from the fact theyre 133 in the fifa rankings.
Which usually means they'll keep a lot of men behind the ball & harass the ref. Just get that 1 goal to break their plan!.
