Go with that XI too.
Not been keeping tabs recently so unsure what the wider squad looks like.

Ward injury looks to be a problem, Neco & RND still out However, Brennan, Davies, Levitt, Hennessey & Brooks all set for a return, so possibly on balance our squad will be looking better Hennessey Roberts-Mepham-Rodon-Davies Ampadu-Morrell Wilson-Ramsey-Brennan Moore That would be my favoured lineup. I really want to start Lockyer, but I know he's used to being in the middle of a back 3 for Luton, and I wonder if it's a bit of a risk disrupting the Mepham-Rodon partnership against Armenia - who they should both be able to handle On balance that looks like a side with plenty enough strength to beat Armenia. All of them are either playing for a club in the top tier this season, or will be playing in the top tier next season Wilson has hit a good run of form, and I think he and Brennan & Rambo will provide plenty of guile to be able to breakdown a deep sitting team. Moore of course will always be a threat against these opponents yeah that seems the most likely line up I would have thought. I'd be tempted to take Morrell out, with Wilson or Rambo dropping back a bit, and bring in James. |

I was told today that 27,500 have been sold so far.
From a very reliable source.

There are only around 1000 tickets left for sale, but there are still 1500 still to be put on sale at the rear of the Upper Ninian. I would expect those to be released before the end of this week.
After that, the chances of any more tickets being available to Welsh fans will depend upon how many Armenian fans attend & the associated amount of segregation that is required to accommodate them. Currently the two blocks that are set aside for this account for another 1100 seats.
So in summary there are approximately 3600 not yet sold, which takes current sales to over 29,000. Essentially with a full month to go before the game it will comfortably sell out.

Nice to see Taylor-Clarke involved after missing out on the u21s in the last window
Yes, no Collins is strange, but nobody was seriously expecting Maxwell (who'll be 33 in July) to be called up after being released? And if it's the same Sheppard I'm thinking of then it's unlikely he'd be released by his club to go to a training camp in the middle of the season

Looking beyond the present training camp...
We really need to be looking to beat Armenia convincingly next month - June 16.
They have lost 7 of their last 10 games (only managing draws against Kosovo and Cyprus, and a narrow 1-0 win in Yerevan against the Republic of Ireland in June last year).
A point (or more) then in Turkey a few days later, and we'll be well on track for Deutschland 2024.

Page being Page again.No Aaron Collins in the camp and Tom King (L2 sub)chosen over Chris Maxwell and Nathan Sheppard. You've got no idea about the personally circumstances that might prevent some of these call ups. Bristol Rovers are on about securing a fee north of £4 million for Collins potentially. Given Barton's form for releasing player for international duty do you think he'd risk Collins for a training camp if they are about to get a massive fee for him and fund their own transfer plans? Maxwell & Sheppard have been addressed above, but there are other players I'd have liked to see for sure. The thing is you're really reaching by pinning it on Page wanting a closed shop, and it's actually quite a baseless accusation. There could be any number of reasons certain players aren't involved. For example, Niall Huggins and Tom Lockyer in the Championship playoff final. Do some of these players have injuries? Do you know for certain that they don't? Also, if your narrative is that it's a closed shop under Page, then how come you're quoting the link above to make that point when it literally demonstrates that he's just called up 21 new players to look at ( Ed Beach, Evan Watts, Ben Hughes, Omar Taylor-Clarke, Joe Low, Matt Baker, Luca Hoole, Zac Ashworth, Owen Beck, Fin Stevens, Eli King, Harry Leeson, Joel Cotterill, Charlie Savage, Oli Hammond, Tom Hill, Pat Jones, Josh Thomas, Josh Farrell, Ben Lloyd) |

A point (or more) then in Turkey a few days later, and we'll be well on track for Deutschland 2024. Armenia will be a tougher opponent than Latvia. 19 out of their last 26-man squad play in the Latvian league (73%), which is ranked 35th in the UEFA coefficients. Of the rest of their squad Latvia only have 2 players playing in the top 20 leagues in Europe (8% of their squad) Armenia's league is ranked slightly lower (39th), but only 12 out of their 27-man squad play there (44% of their squad). They have 6 players* playing in the top 20 leagues in Europe (22% of their squad) So Armenia are definitely a step up in terms of quality from Latvia. Also to the eye teams from that part of the world like Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan seem to have better technical ability than the likes of Latvia/Estonia/Lithuania. Either way we've played Georgia, Azerbaijan and Estonia fairly recently - do you remember any of them being walkovers? You just don't get walkovers in international football nowadays Of course I want to beat them convincingly, but history tells me that might not be the case! A win of any sorts will do, I'd bite your hand off for a 1-0 win against Armenia with a scrappy goal and a 0-0 in Turkey. Although, strangely enough I feel more confident about the Turkey game! [*I've included their Boca Juniors player in this figure because they are top 20 in Europe standard as a team] |

Left it a bit late to get tickets and £150 doesn't seem crazy unreasonable but not sure whether to go for it We had some hospitality tickets for the Latvia game. Good main course and a decent atmosphere and build up leading to the game. Service was a bit dodgy. Not all of our food came out same time - one guy waited half an hour after ours! A few of us didn't get pudding either! Half time was a bit chaotic. Meant to be teas/coffee/welshcakes. Couldnt get milk, and they only brought 3 welshcakes for a table of 6 guys! A lot of non-fans in the room as well, obviously just there for the experience or had free tickets and had no real interest in the football. |

Left it a bit late to get tickets and £150 doesn't seem crazy unreasonable but not sure whether to go for it I've done it for a Cardiff game in the past and there are varying levels but not sure any are worth £150 for Armenia unless there are new bonusses thrown in. An experience worth doing once if it is affordable though |

Predictions for who will be included in the main squad after the EFL/U21 camp?
I'm particularly looking at the central midfielders and I think Omar Taylor-Clarke or Charlie Savage could work their way into the squad, especially given the lack of options in midfield in the last squad
I'd be interested to see if one of the keepers can work their way in if Danny Ward is ruled out. I'd like to see a youngster in there ahead of Tom King
I also think there's room to include one of the defenders, perhaps Luca Hoole, Zac Ashworth or Fin Stevens who have been involved in first team football this season
If I had to pick 3 out I'd go for; Taylor-Clarke, Eddie Beach and Fin Stevens

Stevens played about 5 games for Swansea before being re called, it would be baffling to have him in ahead of Regan Poole for instance
To me it just looks like an u21 squad with some of the available seniors added in an they'll be going their separate ways. Haven't they been training separately?

yeah that seems the most likely line up I would have thought. I'd be tempted to take Morrell out, with Wilson or Rambo dropping back a bit, and bring in James. Hennessey Roberts-Mepham-Rodon-Davies Ampadu-Ramsey Brennan-Wilson-DJ Moore Yeah that looks good too. Only reservation is last time Ramsey & Wilson played in midfield together we were wide open - although that was probably due to a lack of minutes too. I think it can work tbf, especially against Armenia who shouldn't be on the level of Iran/USA. Need Ramsey to be disciplined Wayne looks like starting for us on Sunday as Navas is out injured |

With the exception of Morrell, will our starting line-up be entirely top-flight for this game? Technically I suppose it depends on what happens to Leeds Utd & Dan James.

There's a good chance it will be, although I think we can actually field an entirely top flight team... Hennessey Roberts-Lockyer-Mepham-Davies Ampadu-Ramsey Brennan-Wilson-DJ Moore That's if Lockyer gets promoted, you could plug Rodon in instead if he doesn't. And if DJ goes down Brooks in for him Dark times indeed! |

Went to yesterdays game and Brennan looked like a player yesterday who was mentally and physically tired. He has played the last 3 seasons solid with shortest of breaks between seasons due to being in the play-offs with both lincoln & Forest. i dont know what options you have but the best place for him to be imo would be to start on the bench as i think he has most probably played more minutes than any other player in your squad having made 44 appearances this season.
