I know there's fitness issues. But benching the guy with the most goals in the squad to sit next to the guy who's assisted most of those goals in a must win match is the most Welsh thing ever.
Must be being saved for the last 20 mins.

Remember Broadhead has scored 6 from 12 for the side second in the championship on goal difference. He should certainly bring energy. Johnson is the one I will be keeping an eye on. Does he put in a shift off the ball?

Does he put in a shift off the ball? Yeah its hard to argue against that, but apart from the Croatia fluke away goal he’s been pretty poor/average in every game for us.

You're missing the point. I'm talking as a fan. I've learnt watching Wales all these years that getting excited and anticipating success only leads to crushing disappointment (mostly pre-Bale era and now post-Bale). Of course we'll all be watching it hoping for the best, we just don't need to be setting ourselves up for disappointment. Doesn’t the same apply to the playoffs too? So why ‘focus’ on anything? Eh? The play-offs will be the last chance saloon so of course we'll be focusing on them. I was just saying not to expect anything from tonight, because we're getting fuck all lol.

Any thoughts on the game? Lineups etc. Just agree with what's already been said. Surprised Broadhead's starting. Page was talking about the need for energy, why on earth isn't Dan James starting then? It's not like he's been out of form at his club.

Broadhead? FFS. Seriously he is not useless but what planet is Page on? That looks unbalanced and we need energy and Dan James has been on fire. I am at a complete loss
It does not matter if we win and Broadhead scores. I am no coach but it makes no sense. How about shaking up the full backs!

I expect him to come no later than after an hour. Perhaps the thinking is to ensure we still have pace when we make the changes. Pairing James with Moore makes sense.

Makes total sense!

Moore isn't fit to start, and he wouldn't add energy to our attack. The change makes sense albeit an obvious gamble.

Stadium looks quite empty 15 mins before Ko Had a feeling that would happen. The valleys in South Wales lot probably. Liverpool and Man Utd first. Wales a massive second

BTW - last 3 years one player has consistently delivered for Wales despite his critics and has been the best player on a consistent basis - Dan James. What has he done to be benched for the last 2 matches?

Where was this team on Saturday!
Long way to go but great start. A timely Armenia goal wouldn’t go amiss

Thats a penalty for any big team in the PL

Definite penalty if not 2. Disgraceful with VAR.

Another potential pen and not even a look! Ive never seen such a lack of interest in penalty shouts. Two of these would be a 5 min stoppage in the PL

That last one was definitely a penalty.
