Surprising, maybe I will get sorted. I say all that above but if a final/friendly ticket is available then I might just go for it. Could anyone post a picture of the ticket map? Can’t seem to post a photo from my phone, but the red seats are basically untouched. Many virtually no tickets sold blocks. The original Ninian stand still has multiple seats next to each other available. Opened up to 4 per member yesterday, can’t see many shifting before the general sale on the 20th. Appreciate the update all the same. Thought I'd really struggle for this but sounds like there is a decent chance. |

Seems that ticket sales are now open to all - up to TWELVE tickets per purchase.
I understand that its February - but I am still very disappointed ;-(

It maybe middle of Feb but it does seem sales are much slower than we all assumed they would be.

Finland is going to sell out this month and Poland/Estonia will sell out if we beat Finland. The top tier in the Ninian is always filled with casuals. At least the W.F.A. will make £2m from the two games.

They don't go on general sale until Tuesday 20th. Doubt there'll be many left by the end of next week even with that being a restricted general sale. It is slower than expected but may there's a realisation of the task of qualification for us is getting harder. I was struck on Saturday going through the team lists that we no longer have a single player in our squad who's pretty much guaranteed a starting slot with a top flight club in a top flight league. Cant ever remember that in the time I've been going.

It's certainly better that we have so many of our players getting regular game time for leading Championship teams than a whole lot bench warming in the Premier League. Come the playoffs the seriously undercooked players are likely to be Davies, Mepham and Ward. Hardly ideal, but probably the centre back and goalie positions are the ones least likely to be impacted by a lack of game time. |

I love your optimism, but I'd rather we had a few regulars in top divisions. One of the reasons we did so well in 2016 was the amount of top flight and European experience in the first team. If I remember correctly, 4 had Champions League experience, and everyone else had played top flight football. As excited as I am by our latest crop of players, we're definitely reverting to our mean of being a Tier 2/3 international side. |

Stronger compared to having just about everybody on the bench in the Premier League. It's clear how much the form of the likes of Rodon, James and Ampadu has improved for playing regularly in the Championship.
Of course, it would be far better if we had a team where all our players were playing regularly in the Premier League or equivalent. However, that is very much an exceptional state of affairs and sadly I don't expect to see that happen again in my lifetime.

One other thing in our favour at the moment is that we have a lovely balance to our squad, with decent strength in depth, in forward positions at least. We are arguably more balanced than the Euro 2016 team. I certainly rate Neco and Roberts (despite his current poor form) ahead of Gunter and Taylor.

Think you're both talking about different things. eppingblue1's original comment was about the fact that we don't have any players starting for any top side as we always seem to have in the past (at least since I've been watching us over the last 20-25 years). He wasn't talking about whether it's better having Rodon/James/Ampadu as premier league squad members or Championship stars. Under Hughes most of our side were starting in the premier league (not squad options). We had a front four of Giggs, Bellamy, Hartson and Simon Davies - all very good to great premier league players + Speed, Savage, and Pembridge to support. Under Coleman we had Bale, Ramsey, Allen, Williams, Davies, Ledley all good to great Prem level players. We had a mix of those players at different points in the intervening period. Then obviously before the Hughes spell (and before my time) we had Hughes, Southall, Rush, Giggs, and Saunders. So I think it is fair to say that this is the first time in a while where we've had such a lack of decent to top quality players playing regularly in the top leagues. |

The Premier League is by a long distance the best league in the world. I watched Brazil Argentina late last year. Both teams were significantly drawn from the PL. You had players starting for both sides from average PL teams. That didnt happen 20 years ago. 20 years ago, Neco, Roberts, Rodon, Davies, Ampadu, Brennan, Mepham, Ramsey, maybe Kieffer, Dan James, Wilson, Brooks would all be PL regulars. |

I'm not sure I get your point. Are you saying that they wouldn't be playing regularly in the prem now because the quality of football in general has moved on, or because the prem has improved relative to other leagues? Either way, I think there's a massive exaggeration in your comment. Simon Davies was a fantastic player for a couple of seasons, it was only injuries that prevented him from kicking on further. Craig Bellamy over most of his career would be good enough to walk into the starting 11 of most prem sides. Savage was a very effective player in a good Blackburn side, although I accept that you don't see many midfielders like him playing at the highest level these days. Disagree on Hartson - he would certainly be prem level now. I don't completely disagree with your general point, but think you've exaggerated a fair bit. The best indicator we have is the level of club our squad players were and are playing for. We've almost always had at least one or two star players, and none of our current side are close to a Bale, Giggs, Rush, Hughes, or Southall. We've also almost always had a strong supporting cast of 4 or 5 strong prem players, and while there is some merit in what you say, our current lot (Brooks, James, Wilson, Neco) are not nearly as good as those that we've had in the past (the likes of Allen and Ash under Coleman or Bellamy and Speed under Hughes). |

Fair reply, especially on Simon Davies. My main point was that the Prem has improved relative to other leagues, as well as actually drawing players from a larger pool. There are also, more Prem players to be fair due to number of subs and rotation. EDIT- Id also say that the Championship is one of the best 6-8 leagues in Europe. |

The Premier league is a much higher standard today than even a few years ago. Teams like Brighton, Brentford and even Bournemouth are so much better than their counterparts 6 or 7 years ago. I watched Forest vs Burnley earlier this season and was really impressed by the standard of play. Bournemouth, when they beat Swansea in the cup (or Leeds last night for that matter) were on a completely different plane. The Championship as pclaude indicates is now at a much higher level too than it was, with space at a premium. |

The only 'top flights' that are better are the Premier League, Germany, Italy, Spain and France. By that criteria it's a better reflection on us having a players doing well in the Championship than in the Dutch or Belgian top flight, for example. Look at the Leeds side, just as an example - they're mostly all either experienced international for decent teams similar to us, or they're young player who ares/were U21 international for the superpowers (Spain, France etc) |

But the gulf in quality between the Championship and Premier League is still massive - just look at the promoted sides this season. Feels like the league is being talked up and exaggerated slightly in order to excuse the fact that 8 or 9 of our first choice play in it, but it's a bit of a get-out imo. I would maintain our squad is the poorest it's been in a while. We'll still qualify for a lot more stuff because we have a much more professional set-up and qualifying has become easier, but our current squad is a fair bit below what we've been used to in terms of the quality of the individuals within it. |

I can't agree. Most of our players are playing for the relegated trio, plus Ipswich, who are in my opinion the strongest relegated trio in PL history. They shouldn't really be in the Championship at all.
Of course our current squad is shorn of top quality players, Bale, peak Ramsey and Allen. But I would say Moore is an upgrade on HRK or Vokes. Neco is an upgrade on Taylor and Roberts, despite his recent struggles, an upgrade on Gunter. Ledley, great though he was in his dog in front of the back 4 role, was a more limited player than Ampadu or even Jordan James. We also didn't have any decent wingers in the Euro 2016 squad, whereas now we have several quality options. The 2016 squad had star quality for sure, but there is more even quality and strength in depth in the current squad.

I would agree with much of that but Roberts plays on the right and so is a choice ahead of Gunter, with Neco ahead of Taylor. Excellent though Chester was for us I'd have Rodon comfortably ahead of him. The bench options would be mainly the current crop, especially in forward positions.

Over half the team. 7 if you include Hennessey who's still in the squad. Yes, Hennessey then was better than Ward is now I guess (though not by a huge margin), and Ramsey of course was better then than now. I'd argue that 2024 Davies is better than 2016 Davies. Rodon/Chester is also debatable. The only players from 2016 who would be undisputed starters now are Williams, Allen, Bale and probably Hennessey. I too think that we have a stronger squad now, and a stronger team, it's just that we're lacking the star quality that can stun a team from nowhere (Bale, obviously, and also Ramsey very often). But you can't bank on having that star quality available unless you're Brazil, Spain or similar. It's more sustainable and realistic for us to be a good team made of good players than a decent team with one world-class talent. And a team of Championship players playing regularly is a good international team. |

I'd play Neco right wing back and Taylor LWB. I think that's stronger than playing Neco LWB and Roberts on the right. Chester's edge in top flight experience puts him ahead of Rodon for me, but it's close. |

Leeds v Millwall 1500 Sunday kick off for Sky.
Not ideal with 5 of our players involved, and probably all playing a part.
And I thought the South Wales Derby would be a problem that weekend! (Saturday 1230, which is surprising given its Wales v Italy in Cardiff same day, South Wales Police will be stretched!).

They don't go on general sale until Tuesday 20th. Doubt there'll be many left by the end of next week even with that being a restricted general sale. It is slower than expected but may there's a realisation of the task of qualification for us is getting harder. I was struck on Saturday going through the team lists that we no longer have a single player in our squad who's pretty much guaranteed a starting slot with a top flight club in a top flight league. Cant ever remember that in the time I've been going. There are around 1000 tickets left for General Sale tomorrow for Finland. Reports of the demise of the Welsh football team’s popularity have been very much exaggerated. |
