[cynonvalley]

I thought Ben should have had a go then   

Tired defending from Montenegro there

Yep time for Harris the way this is going. Moore looking a little tired, and Montenegro looking a bit more tired too. JJ giving us a bit more control in the middle and we've seemed to be more settled these last 10 mins

Still really tough conditions to be playing in tho!

Yeah he's looking tired, twice in quick succession he's not read a flicked pass up to him and we've lost the ball

[erasedcitizen]

Looked off?

[dragon64]

The FAW should have plenty of complaints to put in after this to UEFA

They should have to play in neutral stadiums if this is the best they have it is a disgrace

[hooky]

Our defence is a calamity

Really shit second half from us and why are our defence going AWOL?

Dreadful, dreadful, dreadful, non-league defending

[rushy]

Suicide high line .

[cynonvalley]

[dragon64]

here we go 1-2

and they are on top too

Ah so he is on. Close, but that's annoying.

Darlow needs to be higher! Has the halfway line attempt scared him?!

Sorry, but Bellamy got it wrong when he said ‘that’s the worst we’ll be’ on Friday night, because tonight we’ve been far less composed & are getting over-run almost everywhere.

I’m not having that the conditions are affecting us more than them, but I am appalled by the referee.

The next goal needs to be ours, or I swear to god we’ll be hanging on, or losing before 9:45pm.

The referee is impacting this as much as the conditions, if he'd cut out that crap from Montenegro earlier then its a different game with a few in the book, instead they've been allowed to go in hard constantly

[hooky]

Two matches in a row

How many teams manage to miss open goals from 2cm and what's worse they kick it over the bar.

To be quite frank - Montenegro are functional but very average. Yet they have not exactly been lucky! Hope the defence and defensive structure of the team can sort their shit out

[rushy]

Johnson and Thomas not doing much.

[rushy]

Lots of basic mistakes.

[hc16040]

I genuinely think the players have no clue how to deal with conditions this bad, its the only explanation for the insane number of missed passes

That first half was the polar opposite of Friday night in that we’ve been extremely clinical, but played poorly.

Cooper’s done nothing to change my preconceived idea of him not being good enough coming into the game, but I guess he should be given the benefit of the doubt on his first start in extremely difficult conditions. Koumas hasn’t impressed and looks much slower than I thought he was, although again the same benefit of the doubt should apply. This has probably been the worst I’ve seen Ampadu play for us, whilst we look really nervy in defence (in contrast to their much more purposeful play on Friday night). I think this game also shows that Davies is now a much better CB than a LB. Also don’t like Neco playing that far forward, I don’t think he offers enough in that position. Much better as an attacking full back / wing back.

Wilson’s been the main positive, he’s been great

On second thoughts, I retract all of these criticisms. As others have mentioned, this pitch is so diabolically bad that you can’t read anything into the quality of play

[fiveattheback]

This ref, deary me. They've stolen ten yards on every throw, fouls missed, obvious cards not given. Shite.

FAW has to complain big time

the irony will be Turkey will get to play them on a real international pitch and wont do us any favours

[welshwhite]

That'll do Sorba, That'll do son

[dragon64]

Turkey 3-1 now

That'll do

[sparky1400]

Made hard work of that but a win is a win .

[dragon64]

yellow cards 4-2 to us LOL

[kracken88]

Hopefully we won't play on a swamp again any time soon

[hc16040]

Honestly everything about today was non league, we got the win and are building some positive momentum. Look forward to seeing more Bellamy ball in non third world shitholes

[melynwy]

I don’t think we can blame the players for that, first touch, control and judgement gies through the window in those conditions! Take the win and not look too much into it!
