Agreed on Connell. Needs to grow his hair again and get back to peak Nedved look.

He looks a good player. Young Norwich centre half looks a great prospect too

Nice to see them get a win. Omabamidele looks a fine prospect played for Norwich this season would be no harm for him to go out on loan next year like McGuinness did if the manager has no plans to introduce him as a 3rd/4th choice CB. 

Noss showed proper football intelligence too. Be interesting to see will he get a break into the Monchengladbach first team or will he look to get a move somewhere like a Bundesliga 2 team on loan/permanent. Midfield struggled early but got a real foothold as the game went on.

Wouldn't object to that.
Showed real ability in gale-force conditions.
And plays regular 1st team football, albeit in the 3rd or 4th tier in Germany.
Hope to see him move up a level next season.

He'd be going that direction anyway, ach sure we can just drop him home afterwards.

In all seriousness i dont think connolly will be the only drop out after the luxembourg game. So might be an opportumity for a few.

Might be some truth in that. I understand that this is a first u21 cap for the whole Wales starting 11. 

Other than Keyode I don't think we're missing anyone.

obafemi, smallbone, coventry (mipo if he stays) would be main omissions

Collins too.
We're stacked with quality at the CH position for the next generation it seems.
Both lads today looked v good and Collins is a step above them again.

Hodge to come into the squad, and Coventry too most likely.
V strong midfield options when you consider the three lads today were good and you'd expect Smallbone to walk into the starting 11.
Old Coventry too as the most experienced of them all at this level.

I'd have Parrott back down here if he's not going to make matchday 23s.
Afolabi scored and really should have had a 2nd but he's 3rd choice behind..er....Voldemort (if he returns) and Kayode.
And Parrott if he stepped back.

A lot of negativity on the first 5 or so pages of this thread! Suprise supprise. Practally a whole brand new 21s team, obviously they were going to struggle a bit to be cohesive right from the off. 

Fair play to them for grinding a win out

It’s testament to the work that has been done in the underage set ups where we can beat Wales 2-1 away from home in what looked like to be one windy hole of a spot and still have played fairly average while missing a good few players. Our last u21 squad was fairly exceptional with 12 already having been part of the senior squad. A lot of them still qualify for this u21 side also. If we got even 3/4 more players to a standard where they could get a place in senior side it would be brilliant. The previous u21 side under Noel King the only members included were O Hara, Manning, Curtis and Cullen. Noss, Connell, McGuinness and Watson seem to be the most promising of today’s group

Just had a look again as I couldn't remember the negativity and after looking at again, I still don't see where you are coming from.

We're sorted with himself and O'Shea at the back for the next number of years and with some other outstanding replacements a year or two below them. 

We've five or six young centre halves who you would back to have decent Premier League standard careers.

The nadir type vibe at the moment is due to what’s gone on off the field and the lack of talent being developed in recent years. 

It’s starting to be developed again now which might take time to see but in 4/5/6 years time this combined with the 98-01 generation which has broken through at a nice quantity now will hopefully be replicated by those from the 02,03,04,05 groups and so on. Then you will see a team and a bit of depth appear.

Bazunu,Rose,Collins,Smallbone,Coventry,Parrott
,Odubeko,Idah,Obafemi,Kayode amongst the names missing for that side today and I may have missed one or two more of course Knight and one or two others with the senior squad. 

Joel Bagan at Cardiff another one missing today and he is declaring for us by all sorts of accounts far more concrete then Finn or Odubeko whenever his shoulder injury clears up. 

Hes an all merciful prospect I think. He’s surely a shoo in for that summer tournament if he does.

If it was first team football his team wouldn't have a II on the end of it. Appears to have scored one goal at German regional league level at the age of 20. Fair chance we're not losing him to Deutschland

It's still 1st team football.
He's playing in a competitive league like, say L1 or L2.

Did Luca Connell break a sweat in the second half? Seemed to always be in the right place
