I'm being realistic. I'd have him no where near the f**king side. We'll start well first half and die the second. Or you never know it could be a Bosnia/Italy like performance. I don't care what anyway says, that Wales side without Bale are weaker then Scotland. King/Ledley in midfield. Lawrence is a championship player, in and around O'Dowda standard. That goal tonight was a joke. I'd start Hogan and Murphy with Brady and McClean on the wings. ------------- YBIG Resident Pilot |

Lawrence may be a Championship player but 6 players from that level started for us tonight. So, what's your point? King has a Premier League title winner's medal. There's zero chance of Hogan starting. We were two up and cruising, and he didn't make it off the bench. |

Biggest game since France 2016. Daunting prospect though. We need to envoke the spirit of the Ireland Rugby Grand Slam winning side of 2009 and beat the Welsh in their own backyard to take the carrot. |

. . . . . Randolph Christie. Duffy Clark ward . . Meyer. Hendrick . Brady. Hoolahan. McLean . . . . Murphy Odowda was good and maybe we better with 2 up top but that's not going to happen. Brady and McLean to switch wings and come in more central to switch things about. McLean can and has played as a striker |

A derby-style encounter against a Bale-less Wales in a probable tight match where most players have played against each other and know each other's game. The home side have a slight edge, but it could go either way. |

Huge game and hopefully the permutations in the next few days go in our favour. If they dont then we have Ukraine vs Croatia hopefully a draw the same night as us or the 183/1 shot. We beat Wales and Georgia beat Serbia. I think this will be the team: Randolph Christie Duffy Clark Ward Meyler McClean Arter Hendrick Brady Murphy 4-1-4-1 formation. Not saying thats what I would go with but I think this is the side MON will pick. Edit: pubes has informed me it is infact a 183/1 double. ------------- Walters coming back from an offside position but Shane Long was definitely onside- Shane Lonnggggggg.... has done it!!!! |

I'd give us more of a chance if Wales only needed a draw and they played with caution and we nicked a goal. The fact that they know they need to win to a) give them an outside chance of topping the group or b) get the last play-off place, I think them needing to win will mean we may get a bit of a battering and Wales can attack. We may be able to hold them off and even get a goal of our own, but they will keep coming the whole game. It kinda has the feeling to me that we are starting from -1 if that makes any sense I'd love to think we could do it but I think as much as people do not like to admit it, Wales are a better side than us, not as big of a gap without Bale but still a small level up and they are the home side.

Turkey are a far better side than Iceland on paper. Look what happened tonight. It's all about attitude. If we're giving up against a strike force of Hal Robson Kanu and Sam Vokes before a ball is kicked, then what's the point in going to a World Cup? |

Have to agree with others, its a huge ask to win in Cardiff. They are the form team winning their last 3 games conceding none.

Iceland outside of the obvious big guns, are possibly the most well oil machine in European football right now. They pick off teams at will, I think you're giving them a bit of discredit there. Turkey are still turning to Emre at 37!!!!

Yeah, exactly. Wales will fancy their chances and behind the scenes I'd imagine our players very much fancy their own. We're going over to play Wales in the Cardiff City Staduim, not Germany in the Berlin Olympic Arena. It's literally two teams who have a mix of poor premier league players, and decent championship players facing off - we shouldn't feel any inferiority. |

The players shouldn't give up and I am sure they won't but I just feel that Wales will create a lot of chances and our defence is not that good. On the flip side, we've been making very hard work of scoring latelly too. Iceland are surprising everyone, I went through their team today and it's crazy that they are able to pull off so many great results with players not playing at a massively high level. It's football, anything can happen. Wales are not Spain or Germany either. But i just feel it's too big of an ask with our current lot, I'd give us about a 20% of actually going and getting a win there. |

| Not negative just realistic. Wales got to the semi of the Euros, beating a very good Belgian side. They started this campaign poorly (a lot of nations who have a good tournament this often happens, it's like a come down) but they have really got their act together and I am a bit fearful of them now. Again, not germany or spain so we have a chance but it's very small |

I'm not particularly worried about what Wales might do to us at all. I'm confident we can limit their opportunities on goal and so on - the worry i have is that they are a very organised, very solid defensive unit and we suffer from a chronic lack of goals. If we had to get a draw out there i'd be fairly confident we'd do it without much hassle. I don't think we have it in us to break down their defence though. ------------- No thank you Turkish......I'm sweet enough |

Football is a funny old game.... Ashley Williams is playing for a team bang out of form. Listening to the Welsh commentary James Chester got caught out of position more than once tonight. The lad that got the goal was putting silly tackles in all over the place - the commentary team were waiting for him to be sent off. Its been a largely average group with 4 teams who are very evenly matched; and we've gained as many points away from home as at the Aviva.... what makes you so sure? |

| One thing that strikes me is that there is far more pressure on Wales in this one. If we lose or draw, we can say we gave it our best shot and we were playing away from home. For Wales to throw away a play off place at home though would be a massive disappointment for them. In theory, the pressure should be on both sides but the heavy burden of expectation is on Wales, no matter how much they try and talk things down beforehand. |

Really looking forward to Monday night! Firstly, I'm glad that we are not going into this having to win to finish second. As impressed as I am at our home form, I'm not always confident in our ability to put away our chances. However, I do feel we are capable of holding on for a draw at home. Thankfully Woodburn and Lawrence have come up with 2 cracking goals to seal wins that we needed. Tonight against Georgia wasn't the most impressive game I've seen us play, however I feel we deserved our win as we were solid (for most of the game at least), we looked calm (a bit unusual  ) and a few of our players stepped up, especially in the absense of Bale. For me our 2 stand out players tonight were Lawrence (even taking out his goal, he was my MOTM) and Joe Allen. Unfortunately I wasn't able to sit down and watch your game tonight, but from what I've heard it sounded fairly standard. Wrapping up the victory early in the first half, with the second half being scrappy with nothing much to write home about. I expect Monday to be a scrappy game for most of it, with neither team wanting to concede the first goal, and it opening up late on. I think both teams will have a fair number of chances, and it will come down to which team can put their chances away. I hope those of you travelling over enjoy your visit! If you have any questions feel free to ask me  Also, if things don't go our way and we do end up missing out, I hope you guys do go on to qualify and have a cracking time in Russia

Has anyone genuinely watched Wales the past few games and thought Wow, what a team.Theyve got lucky, Hennessy has saved their bacon, in 3 games. They somehow beat Austria with a wonderstrike. We also drew in Serbia 2-2, let's not get carried away. They've Ledley and King in midfield. Holy f**k men, we're stronger then that. Lawrence is their main goal scoring threat, Cyrus Christie can mark Tom Lawrence. Ramsey, it's fairly simple what's needed. Harry Arter leg breaker challenge similar to what he done v Moldova last night that'll put Aaron Ramsey in his box. We can certianly score, I don't see Vokes troubling Duffy aerially myself and Clark mops up dirty ball. It's up to MON, to best that lot. I'll be sickened if we dont go hell for leather against them, they're highly highly overrated without Bale their set pieces are sh*t. I'd have them on par with Slovenia at the minute maybe Bosnia. They're no were near the standard of The weakened Italian side we beat in the Euros. When we're in a corner we usually deliver. Hoofing it at Ashley Williams all night will be pointless, targeting Davies... now that wouldn't be a bad plan. And aerial balls to the wings hopefully that **** Taylor plays, we might get some Success aerially but it's going toccome mainly v McClean/O'Dowda/Wes driving st them and playing balls across for big Murphy. 2-0 Ireland.

http://apostlewelshfootie.proboards.com/post/144834/thread" rel="nofollow - http://apostlewelshfootie.proboards.com/user/428" rel="nofollow - dai said: This from a ybig forum member:'I don't care what anyway says, that Wales side without Bale are weaker then Scotland. King/Ledley in midfield. Lawrence is a championship player, in and around O'Dowda standard. That goal tonight was a joke.' LOL. I'm not getting arrogant, but I'd be very disappointed if we lost at home against Ireland now. Some of their fans were chucking the fact around that we haven't won without Bale since so and so, well another fact is that we've only lost once in the last 21 qualifying games. This is the same mouthy poster who I posted a link about the other day on Bale's injury ironically he gives his location as Southampton so has some English arrogance about him.

Randolph Cyrus--Clark--Duffy--Ward Brady--McCarthy(if not fit Arter)--Hendrick--McClean Long--Murphy This is what id like to see. It is close to team that played Italy. We showed that night we could play decent football against a good side with these players on the pitch. Brady and McClean should be raring to go. Wes misses out (like against Italy) but in the pocket to be sprung later in the game if we need goals along with O'Dowda and McGeady. |

Tough starting XI to call on Monday, back four and keeper are fairly settled at this stage. Main question is do we start Long and Hoolahan or do we spring them from the bench? Starting without them seems like a quite defensive team but I've a feeling both will impact the game more from the bench. I've a feeling MON will start Long. Brady and McClean being back will be huge additions to last nights team.

The fact we need to win gives me more hope than if we needed a draw. When we have the attitude that a draw will do us we usually play poorly. However when we need a win we play a whole lot better. So I don't think this will be a repeat of Glasgow, where it was a battle that we lost, but more like Lille, where we rode our luck but got over the line at the death. Wales have been in this position before. They had home games to qualify for Mexico '86 and USA '94, and on both occasions late goals knocked them out. If Ireland need a goal with 15 minutes or so left on the clock, you always think we'll score. Tomorrow we'll get to see if history can repeat itself for the Welsh. |

Should be in Ireland. If you're overseas you'll need a vpn. Maybe even in the north. -------------

| My genuine concern is that given my expectation that we will start a 4-5-1 tomorrow, I am concerned about the depth we will have to actually turn the game if it's going into the last 30 minutes and we need inspiration. If Wes starts, I feel it will be problematic if we don't score. If Long wasn't out of form I'd be less concerned, but I struggle to see where late inspiration may come from. |

| I wonder if our tactics will be more effective against Wales with the long balls. Serbia had a few giant defenders so it didn't work at all. Hopefully something comes of the long balls in Cardiff, a lucky bounce or mistake by a defender. |

Like Ashley Williams by any chance (considering the desperate form he's been in)?  ------------- The nation holds it's breath...YES, WE'RE THERE!!! |

Finally able to concentrate on tomorrow knowing a win will see us into the playoffs. I reckon it's going to be a cagey game to start off, with both teams sussing each other out. Chris Coleman said Wales are going to set up the same as the away leg and make it a physical game so this might not be one for the neutral. MON is in a bit of a tricky situation, if he starts an overly defensive team people are going to be critical that he is playing defensive in a must win game. If he goes gung-ho from the start, there is a chance that Wales will pick us off and it will be game over by half time. I think our best bet of winning is by keeping it tight in the first half and when grabbing a goal when the game starts to open up naturally. For this reason, I think Hoolahan would be best off the bench (doubt he will start anyway) and I would also spring Long from the bench in the second half, although not sure what MON will do. Hopefully Brady and McClean are fresh and feeling up for it, they are probably going to be our two biggest threats going forward for most of the game. I have a feeling it's going to be scoreless at half time and it's going to be watching behind the couch in the second half, where both teams know a draw is no good and anything can happen.

| He never seems to make subs until after the 70th minute or so, even when things are going terrible. If its not looking good I hope he makes the changes earlier. |

That's not correct. Apparently he's in Cardiff though, maybe that's what they mean.

You must be imagining things because he is definitely out. ------------- They've only gone and done it |
