Wales have lost one of their last 14 matches.


Wins against Montenegro, Gibraltar, Latvia, scudded off Slovakia. Drew with Gibraltar also.

Compared to where they were (8th in FIFA rankings 2015), they`ve plummeted.




What I laugh at is old coefficient old form and hearts can do something in Europe this season few decent results bangs it up but Scotland are just holding us back - Clark is abysmal as a manager and performances / results since we qualified for the euros (and in the euros) have been shocking given even lower ranked countries did better than us

They took 4 points from 6 against Croatia too.They obviously aren`t the same team without Bale but a ranking of 29th to our 51st isn`t bad.

I wasn`t comparing them to us. They won`t qualify for any tournaments anytime soon. Bale dragged them to tournaments in the past.

Wales win in Turkyie tomorrow and they are in pole position for promotion back to League A of Nations League………

Our reluctance to give young lads a chance at international level and stick with the old pals act over the years certainly hasn’t helped us. Too much nonsense of “wanting to protect the young lad” instead of giving them a chance.

Like Ben Doak with 8 starts in club football, currently winning his 5th cap?

Or Gilmour, who had started only a handful of games for Chelsea before his Scotland debut.

I love it when we go sell Kevin Nisbet,
He's gonna pay for everyone this season.

Wales have looked really good in the couple of games i`ve seen them under Bellmany, really seems to have put his stamp on the team; very direct and a lot of pace.

I`ll stick my neck out. They won`t beat Turkey.

I saw a good stat on Facebook, dont know how true it is, but said that of all the minutes played in the Scottish Premiership, most teams had less than 5% given to Scottish under 21s. 4 or 5 had 0% (both OF included). Most was Motherwell by quote some distance at 18%...

The chances are low but you never know. Good result for us tonight and Doak was a ray of light - glad Clarke has finally seen sense in playing him. Conway falling foul of all of our strikers of late of not having anything really created for them though.

If you removed Lennon Miller and David Watson then its extremely grim reading
