Don't be fooled because Darcy starts for Wales.

If James Collins was fit he would play, if there was anyone else, they would play.


Wales won despite Darcy playing centre back, he wasn't very good.

How can you say that when Darcy has been one of the main reasons why Wales have played so well lately and he kept Rooney quiet? The way I see it, if Wales had Hudson, Gerrard, Keinan or Gyepes (too early to judge Turner) playing for Wales instead of Darcy, I am not sure Wales would have had 3 wins out of the last 4 games. I think Darcy needs a run at centre back, what better time than now to give him a go?

It's a shame Darcy picked up an injury, not sure it would be fair to give him a full 90 this Saturday after his recent injury, but I think Burnley in the cup would be a good time to give him a full game, and if he does well that game I would keep playing him.

I think with our full backs pushing forward more this season, it makes our centre backs even more vulnerable to pacey attackers as the full backs aren't there to sweep around and cover so often, so I think we need a pacey centre back and Darcy could be our answer if he's given an opportunity.

Well, Speed chose Darcy over Collins, even when Collins was fit.
