Match Thread: " Wales v Denmark " Match Thread

After a decent opening 15minutes, Wales have been second best for the 30 minutes or so. The way we try to play the ball out of defence when we are closely marked, leaves a lot to be desired, and we have been lucky to not concede a goal. The starting eleven selected by Bellamy is extremely puzzling, with Daniel James being omitted for Johnson especially so. Over the last two matches we have had some great crosses, which would have been ideal for Moore. We need to make at least three changes for the 2nd half, otherwise we shall definitely be relegated. I sincerely hope that won’t happen - come on Bellamy!!

Was always going to be tough to follow up the energy from the Norway game, but I don’t think Bellamy helped matters with his subs.

DJ obviously couldn’t come on, because you’d imagine he would’ve been the obvious choice otherwise.

I just didn’t really understand the changes. I’d have gone Moore, Ashford and Colwill for Jordan James, Koumas and Cullen.

The penalty was a stinker and obviously a big moment in the game, but he also made two great saves and we could’ve easily been 2-0 down by then anyway.

Just felt like the changes made us worse rather than better, and unfortunately it’s not the first time that’s happened with Bellamy’s subs.

Only one person to blame for that display and defeat - Craig Bellamy! His team selection was pathetic, and his substitutions were just as bad. Why leave it so late so to bring Kieffer Moore on, and what is worse, why wasn’t our most dangerous forward against Norway, Daniel James, not brought on at all? If he was injured, why put him on the bench? As feared in my earlier post, our dreadful, dangerous passing out of defence, cost us the match - I felt sorry for Ward, as he had kept us in the match! The referee didn’t help either, as he gave us nothing, and the penalty was dubious in my opinion.

Craig Bellamy suggested the new four-match international window had counted against Wales after Sunday's Nations League defeat against Denmark.

His side failed to build on Thursday's win over Norway as they were deservedly beaten thanks to a second-half Rasmus Hojlund penalty.

It was a third loss in four games played inside 10 days as part of the newly elongated international break.

Head coach Bellamy said his injury-hit squad paid the price for the heavy workload he feels benefits the bigger nations and "puts a real stress" on countries like Wales.

"Physically, I completely agree with the ones who don't like [the new window]. It makes no sense," he added.

"Four games at this type of level… for the other nations, we know who they are because I was in the room when they all voted for it.

"I was one of the ones who wasn't [voting for it], because we know it's a complete disadvantage to us."
