Wales v England

Thu Aug 28, 2014 1:28 pm

Having seen their squad I don't think there's too much between us these days. If we were in the same group I honestly think we could challenge with them looking at the 2 squads

............Hennessey
Matthews Williams Chester Davies
............Allen......Ledley
Bale.............Ramsey......J.Williams
...................Vokes

Not to mention the likes of Gunter, Davies, Collins, Vaughan, King, Robson Kanu who are all decent players and a lot of upcoming talent with John, O'Sullivan, Tom Lawrence, Emyr Huws George Williams, Harry Wilson etc.

..................Hart
Johnson Jagielka Cahill Baines
...Wilshire..Barkley..Henderson
Sterling.....Rooney....Sturridge

Other than a few obvious ones like Goalkeeper and strikers I don't really see much of a difference there. Very optimistic for the qualifiers :ayatollah:

First 11 is good

But when players pull out because they will what's our back up

We lack a good striker aswel

Huge Gap in Depth I remember when we beat Italy 2-1 that starting 11 was the strongest I've ever seen of any Wales team.
I don't think we ever fielded that exact team again due to injuries and pull outs

As you both pointed out depth is our weakness. Hopefully that will sort itself out in time with our younger players getting better. Luckily we don't rely on any older heads, Ashely Williams is our most senior player and he's only 30. Got to feel with our team at the moment, with an established premiership striker we could be a class team

I know he's not premier league, but that Cardiff striker could do?
