He's first in for me if Edwards doesn't recover, but I struggled to leave anybody else out.

Every player I chose deserves a place in my opinion, need a 2nd out and out striker to Vokes so it was between Church and Bradshaw in that sense, and Vaughan or Huws was tough too but would go with experience.

Some very 50/50 choices to be had.
Without being pessimistic a lot of average player fighting for places.
Jazz Richard to me isn't great but done well for us where as matthews has done nothing.

Think I'd go with Huws over vaughan

Lawrence has to go through, if God forbid something happened to Bale he is the only player looking to carry the ball.

Jonny Williams and George Williams looked a lot better with the ball tonight than Lawrence imo

Yes Lawrence carries the ball but carries it where? What's the point of breaking the lines and gaining 20/30 yards to run into trouble? He was like Forrest Gump tonight.

Jonny Williams probably the most overrated Welsh player. Ever.

I like George Williams. This kid should be on the plane to France. No doubt.

Fair point but you still need options to stretch teams like Lawrence could. He has potential to explode.

I think you always take a few confidence wingers as you never know, carol Poborski (SP) made a career out of a tournament lol

I'd rather go young and trying tha experienced and safe especially in cm.

Think that's it .

Shows how weak we are upfront

Bradshaw should be with in a close call for the 23 man squad.

Definitely I think church will probably go as well, more of an out and out striker than Lawrence

What about Dave Edwards? had a superb qualifying campaign

Re: Your 23 man squad for the euros.

Looking at it, and I don't disagree with the 4 forwards being picked. I would like say how Simon Church has literally done EVERYTHING to try and get to France. He moved to Scotland on loan to get regular game time, scored goals for Aberdeen and playing very well up there with Aberdeen in a title race. Got the penalty and had the bottle to take the pen.

I know there will be disappointments, but if he misses out I will be a bit gutted for the lad as you can't deny he has been very determined in trying get a place.

Yes he has, listening to him last night he is only a few weeks away from playing, and I'm sure Kenny Jacket will be sympathetic in getting him game time before the season ends

Just a little mention for our academy of the 2000's. Graduates Collins, Gunter, Ramsey and Ledley are nailed on to go and start while Adam Matthews could make it 5 from that era.

It's time for our academy to get back to those fantastic heights.

Got to agree with that. Vokes wouldn't have won the penalty.

Bale
Ramsey
Ashley Williams

20 others.

Doesn't really matter who the other 20 are.
