Chris Coleman not picking the best 11 !

Neil Taylor needs to be dropped before this tournament ends. His performances defending and attacking have been shockingly bad. England's full backs gave them a huge advantage over us.

James Colllins played almost every game for West Ham, but, can't get a starting berth with us

here's my team, Hennessy doesn't look fit to me, beaten on the near post, I think he's better than that

Not against Collins coming in but personally I think both our full backs were poor, Gunters was awful and his crosses distribution don't get any better, the way he was thrown off the ball for the winner not strong enough, could drop both/either.

Agree, Davies is the only player in the squad capable of playing on the flank and doing a decent job at it, but Coleman decided he'll play out of position

After looking at this I think team selection is safe in Colemans hands.But well worth a sticky though.

I have the power to make my own posts stickies, wahahaha!

You don't think our ONLY good wide player should be given that role in the team?

Why isn't andy king playing

Another high achiever not getting a chance, 25 apps for the PL Champions, we have PL players that clearly Coleman is neglecting

Both Taylor and Gunter were abject against England, so agree it might be time to try something different.

Play 4-2-3-1 . Wing backs are not working. Richards and Davies fullbacks , or keep Gunter right back . Bring in Jonny Williams, who has looked good.

Chris Coleman has taken us to within one game of qualifying for the last 16 he must be doing something right

All I can say is look out Trollope.After one defeat lets ditch everything that got us here.

I don't think we should ditch everything that got us to this position, but we are being found out in certain areas and we probably can't afford to lose our last game.

I think it's funny how some of you were saying Wales were world beaters after the first game and now so many are whingeing after a late loss against a country with more than 15 times more citizens to choose from than Wales!

I'm not a big international fan, but Chris Coleman and his players got Wales to Euro 16 in the first place when so many others (managers and players, which included the so-called legend but part-time Wales participant from Salford) in the past didn't!

Two games, three points and a game against a poor to date Russia where a draw will see Wales through to the last 16

Several players were overwhelmed by the occasion and the captain was responsible for the first goal, but did people get on their back? Not that I saw anyway. They remained behind their team until that late second goal from a pretty good England in the second half!

Woy was worried! It was all over his face for the whole game! "Where's my P45?", he asked himself and the relief on his face when the little fella scored his winning goal was culpable and there for all to see!

Wales battled hard, scored a fabulous goal through their talisman Gareth Bale (although Ramsey was my Wales Man of the Match by far) and I think the whole team (manager, coaches and players) will reflect on that game and draw more positives than negatives....fortunately unlike many of you!

Let Coleman select his side, get behind the eleven on the field at any given time of the game versus Russia and just be grateful Wales are there and putting up a good show to date!

Some of the responses smack of whingeing because Wales unluckily lost a game against a bigger nation

I am in the mood for an internet scrap, I am sitting in a darkened room with my gum-shield in

I am not worried if it wasn't aimed at me or not Sven, If you think we couldn't of beaten England, I disagree ! Taylor is pants and should not be on the pitch for the next game. Every tournament, every nation usually drops a player from the starting 11, ours is Taylor

taylor was out of his depth and a major weak link which england exploited time and time again. he was up against kyle walker who had him on toast all afternoon.

perhaps sick note james collins could come in and davies take taylors place at left back? that said russia will not pose the same threat as england but they would certainly have seen taylor being taken to the cleaners against england.

Spot on. And just like down the city, let's lose a game and demand changes . People with better knowledge sat in stands or watching on tv

Correct, he got absolutely battered the whole match. Delivery from wide areas nowhere near the required level, and that's putting it kindly

LOL I get like that, fella! I think it's being locked up in annis' dark dungeon with nothing but stale bread and rain water for 23 hours a day!

I think Wales SHOULD have beaten England and were well on course, despite England's massive improvement in the second half. However, I just think it's harsh to single out players (even our English captain ) who did so well in one game and then battled so hard in the next.

Whilst I don't necessarily disagree that there are players who perhaps should be in the tam from the start (I would have liked to have seen Andy King start and Simon Church brought on in the second half) I think we should accept that Coleman has got Wales to the tournament and we should go with his selections

Wales have nothing to fear versus Russia, if the players approach the game in the same manner as they did in the previous two and I look forward to seeing Wales in the 'knock out' stages

That's fair enough, I did miss a trick before though, Taylor should be our sacrificial lamb imo

Didn't N.Ireland make 5 changes to the losing team and won the next match against the odds?

I am only wishing for 1 change to the line-up

Let's see what happens, Coleman won't change the line-up is my gut feeling

He has'nt exactly got a wealth of talent to choose from. One world class player, two or three decent players and the rest of the team are average at best. We've done well to get this far, and already have two more points than I thought we would get from our qualifying group. I never thought we had a hope of progressing from our group, but at least with one game to play we are still in the mix. I think most of the players would have taken that before the competition started.

Why on earth is this a sticky? You have already said this on many threads today anyway.

There are so many stickies on this forum at all times anyway without stuff like this, most of them absolute rubbish too or misleading half written headlines baiting for a click. You have to scroll half way down the page to find the first active topic.

By all means put up a topic amazingly suggesting we should change system and personel halfway through a major tournamnet ditching what has got us to within a whisker of the last 16. But dont ho ahead and make it a bloody sticky ffs. I think the mods need a refresher course or a revamp, it has got terrible recently. Attitudes as well as messing up the way the board reads in the name of personal ego. Not specifically targetting Thomas here, many do at the moment it unfortunately.

It pains me to admit this, I did not make my own post a sticky. I wouldn't do that unless I thought it was brilliant what I have written, and to date, that has never happened before

Mods feel free to take away the post from sticky as I'm not doing it.

As I said, I wasn't singling you out specifically. But I've read this same opinion from you on nearly every Wales related thread that I have read this afternoon, even if the topic had nothing to do with this opinion. So why any mod believed it worthy of a sticky is what I am questioning, far too many stickies these days and half of them are truly inane or half titled to encourage a click. It never used to be like this, can't understand what has triggered the change.
