I say a must win game

Today is a must win game for Wales, even though we have so far only played 3. A win for Serbia would see them surge 5 points in front of us and would leave us needing to win at least 5 out of our 6 remaining games to catch them, you would think.

The biggest question mark is over who replaces Ben Davies in the team, as James Collins is out also. The most likely solution with our remaining options is Paul Dummett to slot in on the left side of the 3.
Another option I'm sure Coleman has considered is James Chester to move to the left, with Gunter slotting in at RCB and Adam Matthews coming in as a surprise choice at wing back. Funnily enough the last competitive game Matthews played in was the 3-0 defeat against Serbia at home 3 years ago. We may also see us go to a flat back four instead with Andy King or Jonny Williams coming into the midfield.

Whatever the case, we certainly need a result. A draw wouldn't be disastrous, but wouldn't be that beneficial either as we only have 2 home games left after tomorrow night - against Austria and Ireland in the Autumn of next year. A win would likely see us go top of the group as I fancy Austria to beat Ireland at home tomorrow.

As it stands:

1. Serbia 7
2. Ireland 7
3. Wales 5
4. Austria 4
5. Georgia 1
6. Moldova 0

Even though it is early in the group stage I agreee that this is a must win for us tonight.

The draw against Georgia was a poor result and we are home the tonight so for me maximum points is a must.

Sounds crazy saying it though but we would face a huge challenge to progress out of the group if we lose tonight.

Aye,wouldn't wan't to heap pressure on the lads but we can't afford to lose touch with the 2 above us.

I said after the Euros that we are lucky enough to have been around at the right time to see Wales reaching the semi finals of a major competition, just as those who were around in 1958 had something to be proud about. I think it may be a long time before anyone will experience that sort of success again, and perhaps while we all want a repeat performance, we should'nt raise our hopes too much. Won't be easy today, and I would'nt be surprised if this match end up all square.
