Our central midfield looks so weak. Against Croatia we will be murdered. He has to put Ampadu in there.

Just on our way up to the Racecourse. Passing Edgar Street.. Its looking a tired old ground. Next up Gay Meadow in Shrewsbury. Though I think they got a new ground. Super Kev McNaughton scoring in the FA Cup. With thousands of City fans behind the goals and away seating. Not been to Wrexham ground since the 80s

They only lost 3-0 to Holland.

I personally think there will only be a goal in it.

Thankfully we have taken it seriously and it shows what I know about Page's team selection and tactics :D :D :D

HT 4-0

Very very easy for Wales, as Gibraltar can't even get out of their own half.

Been very impressed with Charlie Savage. Calm on the ball and can pick a pass, you can tell he came up through the Man Utd academy. Obviously it's only Gibraltar but a few Championship teams will probably ask Reading about him if he carries on like this.

Quite impressed with young Charlie Savage in midfield, looks very promising,

Not that you would know he was on the pitch by the amount of times he's been mentioned. That Savage is looking useful & could turn out to be a good player, a lot seems to go through him.

Cullen also has been good in the middle both him snd savage left footers and have liked broadhead from ipswich

FT 4-0.

Good performance by Wales and some well taken goals against a very poor Gibraltar team.

Now to the real test against Croatia at CCS on Sunday night.
