Bellamy has serious questions to answer. Nobody wanted this friendly. Not now, at this stage of our development. Defending is piss poor. Brennan going absolutely nothing to help out Neco who has a 2 v 1 every time of Gordon and Spence running at him freely.

This is something bellers learned then from game then and undoubtedly bit more as well.... but both managers wanted the game so what fans want is irrelevant ..

Neco Williams having to deal with Gordon and Spence on his own was ridiculous.
These are two players that are playing in the Champions League and he needed help from Johnson, who was lazy again.

Johnson has been poor for Wales for a while now, I wouldn't be bothered to see sorba start ahead of him Monday, a front 3 of sorba kiefer and Brooks with Wilson behind them

Bellamy actually spoke really well (again) after the game. He said he wanted to see where we were at.
The primary purpose of this match for Wales was to prepare for Monday's World Cup qualifier against Belgium. If Bellamy picked England to learn how his players would cope against world-class opposition, he got an emphatic answer at Wembley.
"I'd like our egos to be hurt. I'd like us to be annoyed," he said. "It's why I wanted this game. We need to see where we are.
"We can play Lithuania if you want, and that's no disrespect to them, but then we'd have loads of the ball and then try to break them down.
"It's where do we want to go? Who do we want to be?
"Today, even now, just fills me with motivation but Monday [is] a different game. Learn from this, [learn that] we don't want this feeling again. You can use it.
"Once you get your arse kicked you learn the most - and I got my arse kicked."Read here:

Johnson should not be in the starting 11, make him work for it. He's been dreadful for Wales.

Craig Bellamy was his usual refreshingly honest self; and that’s why he should have been the main target as Bluebird boss!
I/we (or some of us at least) understand why that was never likely to happen under the current leadership, but his name should be the first in the hat at some point in the future!
Watched the game until 3-0 and Wales simply didn’t look interested, so being a school night, I convinced myself I was in the Family Stand and walked away early!

Johnson and Spence both play for Tottenham should know each others game .
