My issue isn't massively the results. Being in a group with Portugal, Norway and Denmark is tough.
It's more that there's no sign of anything good, especially in the last match.
Not going into tonight expecting a result but just want to see some positive signs in the performance.

This was Wales' first home fixture since Bellamy held talks over a potential move to Burnley in the summer.
If those discussions left bridges for Bellamy to build with some Welsh fans, this performance will have aided the repair job.
Since Bellamy oversaw a nine-game unbeaten run at the start of his reign, Wales had suffered eight defeats in 13 internationals leading into their meeting with a Norway side ranked 18th in the world, 20 places higher than their hosts.
Given the absences of influential players like Karl Darlow, Dylan Lawlor, Joe Rodon, David Brooks and Harry Wilson, World Cup quarter-finalists Norway looked like presenting a daunting challenge.
Yet Wales showed admirable resilience – and produced moments of quality - as they recovered from the shock of Bobb's early goal to deliver a victory which eases the pressure built up during their winless sequence even though they remain bottom of League A Group 4 at the midway point of the campaign.
While they were by no means perfect, Wales will hope this is a result which marks the start of a turnaround in fortunes as they prepare for another home game against Denmark on Sunday.
