It was always a tough ask to get something this game. Norway have much better players than us.

I think Ashford has more of a right to feel aggrieved, he's had a good season. Rubin was harshly treated when he was doing really well, so strange that he was included now when he's just come back from injury.

It's not just our players that should have been included though.

Why does he bring on Mark Harris all the time?

Why isn't Joe Taylor being included?

Why is Cullen starting?

And I'll never understand why the BBC are so scared to criticise him.

Not sure it's as simple as anti-Colwills and Cardiff....He just isn't a very good manager. This will be his pinnacle.

Aron Collins having a far better season than Harris yet Harris gets the nod , also rubin head and shoulders above cullen the way rubin moves with the ball put us on the front foot instantly ,bellars doesn't have a clue

Why isn’t he questioned by any of the reporters?

We no longer have gareth bale but we go a goal down and we bring on mark Harris to do f.ck all as usual and he also brings on Connor roberts,did Bellamy not see him give away a penalty against us saturday .
Rubin and brooks changed it up but it was to late with 15 mins to go.
Bellamy may start Rubin against Portugal but would not be suprised if he put sheean on instead of rubin as ampadu is suspended.

Think you are spot on

Bellwrs is a dead man walking as I'm sure he'll go when a good job comes slong? Besides not good for players having him linked to every other vacancy in EFL!

Re: I will state this now :

I dont think the Colwills are starters at this level, but Brooks not starting when Cullen is, is bonkers.

This Wales shouldnt be anywhere near Pot1, and none of the results have been a shock or a catastrophy. We are where we are.

Is he really genuinely linked, or is it press talk? Burnley were looking to rekindle the Kompany buzz, but i suspect Bellamy sensed it was going to be a tough gig.

Let's be honest, there will be very few DoF's or Owners thinking he'd be a solution above L1 after this stint.

Wales are now relegated from League A

Three points behind both Denmark and Norway with an inferior head to head record against each of them

I'm sure his stock as dropped because of this campaign! As for being wanted by clubs tbh there are only a couple im sure that he would think worthy of talking too regarding a vacancy.

We are a Pot B team. The downside of this competition for the smaller nations is that the rewards stop you using it as development matches, so friendlies with so little become pointless exercises and not an introduction but glorified pre-season type games.

I agree. Even against Norway - you can see our players are not a match for Haaland, Odegaard, Nusa etc.

We could have done things better today but at the same time we can't go to places like Norway and expect to get a result, it's a mismatch.

We simply dont have the quality throughout team ...in past years weve had wuality but perhaps not the manager to get us over line.... wc we had quality throughout team and a bonus in Bale! Tonight like other games we should have won but lacked a goalscorer or that extra quality to turn chances into goals... we are in-betweenies just not good enough to win sufficient games to stay up but good enough to keep getting promotion... i think this team is the poorest in a long time...
