That’s here —> Bellamy & latest news
On his progress he said. "We're looking for consistency in the game. I do understand it, but that's what we're pushing for over a longer period, both with and without the ball. We've managed to put ourselves in a position of being two goals up in the last two games. In both, we had two huge opportunities to make it 3-0” Tonight is a real opportunity for Bellamy to make a statement for Wales as they conclude four games in the League B(4) Currently undefeated the objective this evening has to be ‘ Do not lose’ …
Robert Prosinečki Is the Montenegro head coach, he has some decisions to make but will be without Milutin Osmajic (below) who has two yellow cards. He is the guy who had a nibble at Owen Beck (now back with the senior squad) in the recent Preston v Blackburn game and was banned for eight games.
Prosinečki has guided his side to five defeats out of five, and tonight for them means they really have to go out for the win as they are fast reaching relegation to League C.
There is no appeal system in place so Brennan Johnson and Jordan James will sit this one out after reaching two yellow cards which is met with a one game suspension.

Burnley 1 Swansea City 0 : Timid and listless Swans beaten at the death If anyone’s wants proof that shopping for players on low salaries in the Championship doesn’t pay off then it was evidenced today. Despite a very competent back four and keeper the rest of the team was sour and lacked any punch or awareness in controlling a football. Persistently caught offside or tripping over the ball, giving it away or relying on Myles Peart-Harris and a tired Ronald just wasn’t going to work.
