To avoid one of those Squeeky bums this campaign Wales have to look at this fixture as three points in the bag. If there is a bag, some would say other things. Pot ? Could be.

Three Swansea players on the pitch at the same time and a half fit Joe is better than Colwill. Says everything when you compare Swansea and Cardiff. |  | | |

Colwill has been messed around by Matt Jones and Bellamy and missed the last four rounds of Wales u21 games having put them top of the table.
He has dropped out of the away Slovakia match with "illness". The FAW could not even do the paperwork to allow him to play.
It is criminal the way the young Neath talent has been treated. [Post edited 14 Oct 21:25]

Our play in the final third was poor this evening, should have won the game much more comfortably. |  | | |

Like the professionals that left SIX players illegible for a crunch fixture. Matt Jones only needed to set up a team and put his best player on the pitch. Koumas another u21 spending his time sitting down.
Wales clearly did not want the u21 to qualify. They never have and never will with this illogical management. | |

Clearly Bellamy doesn't think he is good enough at the moment. Apparently selfish, lacks team discipline and gives the ball away to easily for Bellamy. | | | |

Good in parts, but reminded me of the Swans in some ways. The national team lacked a goalscorer upfront, and were always going to need a mistake or a pen to get on the scoresheet. Held on well, and the Swansea lads all did okay. Some of those who couldn't play will give us a bit more as an attacking force. but the squad is thin in some positions. Pity about the late Turkish goal in the other group game. | | | |

That's what happens when players are trying too hard they just don't see all the options,Cullen had the pull back straight into his oncoming stride for a shot but think it was Wilson cut across him blocking a shooting opportunity as he took possession of the ball stupid.
Game won but it should have been easier. [Post edited 14 Oct 21:54]

Wales seem a lot more fluid in recent games with Ollie Cooper
The forward player needs more composure and better technique on breakaways. The object is to fan out not converge. Michu was brilliant at this.
Welsh player all converge on the ball with def meets and get hustled off the ball or fall over each other feet. | |

Canango looks a great centre half, he has size, doesn't have much pace but his footballing brain is getting better and better, cullen looks sharp along with cooper on Friday, Allen's 25/30 would have done him the world of good.
So internationals are quite good now aren't they ππ | | | |

they are ok but as someone said tonight was similar to watching us play.
Tonights game had similar stats to our recent matches yet folk are cooing over this yet castigate Williams... | |

Cabango has lost a little weight seems a little more nimble lately meaning he doesn't get the ball stuck between his feet as often and gets the pass away quicker and cleaner, he has managed to get a head of steam up at times covering down the line well on the right, but as a big man he is always going to struggle with quick footed speedy players turning him but his recovery challenges seem to be quicker in reaction time than they were, a little more experienced?

You think we'd look after him
He should already be on extended contract

9 former or present Swans in that squad tonight, plus a 10th in Mark Harris born in Swansea. |  |

Just back from the game, not seen any highlights etc but agree with a lot of whatβs been said here. Thought a weakened Wales team played well in the first half, took the game by the scruff and were very much on top. Second half was like ground hog day in Reykjavik last week, Montenegro had us on the back foot and could have scored. Overall we were the better team and deserved the 3 points, but it could have been different.
At times Wales wanted to pass the ball in to the net when a bit more urgency and a shot could be a better option. Thought the Swans contingent (current and former) gave a good account of themselves, special mention in dispatches for Cabango and especially Josh Sheehan. A decent crowd of 27,600 which is pretty respectable for a Monday night.
We need to work on our goal threat because we could easily have beaten TΓΌrkiye if we had a bit more firepower up front. Bellamy has work to do, but I feel heβs moving in the right direction. | | | |

I can see the thread on Joe Allen has been locked, I was just going to add his presence brings a lot to the squad, he did really well tonight after he came on. Steadied the ship and gave the players around him confidence. Without doubt an asset to the team. | | | |

Going slightly off Wales and on to the Swansβ¦.
I actually think Williams is doing a very good job with the squad heβs got. Certainly better points and performance wise than either Martin or Duff, both of whom had stronger squads.
But it was noticeable that Allen and especially Cullen looked better last night than they do for the Swans. Appreciate Cullen was playing deeper, but they both seem better in a team playing with more freedom and maybe less pre orchestrated training ground moves.
Same could be said for Ollie Cooper in the games under Bellamy, although heβs still been very good for us. Cabango has been superb all season and was again last night. | | | |
