FT: North Macedonia 1 Cymru 1 | Att: 23,114 | The Official Match Thread | World Cup Qualifier

Bellamy is unbeaten!

Perspective needed. We should have been more ambitious tonight in my view as they were cack and we were right on top. It just needed a bit more oomph. We have journeymen and no real top quality players. Not one of ours would get a sniff with England or anyone at the first or even second rank. We’re doing ok. In fact, we’re doing fine.

Agreed, we are doing ok.

 

[Smurph]

Or take another angle, 2 points dropped that could've been the difference.. usual tow the party line that gets regurgitated by the all knowing on here

Maybe the party line is one of optimism and not pessimism.

Joey Allen needs to do the right thing.
Retire from international football.


Think people have got carried away with Bellamy early doors, it's helped him taking over from Rob Page who had us playing terribly.
That game should have been put to bed by 70mins if we had quality and composure.
Subs killed us and we got lucky with a point.

Should have had a recognised striker on from the off

Probably not much more, he is doing ok and will probably carry on doing ok for the team.

“Probably not much more” than being unbeaten in eight games. Sums up the mentality really.

If we were unbeaten in eight in the World Cup he'd find something to whine about.

Sorry, missed the sarcasm.

But players actively playing for a point? Letting teams come on to you, it was Macedonia we're playing, but people are hailing a point as if it was Germany in Munich or Berlin.. 2 points dropped for me, quite easily could've been 3.. until we realised we're losing and needed a goal

It's been 4 wins and 4 draws. The only result from those set of 8 games that you could argue we probably done better than expected was the draw out in Turkey.

Got away with one tonight, threw a 2-0 lead away against Iceland.
He's doing ok and you couldn't really ask for much more in reality but it's probably what is expected given the squad and opposition we have faced.

A bit of perspective is needed.

We have a team of benchwarmers, Championship and League One players. We don't have a divine right to beat anyone.

Just snatched a point against a team who haven't lost in 6,7 games.

How did we get on the last time we played Iceland?

Your off your head mush. Lovable. But mental.

Missed opportunity tonight for sure, we were on top and would have put the game to bed with a bit of quality.
I hate to say it but it was like the Luke Williams Swansea tonight and even the give the opposition a goal from a Swansea player cherry on top.
I thought the Kieffer Moore sub call was right but it killed our go forward in reality.

We're in League A of the nation's league for the second time.. we're ranked higher, Dan James played for Man Utd, Rodon played for Spurs, Ben Davies captains Spurs, Johnson is currently their best player.. Darlow played in the Prem, Neco Williams is chasing champions league places and played for Liverpool, Sorba and James play in a league superior to the championship.. perspective you say..
