Anybody see today's match
I did. First half was crap; second somewhat better. Albania just wanted to kick us and screamed like stuck pigs when we kicked them back. How on earth Page isn't giving Cabango a run out is beyond me. Much prefer him to Mepham and he has that Swansea connection with Rodon and Connor who I assume will be starting. Useful exercise to give minutes to those who needed them but no more than that. And we certainly risked injury against that lot!

Agree on Cabango ... definitely as good as Mepham who's been playing Championship football himself; not as if he has recent Prem experience.

It’s all about giving his squad minutes to get match ready. Our Ben has minutes coming out of his ears.

But does Page know what system and players will start.
Seems to have something about starting (not) Kiefer Moore who has really proven his worth to this team. We always play better when he comes on but Page still won't start him. With James, Bale, Wilson and Brooks all capable of providing more than decent crosses, Moore would be really dangerous - and that's without taking into account his excellent holdup play that brings others into the game. I believe that had we signed Moore we'd be a Premier League team next season. Very, very good player.

If Ramsey, Bale and Allen are fit to play, with James and some solid defenders with Swans/Toshack pedigrees we should be in with a fighting chance of qualifying out of group and causing some misery to others along the way. Wouldn’t it be something if James, Rodon, Davies, Roberts, Cabango and Allen all featured and led the way.
Ward looks to be a top keeper.

Ash Williams is now Billy Big Balls in the media .... Why Wales need to forget 2016 - Williams
I'll NEVER forgive him for the part he played in Laudrup's dismissal. We are where we are because of the backstabbing that went on.

Good line-up, although I am biased and would play Cabango instead of Mepham.
Also, Joe Morrell? He hasn't played much last season and Harry Wilson would add much more up front. Joe Allen can play in the defensive midfield.
Have to stop Seferovic. 22 goals and 7 assists in 31 appearances last season for Benfica. As expected Shaqiri nr. 10 behind Seferovic and Embolo in 3-4-1-2.

Cabango and Brooks or Wilson to start for me. If Cabango started we'd have no less than SIX players with strong Swansea connections in the team. But fair play to Cardiff who are strongly represented by Bale, Ramsey and Moore. If we use him properly I think that Moore will cause a number of teams a lot of problems.

I'm waiting to see when Gareth Bale doesn't start to answer a question with; "Yes, no......."

Too ineffective in midfield. Ramsey is largely anonymous. We have two dangerous players in Bale and James and not getting them the ball.
Haven't found our rhythm yet and the Swiss looking the more dangerous. We need to up the tempo and get into the game. Now where have I heard that before?

We are out numbered in midfield even with Bale and James dropping deeper

Wales playing like the Swans ... passing is atrocious ... 32 of only 100 successful
