    Harry Wilson has scored in each of his last three international appearances and could become the first Wales player to score in four straight appearances since Ian Rush in February 1983.

    In the Premier League, he has scored three goals in seven appearances so far this season for Fulham.

    All three goals have been in the month of November, in victories against Crystal Palace and Brentford.

    Chris: Most suitable opposition for your England Jones XI #bbcfootball … a Rest of the World Jones XI? (Ok, Wales +):

    Brad Jones (Aus, 2007-18)

    Joey Jones (Wales, 1975-86)

    David Jones (Aus, 1977-78)

    Charlie Jones (Wales, 1926-33)

    Bryn Jones (Wales, 1935-48)

    Vinnie Jones (Wales, 1994-97)

    Jordan Jones (N Ireland, since 2017)

    Cliff Jones (Wales, 1954-69)

    Coni Jones (USA, 1992-2004)

    Jimmy Jones (N Ireland, 1956-57)

    Steve Jones (N Ireland, 2003-07)

    With apologies to the ex-Southampton and Wolves keeper Paul Jones but it was looking a bit Wales-heavy. Should be a good game.

    Former Manchester United striker and recent interim boss Ruud van Nistelrooy has just posted on X.

    He's written: “To everyone at Manchester United Football Club, in particular the backroom staff, the players and the fans, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your incredible efforts and support.

    "Man Utd will always have a special place in my heart, and I hope there are many more glory days at Old Trafford very soon - not only because I want the club to do well, but because you all deserve it!"

    Wales

    Wales boss Craig Bellamy on playing a match in Turkey: "The intense atmosphere, that adds to it, it adds to it being a really exciting game. Can we dominate the tempo of the game? Can we quieten them? It's always difficult when we come to these countries but can we have a good 10 to 20 minutes, it's going to be a real tough period. But then the game will start. I want the team to feel like winning the game, no matter who it is. Everything we do in training, it's to win. Of course I have to show respect but we have come here to win. Whether that is possible or not, we will find out."

    Thanks Daniel. I can't seem to find much info on George Jones' England youth career.

    Does anybody remember watching him play? Or maybe they know/knew him. He is still alive.

    Looks like you need a forward. Did a little digging - try George Jones, born 1945, a forward who scored in U-18 games against Netherlands (twice) and Switzerland. Played mostly for Wigan Borough in his senior career.

    Turkey v Wales (Sat, 17:00 GMT)

    Wales

    Wales boss Craig Bellamy on how important this match is in terms of Nations League promotion and for the World Cup: "There's six games to prepare for a World Cup no matter what scenario, what can we do in these six games that gets us closer but it's realistic and a good opportunity to qualify for the World Cup. Now so far so good. That's what makes tomorrow evening so good because it's what will allow us to shorten that gap. I don't know how this is going to go. I'm so looking forward to it, if you've got to qualify you've got to come to these places. We will know a lot more about ourselves tomorrow evening, and then the next game. We just have to keep building, keep improving and allowing us to reach our ultimate goal, which is to be in the World Cup."

    Thanks Sam, you make a strong point.

    Just joining us? We're reacting to last night's win for England in Greece.

    What did you make of England's performance and should Harry Kane be starting against the Republic of Ireland on Sunday?

    We're also covering Wales boss Craig Bellamy's press conference ahead of his side's match in Turkey tomorrow (17:00 GMT).

    Plus, with Curtis Jones becoming the ninth Jones to play for England, we're after suggestions to fill our fantasy England Jones XI.

    I understand where people are coming from with Kane. We do look a better pressing team, and the midfield in particular look more cohesive defensively, when Watkins leads the press. What I don't understand is why the frustration is aimed at Kane personally? And why some want him cast aside. It's the responsibility of the coaching staff, those playing behind him, to understand how to press on different triggers when Kanes on the pitch. Surely the answer is to be able to press properly when he's playing? That way we can get our best goalscorer on the pitch. It's not Kane' responsibility to fix that. Stop blaming him, he's been a great player for England

  13. 'Difficult game' against Turkeypublished at 11:50 Greenwich Mean Time 15 November 2024

    Turkey v Wales (Sat, 17:00 GMT )

    Wales

    Wales boss Craig Bellamy on playing against Turkey: "It's a really good challenge and of course it was positive for us in our first game, it was my first game. The first look at the players against a really good opposition like Turkey. Especially off the back of their outstanding European Championship. It was always going to be an interesting test, a difficult test. It's a very good manager, a very good team. It was a good game for us, it was a good starting point for us.

    "This game coming up now, another difficult game, coming to a country that is passionate about football as Turkey is, it's always harder. It really is. The atmosphere tomorrow will add to it. This is good, this is so so good. Will we be able to play how we want to play? That will be the test."

    I hadn't though about managers. England do have a coach called Chris Jones.

    There's also Welsh manager Nathan Jones, or ex-Wolves and Cardiff boss Dave Jones.

    England have got to be right up there with any nation in world football in terms of squad depth.

    If Bukayo Saka is out, Noni Madueke can come in. If Jude Bellingham is out, Phil Foden comes in. It goes on and on.

    Now it's about the trust in the manager.

    If somebody is coming in instead of you, you want them to do well, but not too well, because you want your position back.

    But if you are assured by your manager that you are all going to be playing your part, there is real trust there and the players will buy into it.

    Re Joe in South Australia at 10:35. We were holding onto a narrow 1-0 lead and relying on several great saves by Pickford before Kane came on. Strolled to a 3-0 win after he was brought on. Not sure how that is looking a better team without him.

  19. What happened when Wales last played Turkey?published at 11:27 Greenwich Mean Time 15 November 2024

    In early September, Wales gave an exciting glimpse of what the future may hold under new head coach Craig Bellamy, even if the fixture did end up finishing in a 0-0 draw.

    Aaron Ramsey and Joe Rodon missed two glorious chances and Sorba Thomas had a first-half goal disallowed.

    Turkey's Baris Yilmaz was sent off in the 62nd minute but Wales couldn't capitalise at home, against 10 men.

    Craig Bellamy's side are away to Turkey tomorrow at 17:00 GMT, and could go top with a win.
