Unfortunately the principle of "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all," really doesn't lend itself well to a live text report.
YELLOW CARD
Wales 0-0 Albania
Wales clear from a corner and almost counter-attack, but the move is broken down by Ardian Ismajli who is booked. Cynical.

A glorified training match.
The fans have yet to spark Wales.

I always like to see a striker, at least one striker.
When did strikers become obsolete? A number nine? Goalscorers?

We have got to change it. It's not working.
You have got to realise as a manager. If it's not working change it.
Has he got a plan B?

The visitors the better side.
Sloppy from Wales, they have created absolutely nothing so far.
CLOSE!
Wales 0-0 Albania
Rey Manaj should have put the visitors 1-0 up.
He's easily beaten Chris Mepham, but blazed his shot over when clean through on goal. Poor finishing.
'We don't look comfortable'

It's the first time I have seen us uncomfortable with the system.
We don't look comfortable with it at all.
As quality a player as Aaron (Ramsey) is, he is not quite sure what he is supposed to do.
You realise how well Harry Wilson does it. He really plays it well.

This Wales formation is fluid, even by their standards.
Robert Page had hinted in recent weeks he might try Aaron Ramsey as the false nine and the Juventus player has yet to really get into this game as he tries to adapt to his new role further forward.
It's all been a bit disjointed from Wales so far.

Great to see Wales' injury doubt players all starting, including Ethan Ampadu.
Wales yet to threaten, a poor game at the moment.

I think we are a little bit sloppy at times.
We have been caught in possession - Ethan Amapdu is the main culprit for me. We haven't started the way I would have hoped.
Dylan Levitt has got to get on the ball. I wish Aaron Ramsey would start a bit further forward and then drop into the spaces that appear. At the moment he is dropping too deep.
Back where they belong

There aren't many friendlies which generate an atmosphere like this.
Wales' fans are absolutely loving being back at Cardiff City Stadium, even if their team are taking their time to get a grip of this game.

Neco Williams and Ermir Lenjani have a little shoving match.
Bright start from Albania, they are clearly treating this friendly as an important game.

I think we are playing with a back three. Chirs Mepham in the middle and Ethan Ampadu on the right.
The most important thing is the quality Ben Davies gives you coming out from the back - absolutely superb.

David Brooks just can't latch onto a long ball over the top.
Brooks is obviously short of match minutes and presumably full confidence as he plays his way back from a long-term injury.
Such a talent when fit and firing.

It's great to be back hearing that noise, hearing the anthem.
It was worth coming just to hear that.
Post update
Wales 0-0 Albania
Aaron Ramsey appears to be the player playing furthest forward for Wales.
KICK-OFF
Wales 0-0 Albania
Was wonderful to hear the fans singing the national anthem again.
The players took the knee before kick-off, no booing.
We are under way.

I would approach this as a way of preparing for the first game in the Euros. I don't think it's time now that you are still picking and choosing.
I understand trying to get players minutes, but I would certainly be trying to start with my team I am looking to start with in the Euros, just to get some continuity.
But it's Rob Page's choice and we'll see how it goes.
