SUBSTITUTION

Connor Roberts is off for Sorba Thomas.

3-1-6 is it?

Sheesh.

Danny Gabbidon

Former Wales defender on BBC Radio Wales

Looking at the Wales players now, whether it's fatigue or thinking this game is done, there were a lot of Wales players walking there.

It's been a difficult night. They haven't shown enough in the final third.

SUBSTITUTION

Nicola Zalewski shoots wide for the visitors.

Sebastian Szymanski replaces Szymon Zurkowski.

The visitors are controlling possession at the moment.

Wales can't score without the ball.

Harsh.

I think Poland have looked pretty good.

Nathan Blake

Former Wales striker on BBC Radio Wales

What I would say, you don't need much to be a tier-one team in the Nations League, do you?

You look at this Polish team, Robert Lewandowski aside, and you wouldn't say there's a huge gap between them and Wales - especially when Wales don't have their strongest team out.

Wales have effectively five forwards on the pitch, but they can't get the ball to them.

Danny Gabbidon

Former Wales defender on BBC Radio Wales

Much better delivery from Dan James, into a dangerous area.

CLOSE!

Lovely delivery from Dan James and Wojciech Szczesny has to stretch to turn the ball around the post.

Joe Rodon heads the subsequent corner well over the bar.

Ben Cabango with a silly pull on Robert Lewandowski.

Lewandowski schooled him there.

Wales look a little disjointed without a midfield.

Nathan Blake

Former Wales striker on BBC Radio Wales

Rubin Colwill is definitely not a central midfielder. It looks like he is an a 10 position.

It's dangerous leaving Joe Morrell on his own in midfield.

Robert Lewandowski wins a corner from nothing. He's so, so good.

SUBSTITUTION

Dylan Levitt off for Rubin Colwill.

So it's 4-1-5, basically.

ALL. OUT. ATTACK.

Good luck to Joe Morrell, the one.

Nathan Blake

Former Wales striker on BBC Radio Wales

The problem is Gareth Bale. You know he can do magical things but you know he hasn't got the legs anymore. You want him in there.

Where do you play him?

Danny Gabbidon

Former Wales defender on BBC Radio Wales

I think if you are going to play Brennan Johnson from the start, you have got to play him wide.

I think that's where he is most effective, not as a more central striker.

Jordan James has represented England at youth level, so I think Wales capping him in the remaining 21 minutes is highly, highly likely.

Apologies if that's a spoiler. I could be wrong. I often am.

Nathan Blake

Former Wales striker on BBC Radio Wales

The substitution came a moment too late for me.

They haven't got much choice on the bench - maybe Rubin Colwill, or Jordan James.

We haven't seen James but you may as well throw caution to the wind if you are Rob Page.

The ball falls nicely on the edge of the box for Dylan Levitt, but it's a horrible shot.

Nathan Blake

Former Wales striker on BBC Radio Wales

It was the wrong decision that time from Brennan Johnson.

I love what he does, attacks the defender on the outside, but he needs to cross it there.

Brennan Johnson finds space on the right, beats his marker on the outside, but then he fires over and wide, rather than crossing.

A bit of a waste.

But Johnson is definitely looking Wales' most likely route to a goal.
