    We're getting a bit more momentum so a positive attacking change would do us good.

    I'd be looking to bring on Neco Williams or Nathan Broadhead soon, they both add a real attacking threat and some pace which I think is what we need.

  3. Johnson missingpublished at 59 mins

    Wales 1-2 Armenia

    Wales have to find a way of getting Brennan Johnson into this game.

    He has the pace and finishing ability to cause any defence problems but he has been anonymous since the opening 15 minutes.

    I'd like to see Wales do a bit more passing and movement a few more patterns of play rather than looking for the cross every time.

    I know they need to get crosses in for Kieffer Moore but he can also be a foil.

    Chris Mepham and Neir Tiknizyan square up.

    There's not much in it, the crowd enjoys it and both get a ticking off.

  6. Close!published at 56 mins

    Wales 1-2 Armenia

    Conor Roberts was inches away from connecting with Dan James' drilled cross.

    Any contact would have put that in the net.

    Oh hang on, Latvia have equalised.

    Turkey still leading 1-0 against Latvia and are topping Group D.

  9. Postpublished at 51 mins

    Wales 1-2 Armenia

    Harry Wilson and Dan James have been firing in a constant supply of crosses but Wales have failed to convert.

    Joe Rodon and Kieffer Moore the main culprits.

    The game plan is clear... but manager Robert Page can't head the ball into the net for his players.

    Wales 1-2 Armenia

    Dan James wriggles clear down the left, delivers the ball into the box but Kieffer Moore can't get a clean shot.

    Wales 1-2 Armenia

    Dan James is hauled down just outside the the left-corner of the Armenia box.

    Harry Wilson and James both eyeing this up.

    It's Wilson to the far post but Joe Rodon heads wide... again.

    How many times have I written that already this game.

    Wales 1-2 Armenia

    After Wales have faced Armenia and Turkey in their effort to get to the top of Group D, their captain Aaron Ramsey will begin his own mission to scale a summit of a different kind.

    The Nice midfielder is taking on the Three Peaks Challenge for charity,, external which will see him climb Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon).

    However Wales have got their own mountain to climb over the next 45 minutes!

  15. Brooks cherishes Wales return after cancerpublished at 20:47 British Summer Time 16 June 2023

    HT: Wales 1-2 Armenia

    What a great story this is. If you've got five minutes to spare during half-time, have a read.

    David Brooks was diagnosed with Stage Two Hodgkin lymphoma in October 2021 and has not featured for his country since Wales were beaten 4-0 by Denmark at Euro 2020.

    But fresh from returning to action for Bournemouth, Brooks is now ready to make his mark on the international stage once again.

    "It's a very nice feeling, my first camp in two years, so it will be a very special moment putting the Welsh shirt on again," said Brooks.

    "I'd been a few times to see the lads and the coaching staff when I was ill. It didn't have the same feeling about it. Football aside, it was just nice to get back with the lads and feel part of it."

    Read the full feature with Brooks here.

    Interesting read there about Dr Ian Mitchell the team psychologist.

    They're going to need him during this half-time break!

    The tales of quiz nights, table tennis tournaments and forfeits on French summer nights have almost become part of Welsh football folklore.

    The lads' holiday off the pitch at Euro 2016 that helped create the boy's own stuff on it.

    All done by design - on a blueprint borrowed by England.

    "Makes me sound like head of entertainment rather than head of psychology, doesn't it," laughs Dr Ian Mitchell, now back from his time in Gareth Southgate's set-up where a few similarities in a national side smiling through pressure was hard not to notice.

    "It's nudge psychology if you want to call it that, just something to take away the emphasis of winning as much as possible," says Mitchell, who also worked alongside Garry Monk during Swansea City's time in the Premier League.

    "We're all there to win, I get that, but as soon as you start talking about outcomes, then pressure comes.

    "When you need to rest and recover, you need them to rest and recover, not being overloaded with any noise outside the camp worrying about the next game.

    "So the quizzes, the challenges, might seem small, simple things, but they are really effective.

    "And when you have fun, you take away fear and that's when you have people performing at the highest level."

    The two wide men for Armenia are tucking in really well, they're really disciplined and that's giving Eduard Spertswan the space and time to control the game.

    Wales' defence needs to really tighten up, they need to focus on defence first and foremost and not keep thinking "we're going to play".

    We changed shape to a 4-4-2 and whilst it's down to the manager I think we were better in our shape first and foremost.

    This has the potential to be a really damaging and embarrassing result for Wales.

    They've not come from behind to win since beating Belarus in 2021.
