EDITOR NOTE: Clever guy that Nathan Blake.

Kieffer Moore and Chris Mepham have had virtually no match minutes at club side Bournemouth and it has shown today.
A Dan James for Kieffer Moore switch won't be too far away, I would predict.

Danny Gabbidon
Former Wales defender on BBC Radio WalesI don't think it's a surprise, he (Brennan Johnson) brings a different dynamic to this game.
It's probably a change that would have happened anyway.

Brennan Johnson gets a first chance to run at Armenia and takes it.
He's playing off the right-hand side with Harry Wilson on the left.

Former Wales striker on BBC Radio CymruIt's not been a night for him (David Brooks). He was excellent against Croatia, but he hasn't played a lot of football since then.
Brennan Johnson has a lot to prove as well.

Kath Morgan
Former Wales captain on BBC Radio CymruIt was a hard half for Wales.
We know how hard it is travelling. It's not an excuse, but if you don't perform well, you then have to find a way to win.
The hope now is that Wales will get a grip on the game in this second half.
I'm a nervous wreck sitting here!
Johnson tipped to thrivepublished at 15:03 Greenwich Mean Time 18 November 2023
HT: Armenia 1-1 Wales
It is surely a matter of when not if Brennan Johnson comes off the bench this afternoon.
Wales Rob Page is a big fan, having spoken before the game about he expects Johnson to thrive at Tottenham Hotspur.
Page says the forward is ready for the "extreme demands" of playing for a "big club" in the Premier League.
The 22-year-old joined Tottenham from Nottingham Forest on transfer-deadline day in a deal worth in excess of £45m.
Johnson is seeking to establish himself as a regular starter in north London after overcoming an injury issue and scored his first goal for Spurs in their defeat at Wolverhampton Wanderers last weekend.
"Even training with the players he's with at Tottenham will bring him to another level," Page explained.
"He's at a big, big club now pushing for top four so the demands on him will be extreme.
"The squad of players he's got around him now will be slightly different and I'm not concerned at all."

Dafydd Pritchard
BBC Sport Wales at Vazgen Sargsyan Republican StadiumThat was a frantic, panicky half from Wales, who played with none of the poise or control they demonstrated against Croatia.
They need some cool heads, and perhaps an intervention from one or two substitutes.
It's a stronger looking bench than usual with Brennan Johnson and Daniel James among the subs.
