Predictions Please Can we go into this game with renewed confidence or will it be a big brutal bump back down to Earth??? Donât forget your scorerâs lads and ladets!!
I am goning to go 1-1 again a draw keeping us in touch morrison for us Jelavic for them BTW dont forget its a 7pm K/O
I think you are going to come back down to earth with a big bump. Having said that, Croatia do not appear to be the team they were about 8 years ago so you might not get a severe battering. All the same I would say Croatia 4-0 Wales. Jelavic with a hat-trick & Luka Modric (if he plays)
At the risk of upsetting certain people who will accuse me of not supporting Wales, with my realist's head on, 4 - 1 to Croatia. Jelavic 2, Srna and Vukojevic for Croatia and Bale again for Wales.
I hope it's only a 2-1 loss that I predict and no more. Bale getting ours and Jelavic and Moric for Croatia.
All Croatia have to do is double up on Bale when required and I don't see any other goal threat at the moment. They will have taken some confidence from last night but I'm going for 2-0 Croatia.
H - the Jocks trebled up on him and he still got the penalty . Mind you I expect the Croats have more accomplished defenders. Although they do have Corluka and he actually scored last night against Macedonia. We really need to get Bale 1 on 1 against him.
24% possession - does that set a new Welsh record for being outplayed? I won't even go there with the shots on / off target comparison between the two sides - too embarrassing.
Disgrace!!! The only word for it! I would of taken 2-0 but the manner of defeat... Every single player needs to put there hand up and be accountable besides Bale!! We can blame Chris Coleman all we like but the end of the day we can't go from looking promising under Speed to the worse welsh team I have ever witnessed!!! Gary would of sent out the same players as Chris tonight...and set up in same formation! I think Coleman has got to go! But he should not be made the scape goat the whole of the system needs changing!
We were lucky to get nil. What a shambles from the top down. The Scotland result was just a blip on the sequence of recent poor performances.
We have to give Coleman some credit. He's said all along he needs to move on from the speed era and stamp his own style on the role. Well Chris, you've certainly accomplished that one
we were missing several key players....... again....... it doesnt matter who the manager is we still would have lost that game. croatia are a top team and ranked 11th in the world, and not without good reason.... i dont think he's the man who can drive us forwards like speed would have done, but its unrealistic to expect the players to get a result against croatia..... its a shame that it ended up being invididual errors which cost us but i am adament we will be transformed when bellamy and others come back into the fray.... what if we had englands group? we are on a hiding to nothing year in year out, i would back us to have a decent shot at qualification if we werent in this group of death...... its like the champions league without the champions qualifying route for the smaller leagues.......self fulfilling and i cant see anything changing long term unless we get more quality youngsters emerging.....
