Ben is on the bench. Taylor at left back. Looks like we have changed from the 3 at the back with Gunther / Taylor as wing backs to a traditional 4 at the back. But with Taylor not Davies .... comments please?

Starting XI:
01 Hennessey
02 Gunter
06 Williams
04 Chester
03 Taylor
23 Williams
08 King
16 Ledley
11 Bale
09 Church
10 Robson-Kanu

Subs:
05 Davies
07 Edwards
12 Williams
13 Cotterill
14 Gabbidon
15 Williams
17 Lawrence
18 Ricketts
19 Edwards
20 Taylor
21 Letheren
22 John
 
I can only think it is down to Taylor playing week in week out and Ben not starting at Spurs. Then again it is Coleman picking the side so who knows what he is thinking. I see Joe ledley is still in the middle, I don't suppose we have much choice there. But, he is one poor player.
 
I am surprised by two things. First the switch to 4 at the back; why not keep the same setup, it seems useful and the more we play it the better we will get. A good setup to play against Belgium I would think. Second, Taylor in preference to Ben. If we're going for goals I would think our better setup would have Ben on the left hand side.
 
As much as I am not a big Tay;or fan, with what we have available both should have been starting. Just come up on the tv the formation That is a poor Welsh side and a very poor central 2 with Ledley and King. average championship at best.
 
More attacking with 4 5 1
I hope having Chester and Taylor centre left & left won't prove to be a mistake!
Cyprus will be going for the win.
 
Jonathan Williams missing due to that "good tackle" as the commentators put it in the last game, I did a little digging on Google today regarding Joniesta... Warnock has told him there is "no chance of a permanent move away".
 
He'll probably prove me wrong but I'd play Mel Chalres before I'd have Cotterill anywhere near the Welsh set up.
Ref's a pillock too.
