Really poor by Joe Allen

Lazy pass that was.

Can see he’s not match sharp, which was the reason Colwill didn’t get called in

Was a typical Swansea move pass it back for no reason and it's cost us bloody annoying :banghead:

That's what happens when you "Piss around" at the back. If the ball is in their half - they cant score -- so get it forward.

A disastrous defensive mistake by Joe Allen gifts North Macedonia the win.

Frustrating night for Wales, who controlled possession but failed to find a goal.

A bad result in the context of qualification.




Updated




Wales continue their World Cup qualifying campaign on Tuesday night with a visit to Skpoje to play North Macedonia.

Kick off is at 7.45pm. It is live on BBC One in Wales and BBC Three in the rest of the UK.

Both nations won their opening game. Wales won 3-1 at home to Kazakhstan and North Macedonia won 3-0 in Liechtenstein.

Belgium are the other team in the group but won't enter the competition in this international window due to their involvement in the Nations League quarter finals.


The nation that tops the group will automatically qualify for the World Cup. The team in second will qualify for the play-offs - although Wales are practically already guaranteed a play-off place because of their results in the Nations League.


Below is the full Wales squad for this game.

Danny Ward (Leicester City)
Karl Darlow (Leeds United)
Adam Davies (Sheffield United)

Ben Davies (Tottenham Hotspur)
Joe Rodon (Leeds United)
Chris Mepham (Sunderland, on loan from Bournemouth)
Ben Cabango (Swansea City)
Connor Roberts (Burnley)

FT: North Macedonia 1-1 Wales

A disastrous defensive mistake by Joe Allen gifts North Macedonia a late goal.

But then David Brooks equalised in the last second.

Frustrating night for Wales, who has controlled possession but struggled to find a goal.

A draw not a disaster in the context of qualification.

Re: Updated " Wales defeated in North Macedonia "

Tue Mar 25, 2025 9:44 pm

Good point in the end.

Let’s hope Bellamy learns from the mistakes in this match.

Surely Allen’s last game for Wales.

1-1 Wales with a last minute equaliser. A good point considering we couldn't score in 90 mins with the majority of possession. Disappointing performance in terms of scoring goals.

Re: Updated " Wales defeated in North Macedonia "

Tue Mar 25, 2025 9:46 pm

Thank god for that!

Always disliked Allen but can see what he used to bring. He’s like a Savage running around now, he’s not sharp enough anymore and has to work more. Made a few sloppy challenges and a sloppy pass, I just think he should have perhaps stayed retired on a high as he will now begin to break his reputation.

Joe Allan been a great servant for Wales but his time is up, I honestly thought Macedonia were pretty poor and we've left 2 points out on that pitch tonight, but still unbeaten and our 2 best players back for the next round of games

Completely out of order for a player who has been a great servant for Wales.

We will always have 2016.

Can see why he brought him on to stiffen midfield... but what he did is
Frustrating tactics what he does for Swansea first thought play backwards no need to do it as plenty space in front of him... more puzzled why put moore on but refuse to put high ball in area? Did it when forced to and he creates the goal...

Re: Updated " Wales snatch late draw in North Macedonia "

Tue Mar 25, 2025 9:55 pm

That was a mad last 5 mins.
A game we nearly gave away.
Looked comfortable all the game, just needed a goal.
Playing tippy tappy football (the swansea way).
With all the possession we had we were to slow,move the ball faster and get it into the box.
A top goal scorer in this team and we would be hard to beat.
Oh for another Ian Rush.
Decent start for Bellamy with 4 points, onwards and upwards

Bellamy almost messed that up, but we got what we deserved in the end. Allen has been poor for a while. He was anonymous for Stoke and on a retirement gig with the Jacks. He is so off the pace its insane he was even in the practice squad, let alone the main squad, but on as a sub was just plain insane.
The commentators seemed to think Dan James was amazing, i thought he did next to fcuk all.

Some great performances though and we live to fight another day
