Rob Page: “Perhaps this is the slap we need. This is a reality check. It’s shocked me.”

I'd rather that than... We gave it our best shot and we lost to the better team.

Not in a million years should we have lost like that at home to them. He's taken the responsibility. Let's see how he reacts.

They did.

Page got it wrong. Players messed up. No one is devoid of fault. We fucked up.

Wanted to see him say, “I got it wrong”. Concerning that he hasn’t addressed his tactical choice and player’s given position/task.

Unfortunately Page isn't the one to take us forward, just hasn't got the tactical know how etc.
The time for a replacement is now especially with us being in an important transition with some good experienced players recently stepping down.
Sooner the FAW realise this the better.
When we lose tomorrow or maybe get a draw it might get them thinking.
Thanks for your time Rob :wave:

"I got it wrong".

I'm sorry that doesnt wash with me. Not against the likes of Armenia.

International football is different to league football. I'm league football you have 46 matches and a few bad decisions can be made good.

In this there are only 8 games or so and a bad result can knock you out of the tournament.

This time last week we were talking of being top of the group with and in a good place to qualify. Now we have potentially two defeats and struggling to qualify.

It’s been 3 straight years of obvious inadequate game management and tactics. We need a manager who has experience with a modern footballing style that knows how to approach each game and knows how to use the strengths of the players

He was lucky to be in a job after the world cup, he's totally out of his depth and hasn't got Bale to fall back on to save us .

We do not have the players !!! Am I missing something here? You can blame the the manager as much as you like it is hogwash.
No players or quality

They’ve given him a 4 year deal, I can’t see him going for a long time.

I wanted him out straight after the embarrassing world cup that I waited all my life for but sadly it was terrible.

I did not think we would go through but thought we play with a bit of pride and we were terrible and in my mind by not sacking Page then it shows the Welsh FA are just as clueless as City owners.

I just wonder how many games the Welsh FA will let this continue as I cannot take any more I did not watch the Turkey game and wished I did not watch last Friday total rubbish

You couldn't hit the nail on the head any harder here. Bale and Allen are gone so will Ramsey and hennessey at some point. We don't have the quality, end of.

Time for us to fade into obscurity until a new 'bale' or welsh wonder kid can carry us in games. I hope the faw has invested a lot in grassroots here for the future.
