Rob Page:”I could not be more proud of them, I am pleased

Turkey 2 Wales 0


1 WIN FROM 12 GAMES::



Rob Page:

“I could not be more proud of them and I am pleased with that performance.”




Rob Page:

Speaking about the match, Page said: "Whenever you come to Turkey away, you know it's a tough test.

"Having said that, before the sending off, I thought we matched them and I was really pleased with the performance and defensively we were good , which we obviously addressed off the back of Friday's result.

"With the ball I thought we got Aaron (Ramsey) and others in great positions up the pitch and we were brave to play through them. We looked at the footage and we thought that was an area we could exploit and that was working up until the sending off happens. Completely changes the game.

Page asked for a reaction from his players after the embarrassing home defeat by Armenia, and despite the defeat in Samsun, he believes his players did front up and attempt to right the wrongs from last Friday.

"I couldn't be more proud of them," he said. "I saw them in the changing room, we spoke about it in great detail the last couple of days. I asked them to go and give a performance the supporters would be proud of and until the sending off they did. Even after that, they had to put a shift in.“


"The work those boys have just gone through, to go down to 10 men and continue to run themselves into the ground for me was incredible. I thought we were going to hold on to that point, but you can only sustain so much pressure."

It doesn't change the fact, though, that Wales, who are on a dismal run of one win in 12 games, now see themselves languishing in fourth position in their group at the halfway stage.

He now believes the final four games have to be treated as 'must-wins'.

"We've seen Armenia beat Latvia in the 91st minute tonight. Both teams are capable of picking points up," Page added. "There's loads of points to play for and we have got to have that mentality where we have got to win every game now.

"To give ourselves a chance, that has got to be the mentality.

"Absolutely (I still believe). To qualify, we need to get both sides of the game bang on and do it really well, if we are to be successful. It's been a frustrating camp but there have been so many lessons to learn from it. We will address it. We go into every game to win it.

"It just means it's really important we get wins at home and get as many points from them."

ROB PAGE:


Page calls Armenia defeat a “massive bump in the road” and held full squad debrief afterwards.

Citing “tougher opposition” for 1 win in 11. “Everyone has got an opinion and I’ll never have a go at a supporter for having an opinion.”

Says squad is still a “work in progress”.

The man is deluded. He needs to go asap. I would write off this campaign and use it as an opportunity to get back to a distinctive playing style. At the moment, it looks like a load of kids on the park being watched over by a dog walker without a dog

I couldn't have put it better. He's living in cloud cuckoo land. I get annoyed when he speaks now as there's not an ounce of sense and a deluge of BS. Time to go but sadly where stuck with this clown.

Has to go. Out of his depth.

And what he failed to add was we will probably need Croatia to beat Turkey as well.

Was he watching the same game as me ?

Is he on drugs .
