 Wales are out and Bellamy takes the flack amongst others 27th Mar 2026 19:23It isn’t surprising with certain elements of the Wales support wanting immediate resolution to a history of failed competition attempts that abuse towards players and the head coach followed last nights loss to Bosnia & Herzagovina.  0

Taking DJ off when he was torturing Bosnia was baffling, we needed to win the game and the way DJ was playing he was the player most needed, I don't understand that decision  |  | | |

Was he taken off to save him for the play off final given he hasn't featured for 90minutes for Leeds that often?
Bit of a catch 22, play him for the 90 mins and he maybe struggles in the final or take him off and maybe we see the game out successfully without him. Someone has to make that decision and it's consequences.
You have to say as effective as Sorba Thomas was we became very one dimensional they defended the crosses well and we didn't threaten elsewhere, given the marking on Sorba Thomas the defenders dropping into the box for the crosses then the likes of DeSilva had space, opportunity and time on the ball to drive into the box and didn't, you have to pose different questions for defenders to deal with but we were unable to provide those questions as has been the case with the Swans of late. | | | |

He played 84 minutes another 6-to 10 wouldn't have made a lot of difference.
Jordan James was completely knackered and we missed him when he went off, Brooks the same and the red mist had come down, so he had to go I suppose too very important players off the field and he takes off DJ.
Bellars will learn from that, not been in the job that long just hope he stays and doesn't get his head turned. | | | |

DeSilva was under orders no doubt, Bosnia had some quick players so he had to give himself room to get back, he played well considering it was his first cap. | | | |

In the last 10; crosses were winging and Sorba was running smoke.
Horse for causes. no point Harris or Cullen against a couple of bruisers .
Sam Vokes of Gillingham would at least tried to get in front of the defender for 15 mins
Sam Vokes is over the top but Bosnak understood needs not age and Dzeeko did what he has been doing for 22 years . |  |

Bellamy got the subs and the withdraw of on the pitch players totally wrong. | | | |

We should never have brought Cullen on to play midfield when replacing Jordan James. Josh Sheehan would have been a like for like change.
Then why Mark Harris instead of Broadhurst? Why Mark Harris at all? | | | |

Broadhead can be effective as we found out to our cost
Harris is just not international class
We struggle because we don’t convert chances created
Bellamy apparently a favourite to take over at Celtic | |

We’ve stood our ground on that even some Swansea supporters need to think about what they area anyone. The abuse is pathetic, of course he didn’t play well out of position but the ratio of Cardiff fans singling him out says a lot.
People think it’s ok to dish out abuse but don’t like real facts thrown back at them. |  |

I thought the crosses from Sorba Thomas were awful. A lot of them were easily intercepted by their defenders. |  |

Brendan Johnson should not have lasted 90 mins. I thought he was poor again. Offered hardly anything in the final third. He should have been replaced with Broadhead | |

His penalty was inexcusable
These players are exceptionally rewarded for their efforts | |

A few managers have rated Cullen, Bellamy has singled him out for praise on the past. I don't get it personally, however people who get paid to manage obviously know far more than me. Harris instead of Broadhead was a bit of a shocker tbh. A L2 player at best. |  | | |

Not always the case
Managers select then it turns out they were wrong then they offer “ praise” towards an individual to justify their selection
Cullen is extremely lucky to be called an international and is only such because we have such a small pool to choose from
However selecting Harris shows where we really are | |

Cullen was playing "out of position" see butt. You cannot blame him for being totally ineffectual and giving away a needless corner. Centre forward is also "out of position" for him.
He turns up on time and is always smart and polite. Whitaker was a bit of a rebel and showed disrespectful antics at times. He had to go apparently. He will be in the premier leagues next year perhaps?
Wales should be a 'running' team not a 'passing team' or a route one team. We have legs that other teams do not have. We should invent our own style. Bosnia could not handle an James or Sorba at all. Wales only went wide when it was too late. | |

Brennan Johnson was awful, the form he had at Forest got him a move to Spurs, but for some reason he was like a fish out water, he's got the ability he's proven that so maybe its his temperament that's in question.
Needs to get back to basic's and look back to his Forest form and look back at how he did things then. | | | |

His first cap, then you have to applaud his performance. | | | |

It seemed Bellamy deferred to the Sport scientists and took a fit and firing Fan JJ Ames off and left Brennan Johnson on. He perhaps was more keen to keep Daniel Farke happy than Welsh fans.
These occasions come up at best every four years but more like every 12 years. It would have been better to play the artisans at the start then bring James and Sorba on after 50 mins so they can see out the full 120 mins | |

My mistake Rich his first cap came in 2024 against Gibraltar, his first call up was in 2023.
Just checked, I honestly thought it was his first cap | | | |
