SCOUTING REPORT
Manager
Rob Page
Page is passionate, forceful and likes his football played the same way, with full-backs who bomb forward with width and pace.
Record P 6 W 4 D 1 L 1
All games
Strengths
• The Bale-ramsey-james triumvirate is top class
• Pace in wide areas
• The squad looks united
Weaknesses
• Ben Davies, Joe Allen and Aaron Ramsey are injury prone
• Fringe players from the lower leagues
• Too reliant on Gareth Bale
Prospects
The money’s on a three-team scrap for second place but Wales will only be involved in that if key figures – notably Bale and Ramsey – stay fit. Management are guarding against too much expectation, though in all honesty there shouldn’t be a great deal anyway.
Inside info
Owain Tudur Jones
Former Wales international
We’ve got some players coming into the tournament carrying injuries and I’m not sure whether it’s a blessing that they will be fresh or whether the tournament comes too soon for them to get games. The young lads in the squad are fearless, and it’s a tough group to get out of, but that has to be the first aim.
