   Paul compadre,
   The game in Turkey was exactly like you said. A cracker. Proof that MotD has been barking up the wrong tree for years by AUTOMATICALLY relegating goalless draws to the last item. Yes, they can be snorefests, but sometimes can be quite the reverse… like yesterday.
   Craig Bellamy is really impressing me. Obviously not in his insistence on playing out from the back (!) but with his footballing NOUS which is so evident in his post-match interviews.

   Hello Dai, it’s funny, I’ve seen Wales go away from home and get defiant 0-0 draws against teams I thought were better than them, but this one had a different feel to it. I’d rate Turkey as a good side, but not a top draw one, yet with that crowd behind them and the intensity they played with, it was by far Bellamy’s toughest test yet and, although I’ve read and heard a few critical comments about the Welsh performance, I thought the test was passed with flying colours. If I was to be critical of the Welsh display, I’d say that we lacked precision from players you’d expect better from when in promising positions. Although I made it sound like we didn’t have many goalscoring chances, we worked our way into positions from where a good opportunity could and, in some cases, should have arisen. Sorba Thomas, Harry Wilson, Brennan Johnson and David Brooks were all in a position where a bit more precision with a pass and we’d have been in – Turkey were quite careless at the back at times in both games with them and, although they could claim with some justification, that they should have scored against us over the two matches, the same applies to us.
