Dan James isn't very good. All pace and no brain He's a bit like that, sometimes. But you just described Adama Diakhaby.

Shame he’s not playing with better players.
What a cross that was.

Sorba gets a yellow for a shoulder to shoulder challenge yet an Estonian kicks the Wales defender up in the air and the ref only gives a free kick

The free kicks given against Kiefer Moore are ridiculous.

Great save Danny Ward.
Another wasted free kick by Wilson - right in Sorba’s favourite position.

This ref doesn't want to book Estonians if he can help it. Why didn't that lad leave that for Sorba to score 🤬

Decent enough performance.
Barely gave the ball away and looked lively. Left wing back isn’t exactly his preferred position and he wasn’t on set pieces so they didn’t get the best out of him.

Harry Wilson’s free kicks have been awful! Let Sorba have a go!!! Totally agree. How many times did they let him take them ffs. Still sorba has a decent game. Dead chuffed for him

I think Wales use of Thomas has to be the worst tactical decision since Hodge Podge decided to let Harry Kane take corners for England.
Why put possibly the best wide attacking player in the championship at full back?? He was so deep it was pointless him being there. Yes he did a great job but he would have excelled in a more attacking role as the rest of their players looked bab.
Also, the amount of times Ward had the ball with Sorba looking for the quick release only for a long aimless hoof upfield by the goalie to noone.
Wales really are a poor side.

They don’t fully trust him yet, neither the players nor the coaches, which is understandable when it’s his first time in the squad. If they did he’d be on some set pieces and there were a number of times when he was the best option for a pass and they went back inside instead.
All of which makes his fairly decent performance all the more impressive. Let’s hope he keeps it up and they squeeze thru a play-off - it would make the World Cup a whole lot more interesting as a Town fan!

Wales had all the ingredients to fucking smash Estonia. Unfortunately the recipe got jumbled up.
A speed merchant in Dan James. Run at them & win free kicks. A free-kick specialist in Sorba Thomas. A big centre forward who probably dreams about getting his head on the end of that perfect free-kick.
Instead they have either Wilson or James who might as well have closed their eyes & just swung their leg randomly. Markus Poom for Estonia took some decent free kicks but there is no way on earth he should have stood out this evening. Fucking terrible set pieces from Wales.
I'm delighted that Sorba Thomas is getting international football, but Christ on a bike. Use him properly!

"Fairly decent performance".
Both games I'd give him a 6/10. Not great, not terrible. I'm bloody baffled by the decision to put Wilson & James ahead of him on free kicks. They must produce something amazing in training because they were absolutely dreadful this evening. Put Sorba on Free Kicks & watch Wales win by 2 or 3 this evening.

Played well enough in a strange position for him , however could see Page wanted to play with high full backs to create overloads . However to fully get the best from sorba he needs to be right side whipping balls in or left side with a player overlapping to give him the chance to cut inside.
Welsh fans seem to love him for his enthusiasm, hard working nature and honesty - which is what we love him for too . Keep it up Sorba!

You may be right there. Although I'd have thought James & Wilson would rather have been in the box or on the end of a knockdown than taking the set pieces themselves, unless it's a shootable position. At the very least Sorba should have been on corners.

In time he'll get bedded in and play in the right positions. I suspect Page didn't pay a heap of attention to the way our wing backs play, he just saw 3-4-3 and Sorba playing behind another winger and doing well enough, so tried to do something similar. The free kicks thing is just pecking order. Wilson can take a good free kick at goal to be fair but I'd be surprised if anyone else stacks up well against Sorba in terms of deliveries from a dead ball. Does Bale take them? Maybe those 2 had been waiting patiently to have a go at them

Don't think Sorba played as a full back at all, he was tracking up and down that left touchline all game but never the last man at the back..
I think it's a credit it to him he played a full 94 minutes on his debut..I'd half expected he'd be subbed after an hour just as a matter of protocol. Wales didn't really use that left wing much, preferring attacking down the right but when called on Sorba did what was expected, played it safe and tidy. Well done, he's got s future in the Wales team, but how long Town can keep him I don't know now.. Asking price ??

Sorba is very confident. So, assuming they pick him for the final two qualifiers, I expect him to be showing everybody in training just exactly how to take free-kicks and corners. The only issue is, for the Belarus game Moore is suspended.

Full house - passionate fans and electric atmosphere to be a part of a team that qualifies for the first time since 1958.
