Still in with a chance? To be honest I don't think so!

Bobby Gould has now moved on and the search is on for a new manager. He came in 1995 promising to put a smile back on the face of Welsh football, but he leaves us now unlikely to qualify for another major championship.

He made some mistakes, but to be fair to Bobby Gould at least the work he has done at grass roots level will surely benefit us in the future.

After the two defeats against Italy and Denmark, it leave us with a mountain to climb, and we will need to win our last two matches away to Belarus and home to Switzerland to qualify. The only comfort I take from those two defeats is the passion of the Denmark game (if only it was played in Wales). Was that passion to be seen against the Italians?, we just sat back and let them play, we even tried to play them at their own game (no chance!), the less said the better.

We are just not at a good enough level to compete against these sides, we must come up with a game plan that suits the players and stick to it. With a new manager coming in, he must first install the resolve that's been missing lately, and get the players working for each other as a team and not as individual's. Good luck to him whoever he maybe?

Cymru am byth.
