    not seen about Igor but Bulot did tweet yesterday he was going away with Gabon
    Wiggins is with Wales as is Church
    Ben Haim I believe is with Israel and could be captain

    Fox with Wales under 21, Gudmundsson said he will be fine by today, so expect him to go with Iceland

    Vetokele is in Angola's squad for two African Cup of Nations qualifiers (both vs. Lesotho).

    allafrica.com/stories/201410030104.html

    Joe Gomez was named in the England U19 squad that plays 3 Euro Championship qualifiers in Luxembourg.

    Church can't get into the matchday squad of a middling Championship team but still gets in to the Welsh squad - surely they have better.

    this time they have called up
    Simon Church(Charlton)
    George Williams(Fulham)
    Tom Lawrence(Leicester)

    other recent call ups include
    Jermaine Easter(Millwall)
    Sam Vokes(Burnley) (Injured)
    Steve Morrison(Leeds)
    Craig Davies(Bolton)

    their options upfront seem very limited especially with Sam Vokes injured

    Cardiff:
    Kenwyne Jones (Trinidad and Tobago)
    Adam Le Fondre (England)
    Federico Macheda (Italy)
    Javi Guerra (Spain)
    Nicky Maynard (England)
    Etien Velikonja (Slovenia)

    Swansea:
    Wilfred Bony (Ivory Coast)
    Marvin Emnes (Holland)
    Bafétimbi Gomis (France)
    Rory Donnelly (Northern Ireland)

    Makes you realise how much we need something like the 6+5 rule)

    Nicky Maynard is the nearest that Cardiff have got to a Welsh striker (he's English). David N'Gog is the nearest that Swansea have got (he's French). Even Newport County can only offer Aaron Collins (17 year old, made debut a couple of weeks ago) and Tom Owen-Evans (not good enough to have his own Wikipedia page).

    out of the 27 first team players Swansea have on Wiki 5 are Welsh
    out of the 29 first team players Cardiff have on Wiki 2 are Welsh(they also have 7 out on loan 0 Welsh so you could make that 2 out of 36)

    but if the 6/5 rule was to come in we could easily pass (as long as it was British although other than Wiggins it would be English)

    Henderson
    Solly Morrison Bikey Wiggins
    Wilson Jackson Buyens Cousins
    Gudmundsson
    Vetokele

    What happens with substitutions? We then became 4 + 7 on Sat, could we do that?

    Icelandic bloke who caught my eye was Hallfredsson - a sweeter left foot you could not wish for.

    At least Iceland don't play guys who are not 100% fit.

    We have taken a gamble in a couple of matches this season because Johann is so important in CAFC doing quick attacks.

    I hope the extra two weeks rest has helped, and no new issues.

    Has Igor played over the last two weeks ?

    Angola kick off in less than an hour against Lesotho. Angola are expected to win easily so hopefully Igor will get on the score sheet. I can't find a bookies that are doing any first or anytime goalscorer markets for this game.

    Can't blame them really considering how dodgy African football can be,

    I have looked up the squad that Angola gives and Igor is not in it, unless someone can find out more information

    Was thinking that Yesterday not seen anything this time other than KAG

    obviously Church and Wiggins have not been, but how about Igor, JBG, Bulot and George guessing TBH has been but again not seen anything about him
