TimmyH added 22:09 - Mar 22 No look in for Nathan and doubt he'll get one against North Macedonia, interesting tonight started a Bolton player (Sheehan), a Swansea player (whom plays up front but for Wales tonight played in midfield, Cullen) and an Oxford striker (Harris) who came on. Bellamy obviously either doesn't rate him or thinks he hasn't had enough game time, saying that no Moore neither.
