Wales to continue freakish team photo tradition says Joe Ledley
At the time Coleman was clinging to his job and qualifying for a first major finals since the 1958 World Cup seemed no more than a pipe dream.
Serbia’s next game is against second from bottom Georgia on March 24 when Wales visit Ireland and fourth-placed Austria host Moldova.
Do you ever have any question about anything you wish to ask and get answer?
Unsurprisingly, Wales will be looking to their star man Gareth Bale as they look to get the three points, and reproduce some of that form we all saw in France during the summer. “We have not lost yet, we will take that as a positive”.
“We’re not very good at photos and we will probably continue it, to be fair”, laughed Ledley.
Saturday’s encounter at Cardiff City Stadium was the third time in succession Wales had squandered a lead to draw.
‘Because I’ve seen him up close, in a tournament, I’ve seen the level he’s at, he could play for anybody, ‘ said the Wales boss.
“It is not all doom and gloom”, Williams said.

Costa rejoined the squad for training on Thursday but, following discussions between the player, Lopetegui and the Spain medical team to see if Costa was still feeling any discomfort, he was ruled out of both internationals and replaced by Aspas. Captain Branislav Ivanović played as the right-sided center back (and did alright, except when isolated against speed), while Nemanja Matić took up his usual position in the midfield two alongside Olympiakos’s Luka Milivojevic, who’s certainly no N’Golo Kanté.
