Well yes precisely, Wales having a friendly before means they can heavily rotate the squad, and generally just not take it very seriously. 

Whereas you'd imagine we'll have to be at full tilt for the whole game. 

Yep, potentially 120 minutes for Scotland and Ukraine as well while Wales can keep their main players fresh.

The argument the other way would be that whoever gets through the semi will have adrenaline and momentum to spare, and the Nations League game probably won't be played with the same intensity so there's a slight chance Wales could be caught out a bit. 120 minutes and some injuries will be top of their wish list.

Jordan Rhodes taking the utter piss today against Middlesbrough. I’d fancy Huddersfield to catch Bournemouth and get automatic promotion. 

Rhodes was very good, his big gangly frame makes you think he should be playing non-league but he bossed that. Bournemouth have 4 points and 2 games on Huddersfield though, would take a huge f**k up from them to chuck that.

Aye Bournemouth went and won easily today so you have to imagine they’ll finish in behind Fulham now. They’re been terrible the last month but that’s huge for them today.

Suggesting him for Scotland? 2 goals all season

Interesting how football moves, doesn't seem that long ago we had McBurnie, Shankland and Nesbit all around the squad...........before that Rhodes was always touted for a call up. Thankfully we now have decent reliable options even if they are not stars like other countries have

Not to mention Brophy and Mackay Stevens.

Nesbit would still be selected for the squad if he didn’t have a season ending ACL injury. The pecking order seems to be Dykes, Adams, Christie, Nesbit, Brown, Stewart. Not sure who comes after those six.

Nesbit's for this season prior to injury was poor. You may be right he might have been called up but he's not the level of Dykes, Adams, Christie or even Brown. As for Stewart he may well develop into a player for us, but I think much like Shankland, Brophy he's been brought in as an 'option' but will only get time if we have real lack of availability.

Targett would be a great addition. If Hickey continues to play on the right side for Bologna then Clarke may well use him there with Patterson out, so bringing in Targett for the left would be excellent, especially with Andy Robertson potentially playing in the CL final a few days before Ukraine.
