Former Wales international Nathan Blake and ex-BBC Wales Football Correspondent Rob Phillips take stock of where the Wales national team are after the elongated international window in the Nations League. The long time observers of the game, go through the plusses and minuses of the campaign and ponder the prospects for the remaining games in November. The podcast’s international theme continues by looking ahead to Wales women’s World Cup play-off double header against Albania as coach Rhian Wilkinson copes with a plethora of injuries. The duo also look at the emergence of The New Saints in the Genero Adran League after a statement weekend win. Rob discusses a mixed few days for Newport County - but both agree Hayden Mullins is on the right track. In the dedicated Novira Cymru Leagues section Mark ‘Jonah’ Jones - the voice of domestic Welsh football - discusses the breaking news of Barry Town’s significant ownership development. And Jonah has been out and about chatting to the young coach who is leading a Cardiff Met team in their European adventure.
