Chris Coleman Vows No Fear Factor For Wales In Georgia

Chris Coleman has promised Wales will “go for it” against Georgia in an attempt to keep their World Cup dream alive. Wales, second in Group D behind leaders Serbia, are without talisman Gareth Bale in Tbilisi on Friday after the Real Madrid forward suffered a calf injury. But Wales boss Coleman has targeted victories in the final two qualifiers, in Georgia and at home to the Republic of Ireland on Monday, although four points might be enough for a play-off spot next month if certain results in other groups fall in their favour.

Ben Woodburn – The Kid With The World Cup Campaign At His Feet

As Wales manager Chris Coleman names his squad on Thursday for the final two World Cup qualifiers, Josh Thomas reveals how 17-year-old Ben Woodburn has quickly gone from fringe player to focal point. “Su…per, super Ben, su…per, super Ben, su…per, super Ben, super Benny Woodburn”. That was the cry from the crowd who had just witnessed the teenage sensation make his mark, scoring his first goal for his county after entering the pitch only 261 seconds earlier.

Chris Coleman Sets Wales Target Of 20 Points To Climb Off Bottom Of 'Second Best' Table

Chris Coleman has set Wales a target of 20 points in order to either take the main road to the World Cup Finals – or the back route through the play-offs. Wales are currently on 14 points following Tuesday night’s 2-0 victory in Moldova, which lifted them into second place in qualifying group D – a point above the Republic of Ireland, but four adrift of Serbia. The Wales manager has seen his team win back-to-back matches, following the weekend victory over Austria and is convinced two further victories in their remaining fixtures – away to Georgia and at home to Ireland – will propel Wales into the play-offs for Russia next summer.
