Just watched the Wales vs Scotland game and Wales played Andy King in a deeper, Richie Wellens esque role.
It's often been criticised of Andy that he doesn't get involved as much as he should but in this game, everything Wales did went through Kingy and he was very good at dictating the pace of the game. Also, Wales did seem to be more wasteful in possesion after King went off and weren't as dominant in the midfield.
So I hope this is a watershed moment for King and he will start to get more involved and control more games for us.

I thought he was his usual passive self.
Didn't think he played very well and look very tired.
Clearly doesn't have an engine.
Said for some time that if he doesn't score, you wouldn't know that he was playing.

Have to disagree there Joe.
OK, it wasn't a world-class Zidane style conduction of the game but, compared to his lack of involvement for us at times, I think he did probably have more touches of the ball and the players he was playing with in that Wales team (or Wales B team as it was) weren't as good as what he'd play with when with us.
Also, he did show that he can play in a deeper midfield role and use the ball well in that game.
