Some Dragons fans called for Page to resign after a 0-0 draw against opponents ranked 203 in the world.
Rob Page faced up to the jeers directed at him after Wales were held to a draw by Gibraltar and promised not to lose focus on his long-term plan.
“When you’re a manager of a football club or an international team you set yourself up for criticism. With the play-off final against Poland ending in a 0-0 draw after 120 minutes, Wales are actually unbeaten in nine games. Asked if drawing with Gibraltar would damage that unity between board and manager, Page said: “If you’ve got a business plan and a long-term plan you can’t be emotional.“I’m not going to lose focus on the long-term plan we’ve got.”
Five players – Charlie Crew, Fin Stevens, Jay DaSilva, Lewis Koumas and Tom King – made debuts, and it was not until the established strike trio Brennan Johnson, Daniel James and Kieffer Moore came off the bench for the final half-hour that Wales looked like scoring.“We’ve just missed out on the Euros and this is our first game after that.
