"What pleases me is the reaction we had since then. To go unbeaten in seven and to play in the manner we've done. It really, really pleases me.Wales were absent from major tournaments for 58 years following the 1958 World Cup but, since ending that drought with a mesmerising run to the semi-finals at Euro 2016, qualification has become the expectation rather than a mere pipedream.
Although Wales recovered with a stirring victory over Croatia last October, they still missed out on automatic qualification after a disappointing draw in Armenia. Having limped to third place in their group, however, like Wales, Poland had the safety net of the play-offs. He sprung something of a surprise by starting Southampton's David Brooks against the Finns and leaving in-form Ipswich Town striker Kieffer Moore, his only recognised natural centre-forward, on the bench - but was instantly vindicated by the former's goal in the third minute.
Niall Huggins, Joe Morrell and Tom Bradshaw were already missing with injury, while Luton Town captain Tom Lockyer is not included as he continues his recovery from the cardiac arrest he suffered during a Premier League match in December.
