Charlie Crew stepped off the bench to make his Wales debut on Thursday night
Wales manager Rob Page insists Thursday’s draw with Gibraltar won’t deter him from handing out more opportunities to youngsters such as Leeds United’s Charlie Crew in the future. Page’s Wales played out a 0-0 stalemate with the minnows on Thursday night after a turning in a collective performance that few fans will be keen to remember in a hurry.
But I want to put a bit of context on it. We've just missed out on the Euros and this is our first game after that,' Page said. 'The lads are on the back of three weeks off, so it was unrealistic to start with our strongest team for the two games. 'That's the reason we picked that team to play that game. We've exposed some of the younger lads and given them that reward, because they've been excellent as squad players.
