Fantastic win for us and being top of the group ahead of England makes it even sweeter.

Played excellent. Slovakia look decent too. The sub Duda made a big difference to them.

Incredibly intense game, amazing feeling to win like that.

We need Ash Williams to up his game. Bit concerned Ramsey is undroppable regardless of how he plays though. Hopefully both of their games will improve.

We need a striker ahead of Bale up top rather than Bale being up there. Normally id start with Robson Kanu but based on his sub appearance i think we can use him more effectively as an impact sub. Id start with Vokes up top and drop jonny Williams. Credit to Williams he did have a good game though.

I think it would be wrong to drop Williams. When Wales were under severe pressure after Slovakia equalised it was battling displays from Williams and others that kept them in the match. His efforts inspired others and he did take a knock in the second half which limited him a bit I think.

Delighted for Wales. Amazing team display. That unbelievable goal line clearance in the first few minutes showed just how much they all want this.

Is there are more likeable player than Gareth Bale in world football? The guy plays great for club and country and is just suuuuch a nice guy. I think anyone who dislikes Bale must hate puppies too

Really? I'm not too familiar with the overall Wales squad but he was my MOTM. Full of energy and enthusiasm, not bad quality either.

A friend of mine knew his dad through work and the family are apparently absolutely lovely...including Gareth.

So proud this morning. Hungover but proud. Watched the 4 minute highlights thing on the BBC website a dozen or so times, grinning from ear to ear every time!

Yes. He did have a good game but we need Bale to be playing off the striker rather than being the main man up top.

Ideally i'd drop Ramsey but realistically that won't happen. Another option is to put Ramsey in the centre with Joe Allen but I think that would be unbalanced.

I thought Ramsey played fine. He created the second goal! Why would you want to drop him?

Are they having a whip-round for bale to get a haircut. He looks more like monkey every time I see him, with that topknot.
