This will have to do. (Yeah, I grabbed it off Wikipedia)...

Wele goelcerth wen yn fflamio
A thafodau tân yn bloeddio
Ar i'r dewrion ddod i daro
Unwaith eto'n un
Gan fanllefau tywysogion
Llais gelynion, trwst arfogion
A charlamiad y marchogion
Craig ar graig a gryn.

Arfon byth ni orfydd
Cenir yn dragywydd
Cymru fydd fel Cymru fu
Yn glodus ym mysg gwledydd.
Yng ngwyn oleuni'r goelcerth acw
Tros wefusau Cymro'n marw
Annibyniaeth sydd yn galw
Am ei dewraf ddyn.

Ni chaiff gelyn ladd ac ymlid
Harlech! Harlech! cwyd i'w herlid
Y mae Rhoddwr mawr ein Rhyddid
Yn rhoi nerth i ni.
Wele Gymru a'i byddinoedd
Yn ymdywallt o'r mynyddoedd!
Rhuthrant fel rhaeadrau dyfroedd
Llamant fel y lli!

Llwyddiant i'n marchogion
Rwystro gledd yr estron!
Gwybod yn ei galon gaiff
Fel bratha cleddyf Brython
Y cledd yn erbyn cledd a chwery
Dur yn erbyn dur a dery
Wele faner Gwalia'i fyny
Rhyddid aiff â hi!

Strong team, Wagner not messing about.

A proper midfield start for Sorensen - pushing Nunez forward. Good.

Glad to see we haven't rested players. Sorenson wouldn't have been my Barnes replacement but there we are. I guess we're going to try to be solid and pick them off on the break, which isn't the worst strategy today - or in an away leg of a play off semi final, should we get there...

Sorenson works hard though, reliable etc. Not a bad lineup at all imo.

He is pushing Sara into the 10 so that's exciting

[Feedthewolf 4,959]

No Fasi in the squad, maybe he's picked up a knock or come down with illness?

The club were clearly expecting him to be involved judging by this tweet from a few hours ago:

Doubt it. Think Nunez will be there which is fine by me. I much prefer Sara coming in off the right.

Yeah, no problem with it at all, especially with Fassnacht unavailable, which I hadn't noticed... (h/t @Feedthewolf)

It's live on Sky, there will be plenty. Or just go to the pub.

Hopefully nothing too serious with Fass. Assuming we make the playoffs, we'll need as many fit and available as possible. Good to see Dimi and Hanley on the bench.

Yeah he is, I thought the same but googled it and he was born in Brum.

I think Wagner commented on Nunez in that role last week.

[shefcanary 2,528]

Sam Seaman has said Fasnacht has a minor injury. One precautionary selection decision. He also expects Lungi to be advanced further up front  than Nunez in a 4-2-3-1; I would have expected a 4-3-3! Not long to find out.

Strong team, if the lads are pumped up for this I reckon we could smash them. But, lose an early goal and it might become very tricky. Need Sara, Sainz and Sarge on their A game.

[Creedence Clearwater Couto 1,327]

Would’ve preferred to see Nunez deeper.. I think we recycle the ball better when he is. Having him and Sara pushed up leaves us struggling to link front to back. Not convinced with Sorenson and McLean as protection to Gibson and Duffy… but hopefully Sorenson finds the form he’s capable of.

[TheGunnShow 6,197]

Can see that potentially being without a number 10. Ditching the number 10 and packing the centre of midfield more for solidity? Actually think McLean would be OK at 10 if Nunez and Lungi are behind him as it frees McLean up to chase after everything further up the pitch.

Sara should always be coming off the right.

I tuned into Sky sports to watch the match build up and they're at bloody binner land 😠

[Ken Hairy 3,830]

Not impressed with this Sky pre match, why bother having 3 different games on 3 different channels if they're going to make us watch those ugly ****?

[repman 646]

Don’t particularly love it if it’s Nunez pushed further forward, he’s been really good in the deeper role for a while now and I’m not sure being ahead of the ball suits him as much.

The medias going to be jerking off about them until a few months into next season when they've gone and lost every match 5-0 and then they'll be debating if they should be banned from ever getting promoted again..

[BroadstairsR 2,257]

I'd have gone with JR and an all-out onslaught of the nervous Brum team.

But no big deal.

Sorensen never lets us down.

If McKenna stays, I don't personally expect them to be losing 5-0 every week. What is happening there reminds me so much of us and Lambert, so I think they may even make a decent go of it.

If they lose McKenna, though, Derby's points return may be under threat.
