"The last 20-odd minutes was the only time we stopped playing. We can't stop playing - we just can't. It's understandable: we're leading, they're throwing more forwards on."
"We weren't triggering, we weren't pressing, but when we had the ball, we didn't have the energy to press because of the simple fact that we didn't keep the ball long enough."
"If you want to see games out, you've got to see it out with the ball. We regained momentum in extra time but, considering the chances we created and the moments we had, maybe we'd have liked to have been out of sight by that time."
Wales faced Bosnia and Herzegovina in World Cup play-offs, leading through Dan James' goal. However, Edin Dzeko equalized late, and Wales lost in penalties.
