No return for retired dragons Savage and Speed

JOHN TOSHACK has dismissed suggestions he should look to the Wales old guard to bolster his young squad.

And the national team manager has suggested some of the senior players from former boss Mark Hughes’ squad now believe they “retired too soon”.

A roller coaster five days has seen Toshack’s side lurch from a 5-1 mauling at the hands of Slovakia to Wednesday’s hugely-improved performance which brought a 3-1 win over Cyprus to boost to Wales’ Euro 2008 qualifying campaign.
