Ledley insists clear heads will be key

-

JOE LEDLEY has called for clear heads as Wales seek to secure a 2018 World Cup play-off spot amid the emotion of a derby game against Ireland. With so much on the line, emotions will be running high in Cardiff, especially as memories remain fresh of their Dublin clash in March. That game was shrouded in controvers­y when Ireland captain Seamus Coleman suffered a broken leg in a challenge with Neil Taylor, who was sent off in the goalless draw. ‘We must not get involved in anything,’ Ledley said. ‘We need to be clever and we have a lot of experience, so it is down to us. ‘Monday will be a battle and they will fight hard, it is always the same in these games. Hopefully we can do it with one last push.’
