Re: Newport County
Just back from the game,unfortunately,exile had to endure my company for the full ninety minutes !!.
Acci had the wind behind them in the first half,and started in a 4-2-3-1 shape which I haven't seen pre-season .
They played a attacking 3-1-4-2 which occupied our fullbacks and in turn isolated our centre backs.
This was a problem!,our two are strong and decent in the air,but very similar.
There forwards were just too quick and mobile for them,which in turn meant we went deeper,spaces appeared,and they dominated the second balls.
We had a bit of success,with the wind and when they took there forwards off,but believe me when I say they could have scored ten with a little composure.
Positives- Webber and Hunt did ok,the others IMHO were way below what is required at this level
