Accybeme, were we watching the same game?????
If anyone was guilty of 'hoof it' football it was us - bar the last 10 minutes.
By half time, Newport had exceeded 60% of possession. Far from hoofing it, they won
every loose ball (we hoofed) & their passing was faster & more accurate.
They had only 2 corners & scored from 1 - 50% success rate! We had 10 corners & scored from none.
We had 14 shots, only 5 of which were on target. They had only 6 shots, with 4 on target.
Our defence were taken by surprise by the simplest 'set-piece' corner I've witnessed.
Our corners & free kicks were ineffective, because their defence knew exactly what we were going to do. We never varied it once!
You don't need Sherlock Holmes as your manager to deduce - 'The game Is up!'
