The all new, improved, Newport match day thread.
 

Righto, who's going? (I'd love to but the London Marathon awaits). Want plenty of expert analysis and general insights please.

Got to be an unchanged team. (Usual caveat applies that I think we'd do better with Husin in midfield etc).

Feel extremely nervous on this one. Massive banana skin awaits. Win it and god knows where we will be tonight. Lose or draw and it's curtains.

Cum on ye reeeeds.

Re: The all new, improved, Newport match day thread.
 

both sides need to win. big advantage for them playing on their beach but we always seem to get a result when we don,t expect us to get one. everything crossed both for stanley and pools this afternoon.

Re: The all new, improved, Newport match day thread.
 

I'm not sure about Husin on this one, Their pitch means it will probably be a scrappy game and not the one touch we like!

Hope we can get an early goal and zap some comfidence out of Newport and their fans!

Re: The all new, improved, Newport match day thread.
 

I hope we can do a "Plymouth" on em, but dont think that will be the case, reckon Newports life depends on this game.:eek:

Re: The all new, improved, Newport match day thread.
 

There will be a change in midfield

Re: The all new, improved, Newport match day thread.
 

Hope we can get an early goal and zap some comfidence out of Newport and their fans![/QUOTE]

agree, we should go for it straight away. after being thrashed last week an early goal might see heads dropping a bit for them.

Re: The all new, improved, Newport match day thread.
 

mark haywood to referee our game. there seems to be two of em. hope we get the grey haired one and not the other who we,ve had issues with in the past. spare a thought for pools they,ve been kettled today.

Re: The all new, improved, Newport match day thread.
 

Gawd fighting for lives and got that idiot in charge, really feel fer em.:eek:

Re: The all new, improved, Newport match day thread.
 

Hope Mr Coleman makes good use of our subs today, very often it is the "fresh legs" that make the difference in a game.

Re: The all new, improved, Newport match day thread.
 

Yeh got more chance of being struck by lightening Greeny.:D

Re: The all new, improved, Newport match day thread.
 

Today's ref is the same one who officiated our home game v Grimsby - can't remember if he had grey hair or not though :rolleyes:

Re: The all new, improved, Newport match day thread.
 

or selling a 1000 season tickets.

Re: The all new, improved, Newport match day thread.
 

With there pitch it won't be a passing game, plenty of hoofball to be expected

Re: The all new, improved, Newport match day thread.
 

We can get three points today if we play our game. We need to get the first goal. if we can do that we can go on to a 5 nil win. we are due to rout them. we need the points as much and more than them. we need the goal difference.

Re: The all new, improved, Newport match day thread.
 

Go with Baldy on this.
Clean sheet,DONT turn over possession in our own half,contest the second balls and tuck the chances away when they come --- It wont be pretty !!!

Re: The all new, improved, Newport match day thread.
 

Where's Somerset?

#asfc #newportcounty

Only 6 subs surely we have enough for players to fill the 7 bench spots

Re: The all new, improved, Newport match day thread.
 

Carlisle and Luton losing, Wycombe just shot up about 10 places in the table cos they are beating Donny Rovers.

Re: The all new, improved, Newport match day thread.
 

Amazing. Wycombe just dropped back another 5 places.

Cambridge losing.

Re: The all new, improved, Newport match day thread.
 

We need to win way results are looking we could within 1 point with a win

Re: The all new, improved, Newport match day thread.
 

Normally any away point is a good un, today is the day it aint, cmon reds go at em big time second half.

Re: The all new, improved, Newport match day thread.
 

Can someoneplease explain why we have named only 6 subs instead of the 7 allowed?

Re: The all new, improved, Newport match day thread.
 

does it matter, we don't use them.

Re: The all new, improved, Newport match day thread.
 

Oh crap 1-0 Newport

Re: The all new, improved, Newport match day thread.
 

Newport lead

Re: The all new, improved, Newport match day thread.
 

We're doomed.

Re: The all new, improved, Newport match day thread.
 

What happened to Invincible?:)

Re: The all new, improved, Newport match day thread.
 

Stevenage currently in 8th place if that brings consolation to anyone. Other results generally bad.

Re: The all new, improved, Newport match day thread.
 

Yeah, what happened to invincible? Cum on reds.

Re: The all new, improved, Newport match day thread.
 

Edwards going to score a brace.

Re: The all new, improved, Newport match day thread.
 

It looks like we made a sub while I was typing. come on young Edwards this is your time to shine. Not much time admittedly.

Re: The all new, improved, Newport match day thread.
 

so that's who's missing off sub's bench.

Re: The all new, improved, Newport match day thread.
 

There have been 2 substitutions today so far, all 3 on now.

Re: The all new, improved, Newport match day thread.
 

Brown booked.

Re: The all new, improved, Newport match day thread.
 

Terry is on. Yes. The miracle is about to happen.

Re: The all new, improved, Newport match day thread.
 

Shame, but cracking finish to the season. Still got last match to cheer em on and then a big game v Stevenage. At least the season didn't die in Feb.

Re: The all new, improved, Newport match day thread.
 

I am afraid the dream is over, well done boys for the 15 games unbeaten. We left ourselves too much to do. Newport have been a bogey team for us again this season. Perhaps the club's management can sort out a proper and fair pricing policy for next season. Who is going to pay £20 to watch us play Luton next week?

Re: The all new, improved, Newport match day thread.
 

Well I'll be there as usual next week Chris - the lads deserve a decent crowd & atmosphere after the run they've just been on, one bad result at Newport doesn't change that

Re: The all new, improved, Newport match day thread.
 

I will be there as well and you are right the lads do deserve a great reception. They have done everybody proud. I was aiming my remarks at the walk ons as I have said in another post the friends I had coming to the Luton game will not bother now as there is nothing to play for in reality. £20 maybe a bit too much for this game now.

Re: The all new, improved, Newport match day thread.
 

Our season isn't over yet. We still have the stop Stevenage from making the play offs mission to complete.:stop:

Re: The all new, improved, Newport match day thread.
 

Also - There''s still all to play for in player of the season. Beckles v Matty v Seany most likely.

Footy is ace and I'm looking forward to Luton already.

Re: The all new, improved, Newport match day thread.
 

Well, seeing that the player of the season voting was done at last week's game I'd say that's pretty much been put to bed - just remains for the results to be revealed at next week's presentation extravaganza - at least to those of us who can afford to go, the rest of us mere mortals will have to rely on getting the information second hand :rolleyes:

But yeah, I too am looking forward to the Luton game - same result as our FA Cup game will do just fine thanks :D

Re: The all new, improved, Newport match day thread.
 

Just back.
First of all congratulations Mr and Mrs Conneely and welcome Samuel.
We had our chances especially first half and their keeper pulled off two great saves from Clark and Kee.
Need to see the goal back again but Hughes was starting to get turned too regularly and he got caught out big style.
Samuel up front was a constant thorn - ugly at times but effective.
Supporters need to turn up next week and realise that where the club was at the turn of the year to play off hopefuls was some turn around.
Husin's got a shiner - took a naughty elbow and kid was lucky to stay on.

Re: The all new, improved, Newport match day thread.
 

A bit previous to have judged so early. But that's the modern way.

Re: The all new, improved, Newport match day thread.
 

I knew that bleedin BBC article that Chimer posted about us would prove our downfall!
After beating most of the teams in the current play-off spots, it's ironic that our unbeaten run would end at lowly Newport.
Am I right in thinking they're the only club to do the double over us this season?
Anyway, big respect to the brave Welshmen who've battled their way out of the relegation spot, especially after getting a thorough thrashing the week before.

Re: The all new, improved, Newport match day thread.
 

bit like our great escape the other season. wish hartlepools had as much grit and fight in em.

Re: The all new, improved, Newport match day thread.
 

On a serious note Congrats to mum and dad on the birth of a healthy baby god bless him, and to you twenty Eight is this your first grandchild?

Re: The all new, improved, Newport match day thread.
 

Yawnnnnnnnnnnn.
Keep fishing I'm not the grandad.

Re: The all new, improved, Newport match day thread.
 

To be fair it has to be done a couple of weeks before the end of the season so the trophies can be organised & engraved
