Maybe a back 4 with gunning in midfield

I think 4-3-3 with gunning in midfield with dis and jones...?

Mariners Player not working again?

Delighted to see Dizza back in.

Broadcast doesn't start until kick off does it? RH will be on if you want to listen to pre match.

Thats a better midfield about time

Why on earth would you have gunning in midfield  when you have osborne available so that makes no sense.

Until kick off then i normally jump across to MP

Ok, don't usually listen MP build-up so wouldn't know.

Tombola right-ish, Jones left-ish, Dizza central.

Quoted from totalidiot

Why on earth would you have gunning in midfield and when you have osborne available so that makes no sense.

Don't think that pitch is up to any decent football so not surprised Osborne on the bench.

Quoted from Sigone

True.

Collins left back with Andrew left mid and Bolinwinra right mid in a 4-4-2???

Osborne possibly due a rest? Had missed out a few games prior to joining us and has stepped up to full time and played every game since...perhaps today has come a bit soon for him.

Or perhaps MB thinks the team he's picked is more suitable to play against Newport. I have no idea how they play, but y'know, I'm sure MB does and has picked his side accordingly.

Blooody hell...they've got Michael Flynn playing for them. He's only just quit his job at the White House hasn't he?

What I will say is I do think we've got a really good squad now, on paper at least. To make this many changes and to be able to put those players on is pretty impressive. Nice looking bench too.

Still, let's see how it goes eh!

Come on Town, restore a bit of pride tonight after Saturdays debacle.

A draw wouldn't be too bad, 3 points would be great....UTM

Pleased dizza is back for another go,  

Donny couldn't break them down playing football, so i'd go with tactical changes

But looks very unbalanced. Lose tonight and the jumbled thinking line up will be heavily criticised

nah....not the fishy way..... ;).....lets cast all sorts of knee jerk predictions now and then whoever gets it right can come back on later with their own "i told you so" thread.....
i will go first...
WTF !!!! Dropping Ben Davies, you need all his experience on a night like tonight, one bad game and he gets dropped, its obvious MB has got it in for him as he isnt one of his own , big mistake, Mills will get murdered down that side, its obvious..can see us shipping more than 5 tonight ..

:D

Come on you mariners

I'm sure I just heard the radio commentator say Town were going for a 4-1-3-2 formation.

Gunning in front of the back four I'd imagine if that was the case. Would be a rather strange midfield, however. Possibly a bit lop-sided with Andrew pushing up more on the left using his pace and Mills sitting a little deeper with Bolarinwa playing more as a right winger?

Just had £50K on Town to win with this midfield 2-0 at that bookies who goes bankrupt after he's paid me out :)

Think Collins might resume his unorthodox left-back position he finished the Crewe game in.

Here we go...C,Mon Town!

interestingly they play 5 at the back, similar formation to how we have been playing. Playing tombola tells me he thinks he can exploit it the same way we have been exploited at times.

According to Mariners World -The Wall we have Dzenon Catic in midfield today

I swear he says to Gary Whild "I'll turn round and you pick numbers".

Last time he made crazy changes and changed formation we beat Carlisle, so who knows.

Quoted from totalidiot

Why on earth would you have gunning in midfield  when you have osborne available so that makes no sense.

Maybe Osborne is knackered, having just stepped up in level.may just have a slight knock, or Bignot just wants a bit of experience, something we have been missin?

Collins and dyson both already booked

Why should any numbnut red cross that it is a fact.

Oh Moosey, surely you know by now that sarcasm and irony goes way above the heads of some of the posters on here. That is easily proved by the many red crosses your post received!!!

Going well, not 3-0 down yet :)

Town hit the post from a free kick

Doesn't sound too bad so far. From the commentary we seem to have had a few decent chances and hit the post.

We sound on top at the moment, few shots, hit post and playing ok.

Well this sounds better. Improved organisation and fight by the sound of it. Take a point now with a clean sheet

Half time 0.0

Quoted from buckstown

Well this sounds better. Improved organisation and fight by the sound of it. Take a point now with a clean sheet

Sounds like we could get all three.

Sounds like we are doing o.k., apologies to those that have travelled all that way but I would be happy with a 0 - 0 to be honest, especially before a tough game on Saturday.

It's diabolical both sides are terrible, but at least we are organised today.

Should have played without Comley from the word go-this is a much better formation taking pressure off the back four- size does matter in this league

I wouldnt call it diabolical, the lads are playing well and fighting for every ball. Dont like knocking refs but this guy is a homa. Weve had the better chances and in the last 15 mins have taken control.Everyone putting a shift. Can see us taking all 3 points if we keep the pressure on.  UTM..

199 Town fans in attendance 👍

I think you're being homa phobic... ho ho!

I used to hate the Iliad. Moaned at school when the teacher told us to read it. He accused me of being Homerphobic.

Asante muck up again

KM what do you mean again isn't his 3rd start lol

Mariners player excrement

Yussuf and Vernon on for Dyson and Osborne

Missed a sitter on Saturday Meza. 'Beaten by the pitch' tonight.

Me mate says an awful game and both sides look so poor.

Dyson looks well below what's required and dizza best player on the pitch but that ain't looking to hard.

Thanks KM i didn't know he missed a sitter.  Cmon town

I feel these games of little goals and quality are going to be the ones where we feel Bogles loss.

General Gordon coming on!?

Town's game now the only game in league 2 without a goal.

I'm trying to work out who this Rodney Parade bloke is that Matt Dean is on about?

He's that plonker Herts

No no hes called Dave not Rodney lol

Wigan ahead at Wolves - kerching

But Bogle was subbed after 63 mins

Good news that Mansfield have conceded 4 goals at home. (Although they have scored 4 themselves).

FT      Newport  0-0  Town...........I'll take that after Saturday.

Quoted from Meza

But Bogle was subbed after 63 mins

But if they win it's 3 more points to help avoid relegation and a windfall for us.

Would have settled for a point tonight. Sounded more promising.

Good steadying of the ship after Saturday.

That'll do pity we dropped off after the subs came on

True rancido.....the bigger picture 😆

Good point away from home and clean sheet no doubt we probably played like relegation candidates.

0 - 0 difficult away trip for lots of reasons plus some game time for different players to give Marcus some selection options come Saturday. I would have took that before the game

Well done & safe home to the 199 who travelled!  

Take a point. Night all!

Take a point to make Saturday look like an anomaly but we need more on at the weekend if we want to make anything of the season - although I do think any hopes of anything better than tenth have vanished.

We cannae score but can't complain at an away point.

FFS...0-0 ....1 point and no goals from two games against lower opposition...cant even score against the bottom team in the league....etc etc....

Decent result, no idea about the performance. On to Saturday.

2nd from bottom Leyton O grab 94th minute winner at 2nd placed Plymouth! This place is getting crazier then the National League.

Newport have the worst home record in the league and are bottom of the league I might be on my own here but is it really a "great" point some are making out ?

Strange.

Imagine a whole season under MB..............  relegation fodder for sure....... dross

Decent result after Sat.
Would have liked a win but nevermind let's move on to Saturday when we give that fat twit a good hiding UTM

Quoted from jonnyboy82

Strange.

Pretty much not the same team after the transfer window, they are now six games undefeated.

It sounds like MB set us up to deal with the style of the opposition and not to get beat on an away trip, that kind of thing makes me smile.  

Quoted from jonnyboy82

Strange.

Jonny you may want to take into account both the shocking condition of the pitch(same for both sides but they are used to it), their recent improvement in form since signing god knows how many new players in January and the increased confidence that gives them. Think Ferguson commented after Donny's visit on Saturday what a difficult place this was to visit and winning there would be very difficult.

Point after a drubbing last Saturday will do for me.

This wasn't a great point, it was a desperate salvage of a point against a desperate team.  We will see how far we have come against Mansfield.   People  need to wake up,  MB is clueless and we will go from one crap performance to another under him...........

Quoted from HertsGTFC

In two minds......shows awareness of the particular factors effecting tonights game and tactical shuffling to adapt/ counter them which is good....however it was still Newport, the worst team in the League so disappointing MB said "we would have got steamrollered if we had come and tried to play football".....
big game Saturday now with Mansfield being at the bottom of the play off pack.....

It only makes me smile as recently PH has been slaughtered on here for doing such things.

Good point under the circumstances, was always going to be a hard slog on a sh1t heap of a pitch. one for pride and confidence

Best player for me was Mills. Pearson and Collins solid, Sam Jones had one very good driving run and Tombola did a few good bits and pieces, but that was about it.

Pitch awful, officials awful and the match totally devoid of quality.  The Pipe shouts were funny though almost had me in tears.

Quoted from HertsGTFC

Your not a fan are you Golfer?

Aw--you've found out my secret :)

a good point against a team fighting for there lives on a their equivalent to cleethorpes beach,but hey ho some people are never happy or see the bigger picture, Codfather i would hate to go drinking with you,moan moan moan,get a life

Great point is OTT, this is a Good point tho

It's stopped the rot after the past couple of dire away results and that is what is most important.

One of my mates lives down in the south west and his message mentioned that it was a match almost totally devoid of quality or incident.Still, it's an extra point on the board which is what counts as we're obviously a team that needs to make sure we get safe before even thinking about a potential push for the play-offs. Hopefully, a few home wins will settle things down long before the end of the season.
