I think he's doing that (selecting Hooper over Vernham) to give them a chance.

I think Hooper is much more suited to playing on the left than Vernam.

Amond goes close with a deflected effort

Very few mentions of Welsh so far. Maybe Newport playing the channels rather than midfield? Not heard Matt at all!

Joke referee. Just gave a 'high boot' against Hooper when the Newport player stuck his head down to knee level. Hooper never even made contact with him. Thought we'd left that standard of officiating back in non-league.

Wait for the pitches to start cutting up or for his agent to turn his head again. He'll soon go back off the boil.

Goalless after half an hour

Doesn’t sound like it’s a spectacle so far from the commentary

I’d be happy enough with a point today but if we can take all three so much the better

Been watching on iFollow. They've had the best of the chances and possession, but haven't caused us too much trouble yet. Our passing and composure is letting us down when we get the ball in the final third. The pitch isn't great either - everyone keeps slipping over. Woolford hammering a free kick in a decent position about 10 foot over the bar just now pretty much epitomizes the performance so far!

Awful goalkeeping. Amond just jumped around in front of McKeown's face as they set-up for the free kick, ran away and then McKeown didn't even dive. Looked comfortably savable.

Not playing well. Many over hit passes, clumsy challenges and not really sure how that went in the goal.

Amond being a bit of a male private to McKeown before the free kick was taken, preventing him from setting up the wall. Maybe something that should be written into the rules as it's unsportsmanlike.

Shame on you Amond.

Just got away with a massive penalty shout for them. Whitmore on the wrong side of Amond and looked like he barged him in the back. I'd have been incensed if we'd not got a penalty for that.

First league game this season where we’ve not been leading 1-0 at half time

Let’s hope we can do to others what they’ve done to us and turn things around in the second half

Newport are very limited but busy and making us look poor..

Can anyone tell me the point of Hooper, so fooking heartless..

We look tired, Mitch Rose on for Clifton or Woolford and Vernam on for Hooper for me..

Back four, Cook and Hess done ok, the rest anonymous..

Very poor so far, no idea what the frig McKeown was doing for that free kick didn't look that far away from him.

We have to seriously improve or it's a very long trip home

Wheres the passion we seem to just be going through the motions today. Midfield is none existent, our full backs and Inside forwards can't deal with their wing backs even though it should be 2 on 1 when we are defending. We're sitting too deep and just hoofing the ball aimlessly forward for Cook not to win the header. Hooper is once again a waste of space, I really was hoping he would carry on from where he ended last season, but no reverted to his bad habbits. Get Thomas on for Hooper and move Cook out wide and Rose in for Clifton as its just not working for him today.


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

Well that was not very good, we have not put 2 passes together. No composure, Newport players seem to have time on the ball and able to run the channels well. Reminds me of the FGR game. Lets hope Jolly has a fiendish masterplan because we dont look anywhere near scoring ourselves.

Well done to that referee, new to the league, under big pressure from newport players but took his time, consulted his linesman and made the correct decision, and then spoke to the newport captain about the pressuring from their players. Good stuff

One thing about having the picture with JT's commentary- makes you realise he's just not very good at keeping the listener informed about what's actually happening. Jobling is an awful summariser too. Feel sorry for people listening on the radio. I don't bother anymore.

Welsh had a brain fart but it was never a sending off.

Thomas has done more running in 2 minutes than Hooper had in 55.

Think it's time Rose was given a few more minutes alongside Thomas-I like Cook but it doesn't seem to be going for him.

Apparently he's too lazy for us. Amond can't score at League 2 level either.

Seems Newport are spending more time on their arses than actually playing football, and winning a free kick every time they do so. Frustrating.

Theyre not average though, not going on current form, theyve won 3 out of their last 4 games in all comps, and the draw they got was against the team that was top of the table. Theyre 5th in the league if they win this. But my gripe is how fine the lines are each game between us being on of those teams at the top end of the table, but instead were down in 17th

Tap the ball around for a bit in midfield, hammer it long towards nobody straight into the keepers arms. What on earth are we playing at.

Wes Thomas straight red. That looks harsh, high foot but he looked to be watching the ball.

Just a bad day from the sounds of things....Newport is not a happy hunting ground for us for some reason

Let’s hope we can bounce back next Saturday at home to Yeovil and get our first home win of this season

Rubbish performance, just didn't turn up at all. Not helped by Newport's non-stop gamesmanship and an inexperienced referee falling for it every time.

Still desperate for a goalscorer-deoesn't look like we'll be getting one in near future unless Jolly has something up his sleeve. If this inconsistency continues I fear we are going to struggle. Can't make wholesale changes because we are looking a bit threadbare. Hopes lifted one match then deflated the next. Shame about the red cards and injuries we have had but it just shows how light our squad is.

We deserved nothing from today todays performance not at the races at all, never a red card for Thomas. I think that pretty much covers it as theres nothing much more to say after a none performance like that.

Someone flagged up what a tricky first five games we had - it's not the worst start we could have made but the squad still looks light to me. I still can't work out why Hooper starts ahead of Vernam and why we signed Robles.

Come on blokes I know it's not the best start but FFS

Let Jolly boy work out what he has and how to use em.

I'm sure we will have a decent season.

Well done to all the Town that went today UTM 👍😀


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

Watched it when it happened-haven't had a chance to see it in slow motion


I've watched it a few times and I'm struggling to see the foul let alone figure out how the ref has given a red card.

Rubbish performance, just didn't turn up at all. Not helped by Newport's non-stop gamesmanship and an inexperienced referee falling for it every time.


We need to get a bit streetwise, Macca should have been in the refs ear when Podge was jumping in front of him.

Maybe the case mate but let's give it at least until Xmas to see where we are at.
Some on here have us relegated already.
We have taken points from the top two sides so there is something there.

Strangely quiet last week and midweek after the match. But within minutes of a loss up you pop.  How very unamazing. 🤔


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Don’t know how some of you lot cope in real life.

We’ve almost a whole new squad, new management, playing a new system and haven’t had the same starting 11 start two consecutive games - through injuries or suspensions - once this season. They’re going to be inconsistent.

A point away at MK Dons doesn’t make us worldbeaters and losing away at Newport won’t send us down. Just some perspective would be helpful. It’s boring going through the same histrionics every week.

It's not early season hope, its called being a fan you know the ones that actually support the team instead of slating them at every opportunity.

Totally agree - just gets a bit frustrating when the same bang average striker gets a start every week.

. I still can't work out why Hooper starts ahead of Vernam and why we signed Robles.


I can’t quite work out why you’ve decided to slag off a player that didn’t even make the pitch today.

As Jolley said when he signed him, he’s a young player with raw talent, who will have to work hard to push for a place. He’s a squad player with potential.

Has that cleared anything up for you at all?

See Jolley says we are definitely going to appeal it.

I saw enough against Lincoln to know that this side is an improvement on last season. Early days yet.

No - not at all. We've signed enough bang average benchwarmers down the years without signing someone who barely lit a candle in Spanish League 3. There's at least two young strikers in the youth set-up (Burrell & Paul-Jones) who would benefit from being part of a match-day squad.

You’ve barely seen Robles kick a ball. You’ve never seen either of them play men’s football.

I've seen Robles in two friendlies - I would love to be proved wrong, but based on those, I hope we don't ever need to start him.

Town will appeal against the red card and Thomas will score 3 goals in the next 3 games that will take us up the league,

Onward and upward,

By the way Upward had a good game today for Maidstone or was it Maidenhead ?

We should appeal no way was that a red the Newport players once again surrounding the ref and intimidating him this time it worked.

The disappointing thing is that, in 5 games, we've not turned up twice. We may have played well in three matches, but you'll struggle to get anywhere if you don't perform 40% of the time.

Hopefully more consistency to come.

Folks
Just look at the league tables at the position of the last three opponents. All top five I think.
Yeovil are seventh so won't be easy.
Please be patient and our team will get stronger.
Unfortunately modern society shoot from the hip without seeing the bigger picture.

GTFC onwards and upwards
