Tilley with the ball at his feet is lethal, looks like one of them players you hate to play against, because you can't get it off him without giving away a foul!
Benson controls the game, and always wants the ball at his feet.
Garmston wasn't great, but still plenty of time on him, and we've been use to Glennon, who is a class above.

Green is not a like for like replacement for Hanson as he is woeful against centre halfs. When playing alongside Hanson, he never reads the flick on, gambles or follows up. He has little heart , guile or USP and still gives away free kicks. Even so, he still got on the pitch before Clarke and Max! There is an element in our support who shout encouragement to him and badly want him to come good but, with the addition of Tilley, Clarke and Grandin he simply has to take his chances better than he has lately.

Defence were at fault for both those goals. First one Waterfall let the ball past him and Garmston lost his man. Then the second there were 3 Newport players on the left of the six yard box in space when Macca saved the first shot.
Macca never "saved" the first shot, he pushed it out giving them the chance to score from that.

It's a little harsh on Garmston. That was Pollock's man and he just sprinted off towards the guy that Waterfall left. He does stuff like this fairly often and is exposed for pace, but seems to get away with it because he's young and we want him to be good. Yet Macca is getting caned by the same people who he called him a hero a few weeks ago for not holding onto a 70mph shot that swerved through a load of bodies and then 3 unmarked players there to tap it in. The defence is shite and it's exposing Macca. He's not been at his best either, but there are plenty of other mistakes going on in that defence without blaming the most loyal player we have for everything.

This gets my goat. He wasn't very loyal when he slapped in a transfer request when dropped for a far better keeper than he will ever be. Also I didn't see much of a swerve and 70 mph?

You can't terminate a contract for no cause. We could pay it up or negotiate a settlement but, either way, he'll be getting a good chunk of money from us if he leaves. I didn't think he was bad last night, but he really has been a big disappointment overall. Looks like he's certainly lost something as he's not the hustling, bustling striker I'd been led to believe we were signing. He's not that old for a footballer. Did he get injured at Salford?
I tend to agree that Ohman will be on his way too. He's a decent enough stopper, but I've not seen anything to indicate he will be good enough with the ball at his feet for the way that Holloway wants to play.
What I meant by terminate was to give them a pay off, a bit like Ogbu and Ring I would imagine. I agree Green hasn’t looked that bad, but he hasn’t looked good enough to be a valuable asset for a team hoping to push on for next season. With Öhman, I think he’s a great player, but like you say, I don’t think he’s good enough with the ball at his feet. I think he’s just fallen out of favour with Ollie, and should he move on, I would remember him as a player who helped us massively when we needed a good commanding defender who was good in the air.

Contrary to most i didnt rate Green in preseason nor has my opinion ever changed. Imo he got away with it having Hanson near him who was on fire (still is) But after our great start i must have been wrong 🤣
What I've never like about him.... A few years ago there was piece on talksport about players who 'give there all' but don't actually give alot! Players who the fans warm to due to their perceived 'effort' but their team mates know aren't putting in a shift. Ive never really played the game so i might be wrong about most things, but ray parlour and the like were talking about how these sorts of players exist at clubs, they even stuck a name on it and I thought Green reeked of it a long time ago. Long before his wonder strike at Chelsea!
He seems to move alot but looks more like he's doing a dance around the ball/play to make himself look better than he actually is. Surely 3 managers would see this straight away?? Obviously not? Why would he play like that under so many managers. A professional. I have no idea but this is the impression he's always given me
Even so I was surprised he turned up late when he'd been handed a start. Even more surprised that we've kept him as long as we have

| Christ you all wanted him sacked a few months ago. 6th place finish and he's now the messiah and can do no wrong Update: I think I've got this right - He was the messiah. He then wasn't. He then was again. Then it turned out he actually wasnt. He turned into one big huge messiah again. Now he's not actually the messiah we thought he was . Now I'm hoping he rises again quickly |

Question. Why did the ref have to spend several minutes talking to 5 of their players, before eventually booking Hanson, for what appeared to me as nothing?

We've ended up with no choice really (possibly because he was injured when IH came in?). We can't bring anyone in and with Cook, Rose and Cardwell injured he gets a place on the bench by default!
