Newport match thread

Quoted from Mariner John

Can't even pass the ball when hitting it only 5 yards, that's about all the players.

Stop hoofing it past midfield thinking you are passing it to Vardy to run onto, you aren't

Someone tell Edwards he isn't Sterling even if he thinks he is. Send him on an intensive, "How to keep your balance course" Then preferably pass it to one of our own players, instead of losing it 9 times out of 10

Shoot when you get a chance, the goal is the rectangle thing with a net behind it.

The number of fouls we gave away last night was ridiculous. 20 is a joke

Succesful crosses, zero. Corners please oh please try to hit it past the first defender.

When playing it out from the back and it isn't working you could always try another way.

Hitting it past a defender is wonderful if you have the speed to outrun him, you don't so stop it.

I would add, stop making dodgy tackles in the penalty area (Rose please note)

Quoted from Rick12

I dont know where our budget fits with other teams in this division  but I try to take a pragmatic view . Make and try to get the best out of the players we have.

Hopefully Edwards will improve. Has some spark there and I always like watching him.

Budget is another matter , how much we pay Gibson or paid for him or the length of contract he got is irrelevant in some ways..... the point is he struggles to do some very basic things that i would expect of a professional footballer and one that plys his trade as a striker....ie kick the ball in the direction he wants it to go.  
His goal for all the world looked like a scuffed effort that deceived the keeper, he is either offside, gives the ball away trying a first time lay off or loses it on his second/ third touch and in front of goal it would appear he just shuts his eyes and swings his leg.

The one thing that did impress me was some of his dead ball strikes but he doesnt even have the rights on those now with Rose, Bennett, Williams and Windsor muscling in. Would love to support him and believe in him fully but i just dont see "it" in him.

Regards Edwards, he has the skill running with the ball which is great , but his passing/ distribution is pretty poor and he overcooks it more often than not.  Improvements in this could come in time and come with playing regularly in a position with constant partners around him to build understanding.  More hopeful with him but not sure i or we have the time and patience to wait.
