Just Back ...on the train  (merged)

Faulty Train. Currently stuck just past bristol in a stationary train. Yay.

Interesting to hear Artell’s post match when he talked about asking Shaun & Ben to take 5 mins to think about what changes to make and present him with their options & credit to him listened made the changes.

He’s not only coaching players he’s coaching the coaches, different level this guy for sure.

Quoted from Mappers

Arthur is a very good player was one of the main things I took from this and the MK Dons game , the ball seems to be stuck to his foot when he dribbles / receives it ; I hope he gets a long run in the team as I think once this more creative/technical style settles in he could be a really key player.

Yes he's a good player, but I thought he was a bit indecisive and ponderous with the ball and could have been a bit more direct and decisive than he was. Frustrated me a bit today....

I’m delighted
Predicted 1-1 and Rose to score in prediction league.

Long way off the leader but still half a season to go….

I think that Hunt needed to be subbed earlier, and the reason being that he can make great passes, but can also get caught on the ball by more physical opponents with nudges and pushes that the ref was not seeing.

Holohan came on like a locomotive train, with something to prove and immediately impacted the game.

10 minutes earlier on, who knows?

My other bug bear - shoot on sight, especially if in the centre and around the box area.  

Morris nearly scored with a 25 yard screamer, why don't our players take a chance?

If 1 in 5 score a goal, great, confident players will get the crowd going as well !

The positions are being made - take the shot !!!

Make Mullarkay practice centres, please  getting where needed, end product needs improvement !

Quoted from RonMariner

Yes, we are certainly resilient. It seems the mind set of the players is really improving.

When I saw the score flash with Bogle's goal I was confident that all was not lost. A couple of months ago it was game over when ever we went behind and when we scored first it seemed only a matter of time before we conceded. So things definitely looking up.

You can assess the mindset of the players and the likely outcome of the game based on a score flash? Think that’s an emotional response and fantasy rather than any kind of considered or rational argument.

I'll put the full table & results on tomorrow, but not as far off the lead as you think. You are only 22 points behind the leader and scored 11 points today.

Morris had 3 efforts from outside the box, one bobbled about 5 yards wide and two flew high over the bar because he was closed down by town defenders and he wasn’t allowed the time and space, we did have chances and Holohan should have done better when he blasted over from 6 yards. Eisa did have a couple of efforts that lacked direction and pace and Newport restricted him to having to pass instead off shooting.

I think our players did take chances, Newport closed the ball down every time and blocked shots from the edge of the area, they also successfully crowded Eisa out from cutting inside for a shot which they'd clearly done their homework on.
