Newports top scorer on the bench must still be carrying that knock

If Bogle scores, do we think he’ll celebrate?

He'll be cupping his ears towards the pontoon while doing a victory lap along the whole stand.

He’ll be a good 250 miles from the right location if he does…..

Is this an unchanged team from last week?

Quoted from Heisenberg

He’ll be a good 250 miles from the right location if he does…..

He'll run the entire way Adebayor style all the way to Cleethorpes just to do it.

Quoted from 123614

Is this an unchanged team from last week?

Yes, the same starting 11.

Quoted from DB

Yes, the same starting 11.

Thank you

we've started well.

Getting terrible vibes from this referee. He's already missed blatant fouls on Mullarkey and Hunt and we're only 6 minutes in.

Agreed, yet soon as one of them go down it's a free kick.

Doesn't the ref have to stop the game if he is hit by the ball?

Quoted from 123614

Only if possession changes because of it

Refs giving us jack today

Refs useless

Quoted from It Bites

Refs useless

Again

Very young for a ref, early 30's I think.

Sutton, Forest Green and Colchester all losing.

Town look composed.  Glennon not as on fire as he has been but Harry looks more on it than last week.  This could go anyway at the moment.

We're giving them far too much at corners. There always seems to be an unmarked man

This referee is a girl private.

Ah intercourse off ref. Giving them absolutely everything

Town playing some good football so far.

Hilarious dive from Bogle on the edge of the box, no contact whatsoever and the ref is right in front of it, and still gives Newport a free kick. This bloke is absolutely incompetent.

Up against it at the minute- moving away from the ref for a second

A dive and handball from Newport leads to them getting a corner. Just remarkable levels of officiating incompetence.

Quoted from Chrisblor

Ye right, the ref is a buffoon

As rodman says, get the ball to Gnahoua

Rodman talks a lot of sense.

Think we need half time. Good start but Newport have out muscled us, taken charge and we've been quite naive at times. Bogle would almost certainly have scored if he hadn't slipped. Started to get to grips with them again the last few minutes though.

Little Newport fouls, pushes and pulls that the ref keeps ignoring means they’ve been able to get a foothold in dangerous areas.

Cartwright is having a good game so far. He is improving every match.

Half Time  0-0

Come on Town

Think we're losing the battle in midfield really, but that being said it's still 0-0 and Newport haven't exactly torn us to shreds or anything. Hunt and Clifton both haven't really used the ball well when they've had possession. There's spaces there to attack Newport through but we just need to be more accurate and composed with our passing and decision making in the middle of the pitch.

Good game actually. As the half wore on Hunt seems to be struggling with the physicality of the game. Maybe a game for a bit of Green in the second half.

They are stopping us playing through them and seem quite physical  - can we go out second half and implement our style , get Hunt /Arthur/ Eisa etc some space to play ?

If we do i think we win .

Strange half that, played some decent stuff at times and got in behind well, but equally looked open at the back. Pitch isn’t helping, plays like an old astroturf one, bouncing a lot and running fast. Alex Hunt needs to show a bit more composure on the ball, and Harry needs to stop doing everything at 100 mph. Could go either way this one.

What is it Like on TV or radio? For me Arthur is struggling to keep the ball and is lightweight in being challenged or challenging for the ball, I'd bring a cm on and put clifton out wide possibly. Apart from that we need to just get that final ball right.

The atmosphere sums up the game, none eventful

Just need to get to grips with the physicality that Newport are showing but they won't be able to keep up that pace forever. Need to use the ball better when we do have it, just need to get the players composed again like how we started, snapped at a lot of passes that needed a bit of quality in the final third.

Newport not done anything that makes them seem like taking over the game though, if we can start using the ball better and create chances we'll soon frustrate them into making mistakes. The ref is letting an awful lot go though which plays into a physical side like Newport.

Hunt is getting bullied off the ball, hopefully he can pick up in the 2nd half, he's lost the ball every time he's been under any pressure 1st half.

Harry had a couple of nearly moments and is looking more likely to burst through and hurt them. Might be a game for Holohan to come off the bench if Hunt can't get a grip of it, he's a bit more physical.

Maybe like to see Khan on for Eisa who has been very quiet.

Arthurs playing well, having more effect than Eisa

Quoted from Madeleymariner

Arthurs playing well, having more effect than Eisa

Probably not far wrong, I'm obviously sat in Arthur's side of the pitch... I'm sure DA will change it after 10 15 mins if things don't change. Utm

We could possibly do with Green being on, to kick their midfield about a bit and rough them up, as good as the Hunt, Harry, Conteh trio has been they're not the roughest group

Quoted from sonofmadeleymariner

With this ref, Green might not last more than 10 minutes.

Come on Town, we need our first away win.
UTM

Maher doesn't look good.

Oh and as soon as I type that he gives a thumbs up doesn't he  ;D

Far too much space for Bogle

Newport should have scored there and from the corner there was no-one within 10 yards of Morris!
Not looking good today.

That diag is killing us at the minute.

Waste of a free kick.

We have played some good footie but don't look like scoring.

Mullarkey needs to spend less time making tiktoks and more time practising how to cross a ball consistently well.

Are they really good with their blocking, or are we too slow in getting our shots off?

We've been pretty awful in the final third today.

Quoted from 123614

Are they really good with their blocking, or are we too slow in getting our shots off?

Bit of both, they position themsleve well, so ttbey're always there to make ths block, but at the same time we also take to long to pull the trigger

Clifton and Mullarkey's use of the ball today has been absolutely dire. Quite surprised we've made it to 70 minutes without any changes since Artell in previous games has shown he hasn't been scared to make an early sub.

Inevitable really.

Clifton and Maher need to come off now.

1-0 Bogle

Terrible defending, Conteh's flicked it on to their unmarked man and somehow Bogle's allowed to squeeze it in at the near post. Deserved for them, we've been flipping shite.

That was coming, we've done very little to deal with Bogle all game

Dreadful absolutely dreadful today .

flipping rubbish. And theres some who think we can have a dabble with the play offs😂😂

Terrible defending again

Eisa left loads of space to get the cross in.  That's been the difference, they've shut us down very quickly

Oh dear thats not good

Usual effort from Clifton but his touch has been ruddy awful today.

Maher so slow to get back with Bogle for the goal.

We've played like we are petrified of Newport for some bizarre reason. Gave them way too much respect and like we were  happy for a point as soon as we kicked off.

Not the mentality David has spoken of tbh, very strange.

We have been so slow to get to anything today. Need a fukin miracle to get back in to this.

ROSE!!!!

1-1 get in!

1-1

flipping yesssssss incredible cross from Gav and a proper poacher's goal from Rose

Rose yes 1  1

Need to get this back, A point would have been good today

That will shut a couple of people up who get a stiffy as soon as we are losing.

Get in

Yess ROSE AGAIN

That cross and run though 🥰🥰

There's your Christmas miracle 🎅

Rose did well to get a touch on Holohans cross then

That was class from Gav

Great goal. Brave play from Rose, need him to be alright

Lol

That's it Omar get frustrated because it's not going your way anymore. Be happy if he starts stomping around and being useless.

Quoted from TAGG

There you go, miracles do happen at this time of year if you're a good boy

Best cross we've made all game.  We've bene looking for the perfect ball all the time.  More of that.

Artell has got them believing, come on Town we can win this.

Mattie Pollock gets a rare appearance off the bench for Watford. Really hope he makes it

We've played like an inconsistent team because we still are. One win and people think we are play off certs.There is still work for Artell to do.

We've done really well since we equalised. Holohan and Clifton should have both put us in the lead

intercourse sake Ainley, slide that through and that’s a goal.

Bogles still a tosser

Does anybody know the gate figures

Latest  Stockport 8-0 Sutton

Maher a liability.

Much improved last 20 . Good subs that helped us .

FT  1-1

Could be worse

Think Newport will be the happier to come out of that with a draw. After the equaliser they went into panic mode and looked very vulnerable. Holohan knows he had a great chance to score and Ainley should have threaded a pass through on goal instead of throw himself to the floor hoping to win a free kick just outside the box.

Reasonable point. Sounds like Newport were a tough team for us to play as we try to build confidence in our new style of play, with some players struggling with the press. Good impact from the bench to get a point and we keep our unbeaten run going. We still haven't kept a clean sheet since September 2nd, though, which is holding us back.

They came from behind and got an away point, 6 unbeaten in the league. That's pretty good in my book.

Well fought town. Never an easy place to go

Will take that all day long . Still early days under a new manager and unbeaten.. Just seem to need that extra bit of spark

Relativel happy with that. Heading in the right direction.

Now closer to the play-offs than the drop line .....

We looked the more refined second half , really excited with where this team can go under Mr Artell in the next couple of years .

They’re on a decent run, so are we. Decent point and another place gained.

Didn't play that great so take the point and move on..

Quoted from Croxton

Maher a liability.

I'm afraid that both our regular CBs are.
Imo DA needs to bring in two quality Center backs if possible.

I'll take a draw away from home against 12 men. Green and Holohan coming on changed things for us, especially Green he made sure Newport didn't have an easy ride.

Mullarkey and Ghanoua as a pairing are looking better and better every week at the moment, but Ghanoua gets MoM for me out the two. Every time he got the ball today I swear we created an opportunity to score.

I think today showed both where weve improved but also where weve still got a long way to go. Felt we looked focused and some players looked much more confident, but we made some poor decisions and gave away possession even when not under alot of pressure sometimes. A good point and continue to be hard to beat.

With Fgr, Sutton, Crewe and Tranmere all losing today that’s another point away from the drop zone and we have also overtaken Doncaster today.  

Another couple of good results and I think we can forget any talk of relegation. I’m pretty confident it’s already unlikely in the extreme.

Well earned draw, not the greatest spectacle of a game, but our defence certainly keeps you on the edge of your seat ;D

A decent point in the. Too late with the subs today, Hunt was getting bullied and we were much the better side when Holohan replaced him.

The comments about Maher are way off the mark. Top player at this level. Thought the keeper might have thrown himself at the cross for the first goal, was very close him.

Another game unbeaten is a real positive.

Don’t think you mean Crewe.

All things considered - a good point. Run continues. I’ll take that and move on.

Good point that, unbeaten run goes on which is something I’m sure DA will be putting in the players heads for sure.

Now a point nearer the play off places then the relegation places

I think Forest Green will buy their way out of trouble in January.
We need to make sure we don’t get sucked into the danger zone again.
Good point well earned.
Thought Eisa played some loose passes at times. Clifton seems to be back to his normal self and Arthur superb.

Funny old game how some people see things differently. I though Clifton was poor today. We know he has an engine but this afternoon there was quite a combination of poor touches and poor decisions for me and I thought he was lucky to stay on.

You could be right.

I know there is a long long way to go, but right now Sutton look heavy favorites for the drop and Colchester are sinking like a stone.

Next weekend is huge. if we beat Harrogate we move ahead of them too and our climb up the table continues.  

Thought we were very average today but a massive point in the right direction. Thank god for D Rose.

Well done town and UTMM

I think we just have to accept his limitations , he's not a young player anymore . It will be interesting to see if Artell can improve him as the only thing missing IMO is his finsl ball /shot which can sometimes be quite frustrating - in both yesterdays and the MK Dons game he had 2 or 3 opportunities to either put someone in or have a decent shot/cross but either chose the wrong option or didn't have the technical capability to execute .
