If I recall right he, Phil Barnes and another fell out with Newell big time and he made them scapegoats for everything. Completely freezing them out the team/squad.
Gary Montgomery I think. Basically sacked them with about 6 weeks of the season left (leaving us without a contracted senior keeper - good job Henderson wasn't recalled!) |

Tom Neweys goal against Blackburn was a cracker. One of the best from a defender.  UTMM
IIRC it was a free kick straight at the goalkeeper just under the bar? I think the keeper was more at fault for letting it in than it being a cracker of a goal |

Saw this podcast interview with him posted on Twitter earlier, so thought i'd share. https://twitter.com/SportJourneyPod/status/1278238832647983104?s=20Counts his time at Town as the best in his career, Buckley along with Wilder as the best managers he played under and captaining us at Wembley as his career highlight. We're also the club he spent the longest time at during his career. Can't fully comment as his time at the club coincides with the few years i kinda stopped watching us for a bit, but always seemed a bit of a strange one how despite the above he seemed to mainly be viewed in a negative light by a lot of Town fans. 150 apps for us, then I believe binned off by Newell (and replaced by Widdowson who was terrible for us that relegation season)...he then played in Lg2 and Lg1 for the duration of us being in the conference...can't have been that bad!
At the time we had been spoilt for a few years at a higher level and second tier football was in the recent past. I think if we signed a player like him today, he would probably be viewed differently. When you look at other players we released in that period, he is one of very few that managed to keep playing league football for a number of years. |

I'll never forget the save that Phil Barnes made at Wembley immediately prior to Hegarty (I think?) giving the penalty away. One of the best saves I've seen live but it seems forgotten about due to the penalty being given immediately after. |

I thought Barnes was a solid enough keeper, yeah not a world beater by any stretch but he did a job, as did Newey, likewise Gary Montgomery was a half decent back up

These sort of things... paying up two goalkeepers contracts in full and paying another one (wages & loan fee) for the final 3 months of the season are a lot to do with why Fenty's debt is so high and why I think he isn't entitled to expect it back. That season and the following (relegation) season we lost over £1,200,000. Not because of ITV digital. Not because of historic tax debt. Because the club was going down the shitter and Fenty threw money at it in desperation. Bringing in players. Paying off players. Paying off managers and coaching staff. |

Barnes was probably a better goalkeeper than Mildenhall. Mildenhall had the advantage of following Anthony Williams which made him seem better than he actual was. |

Newey really frustrated me.all he seemed to do was play long balls down the left wing, a third of which were over hit and about half went aimlessly out of play
That matches my main recollection of Newey too. His first thought always seemed to be a long ball. Any attempt to play football would break down once he got the ball. Now whether that was his personal choice or a lack of support in front of him, I really don't recall. |
