Edau paru Newport   (Newport Match thread)

Quoted from Stadium

Oh dear.
Ridiculous comment.
Playing against ten men for 53m & its down to "luck"

It’s not down to luck but it helps to have some. Newport didn’t create the goal just a deflected shot that drops nicely for their forward and other than Clifton’s slip they’ve not had another shot on target. In truth whilst we looked much better organised we have a lack of pace down the middle up front, failed to deliver quality crosses from very promising positions and lack a bit of creativity and composure when going forward.

Just can’t see us scoring too often but that was a terrible surface to play any football on the ground so let’s hope a slightly better surface at BP next week sees us getting 3 points.

90 mins of 2 strikers stood in the penalty box waiting for a cross and we fanny about passing sideways in bloody midfield.

You have 2 (and eventually 3) strikers all aerial threats and both full backs and both wingers gave them 2 half decent crosses in 95 mins

Joke

Sometimes is better to be absolutely shìte like against Scunny, or lose in farcical circumstances like last week because the anger marks the pain. I’m so, so down after that, worse than at any time in 09/10, could easily lash myself in the Humber.

Disappointed. Did enough to win

I don't think you get this game called football.

Good first half then they had a player sent. They changed it, scored, and we couldn’t. Why could we not change our system to play against 10? Like for like in our subs and it made no difference. Disappointed 😞

They did "create" the goal by gambling & getting it into the area
Did we do anything similar,ie send some balls into the area etc?
Once again excuses about the surface but it's the same for both sides.

One of the reasons I wasn't a massive fan of Hurst was that he's never been the best at finding a way to break down teams that retreat to their 18 yard box. He doesn't do anything different but change like for like. Doesn't take a risk with throwing a defender forward, going three at the back, throwing on an extra striker, anything to break the rhythm of the opposition.

Having said all that, I think we are fooking cursed and I am in no way superstitious.

We needed a solid midfielder who could pick a forward pass from in front of our defenders!

It's results based and we haven't had any. As good as possession is it's goals that count and we hardly get any. People will look back at this season and say they lost. They won't say their play improved or they looked good at times, nope just lost.

They won't blame oloway or Fenty just say they they lost and didn't score.

On a positive note I did see some green shoots, but mid field creativity has not improved nor has running of the ball or finding channels. Doesn't matter who is in mid field they just pass sideways most of the time.

I saw effort, determination, enthusiasm and guts. The new keeper did ok and I think the team will come good.
3 points against Tranmere and we're up and running.
