He has actually got us playing some nice stuff. Mind you, 'nice stuff' this season means anything that's doesn't involve players colliding with each other, going to sleep on the pitch, confusing which goal we are attacking, forgetting what they are supposed to do with the football when it's...

You'll get a variant on what he used to do at Stevenage. You should be worried since we seem to be a bit of a bogey team for you since we retuned to the league ... or not. We actually look miles better than when we played the likes of Cambridge BTW.

Hah! The local rag have run a story on this today and our Board have done a 'nothing to see here' response claiming that there has been no approach for Wezzer. Of course, football being football, this is what was said re: Sheridan before he was photographed being tapped up by Notts County...

I'm suspecting that the PNE gig was a step too far for him. All we want for now is someone who can maintain the football league status we waited for years to get back. Elimination of basic mistakes, a tiny bit of tactical nous and a few points from some uninspiring draws would do for starters...

http://www.newport-county.co.uk//news/article/2016-17/rodney-parade-to-add-vital-drainage-to-pitch-3347514.aspx I don't know whether this link will work but ... We'll never have a match postponed again :thumbs:

We are floundering at the moment both on and off the pitch. However, he has a proven record in League 2 and this experience is exactly what we need at the moment. We have forgotten how to win. Given a choice between his tactics and the way his teams have played in the past and the lack of...

Well I doubt they were knocking down the door to manage us. Westley it is. We will survive relegation with free-flowing football, unbridled sportsmanship and the respect and affection from rival fans throughout the season. He might be just the right man for the job.

You beat me to it. No surprise here. One win in our last 22 matches so it's not really a knee-jerk reaction. We only stayed up last season because Sheridan managed to galvanise the squad and scrape together the necessary points. Fair play to the Board for giving Feaney the chance to assemble his...

I'm with PortyPort. I cannot see us getting a win. we have forgotten how. Nevertheless we seem capable of scoring goals from all over the pitch even if we cannot defend for toffee. Time to give Rhys Heaey a crack and any player making basic defensive errors should be hung from Newport bridge by...

I cannot let the opportunity to let this one pass by unnoticed: We've had to move the date for our already rearranged fixture with Barnet because there's a clash with the Sainsbury's staff do!

Barcaluton I like it. Yes, the comments I read were on Outlaws and there was a quote in our local rag that McGeehan had called us a 'disgrace to League 2' (!) and that weird Kevin Keeganesque outburst by your manager referred to our tactics. TBH I'm more concerned that we have players who seem...

Whilst it is mildly amusing to listen to Luton fans (and management) who seem to see their team as some sort of exponents of the purest form of the beautiful game, let's remember this is League Two and pretending it's not makes us sound like two bald men arguing over a comb. Luton fans are...

You should do better than 17th on yesterday's showing. That's the best performance I've seen from a Mansfield team against us for a few years. You need to improve at defending set pieces, but you are going to get a few goals. Although our defending was woeful, you took your chances really well.

What was going on with some of the Mansfield supporters during the match? I saw a flare go off, then a lot of running around and then the stewards jumping in and then the police arriving?

Randall will be fine with some matches under his belt. He lost possession, misdirected a few passes and could have been sent off after a mis-timed two-footed challenge, but there's a decent player in there and as he gets to know his teammates he'll improve. Like Baz said,we'll do better this...

Interesting to see if Bogle can make the step up this season. He'll need to be a quick learner.

Top draw bickering. Clearly there's a lot of jittery Mansfield and Leyton Orient fans out there because they both have us early on and we are such a massively unknown quantity with our inexperienced manager, bottom six budget and completely revamped squad. No need to argue between yourselves...

That's one way of looking at it. It's all looking a bit inevitable now. I cannot see D&R or York putting the sort of run they need. Last night's match was all a bit two bald men arguing over a comb, but since we always lose in a Tuesday night, I'll take a point. The sunlit uplands of mid-table...

We still have to play Hartlepool (h) Yeovil (a) and Stevenage (a). More worryingly we are yet to play Wycombe (h) Portsmouth (a) The Gas (h) Northampton (h) Accrington (h) Oxford (h) and AFC Wimbeldon (a). No way are we out of the mix, especially if we play like we played last night. Lots of...

I see Deano is heading up the consortium that is going to 'save' Bolton Wanderers (after a spectacularly bad managerial career). David Holdsworth last heard of at Goole according to Wiki. Hope you make the play-offs after the last couple of seasons of struggle. If you do, there may be some...
