I know he can't play against us on Saturday but how is Amond doing at Exeter?

Newport 3-4 Arsenal U21s. Thoroughly entertaining game, went 1-0. 1-1, 1-2, 2-2, 3-2, 3-3, 3-4. We used first-team fringe players rather than academy kids and it's probably just as well but we are short at centreback with two first-teamers injured and had to field a midfielder at CB -...

BBC Wales says Hatswell not interested in the permanent job, local paper says he is still taking Flynn's advice by phone. Sounds like a functioning partnership with a club to go to. I see Bristol Rovers have a new training ground right by the M4/M5 junction...

Finn Azaz from Villa, doing well and he should after being a regular for Cheltenham last season. Ollie Cooper from Swansea, should be one of the first names on the team sheet. Timmy Abraham from Fulham. Blinding pace but immature habit of fouling after losing the ball, time after time.. Jake...

Ours against Arsenal U21s is also next week, believe it was initially scheduled for last night. Both teams have call-ups.

There were rumours a few weeks ago that he was going at the end of September. On the principle that the simplest explanation is usually correct, the precision of the date suggests he handed in his notice as per his contract which ran until the end of the season. It was known he was getting fed...

Yes, he said he made the same mistake five times at Barrow. Lewis has generally been excellent but he did repeatedly turn into traffic and lose the ball, though I doubt it was that many times.

It's now reported Yes, initial report said Scunthorpe would be his last game which on reflection didn't make much sense. Still be some emotion, for Len Ashurst.

Newport v Scunthorpe will be emotional as Flynn's last game.

Baffled by County on Friday. First quarter Barrow couldn't get the ball off us. Second half we couldn't get the ball off them. Abject surrender and puzzling substitutions, but I doubt the wisdom of the manager calling the performance cowardly in the paper and naming one player for making the...

Only watched the nine-minute highlights but I think we must have a much clearer idea of the best starting XI. Flynn said Tuesday was so poor some had played themselves right out of the squad. Couple of injuries and possibly a third, but apart from that two midweek starters didn't even make the...

Swindon are in the Sydney Morning Herald today. https://www.smh.com.au/sport/soccer/meet-the-sydney-plumber-who-saved-an-english-soccer-club-from-oblivion-20210915-p58rwp.html

We old gits remember County wearing black shorts with tangerine stripes in the early 70s. They looked like swimming trunks. I think it was dropped after two games because the players didn't like being laughed at, but it might have been only one. GLC sponsored a shirt years ago, it's on this...

And there I was thinking it would be taking a point away at the table-toppers in our fifth away game out of six.

I don't know what the current covid situation is, but we might have so many midfielders it will be hard to pick. Three loanees whose clubs would no doubt prefer they played plus a kid who might have more potential than any of them, plus Upson and Willmott who've made good starts, plus Dolan and...

Joss Liability.

I strongly agree on reciprocity. A lot of our supporters say Cardiff, but it's more than 30 years since we were in the same division, and then only briefly. Frankly I find abuse of Cardiff it a bit cringeworthy these days especially after we borrowed their training facilities before our first...

By all accounts solid, discounting Southampton who were sensational and Salford where apparently no-one did themselves justice. Clarke captained the team once.

OK, without knowing who most deserves to carry the can for Salford I will go with Day Norman Clarke Demetriou Haynes Dolan Cooper Upson Azaz Fisher Telford Subs Townsend, Lewis, Bennett, Willmott, Livermore, Abraham, Hylton

Can't begin to guess our line-up, I could suggest a plausible starting XI and find half a dozen are wrong. Depends if anyone gets cast into outer darkness after what was apparently a shocker at Salford, and whether Telford gets brought back from outer darkness after playing really well in the...
