This ref is hell bent on gifting Newport 3 points.
We’re still the better side, creating the better chances.
Absolutely reeks of a late winner for them, though.
We’ve had a goal disallowed for offside that wasn’t. Handball missed leading up to the sending off (which wasn’t a sending on).
Fair to say this ref is making a name for himself, for all the wrong reasons.
Lee Bell was right. Absolute dimwit!
Newport (a) - expecting a tough game this afternoon.
Cieřan Kelly and Lewis Richards still out injured - could be back in 3 weeks.
Hoping we field all our influential players from the off. We have a massive game against Birmingham Tues, and I can’t help but think some heads will be turned...
Hmm, I think that’s a little unjust though. You could argue our last three 1-0 wins were a bit grind-like, but we’re only 7 goals behind free scoring Notts - and ironically, we’ve scored more than Vale, albeit they’ve played a game less.
For me, the question whether we’re good enough for...
Accrington Stanley (h) -
Mixed feelings going into this one. Looking at the head to head, Accrington haven’t beaten us at VP in the league since that embarrassing, ‘Welcome to L2’ hammering in 2007. We’re evidently very hard to beat on home soil, losing just once all season.
Injuries to key...
Losing against inferior opposition and beating those above us in the league has been a thing for as long as I can remember.
Harrogate WILL beat us today. Nearly 5/1 with William Hill. Easy money.
Go on then, I’ll throw my tuppence in…
Harrogate (h) - seems we’re without Cieřa Kelly and Lewis Richards through injury. Both went off last week against Wimbledon. Jack Shepherd was also carrying a knock after the midweek game at Rotherham. Expect Paul Huntington to fill the gap if Jack ain’t...
Likewise.
Birmingham home or away. I’ve never been to St. Andrew’s. Sure we’d take a few thousand down.
Brum will shift whatever we give ‘em - prob the entire Midland Road (4,300ish).
It’s just another game the day after, no?
We’ve been to the new Wembley three times, but I wouldn’t say no to another visit - I doubt anyone else would, either.
Who gives a shit - it’s a day out at Wembley, swelling club coffers in the process.
We’ve partaken in bigger Cup Finals at Wembley in recent years, fully expecting to get tonked, but that doesn’t change anything.
