First visit to Newport, otherwise I might not have been stirred to make the trip - which seems to be the attitude of many of our faithful band. Most of us had turned our thoughts to next season many matches ago but the team/manager still have at least half an eye on getting results to keep the season alive a bit longer.
Similar side and approach to Accrington seems likely, with the only questions being who to put on the right and centre of the 3 in a 4231 for the first half and thus who to come on when/if we move to 442 in the second half. I'd be happy to see more of Ismael against a lesser team - but that would probably put Williamson/Spencer or Dunk on the bench and lessen our threat going forward. Derry will play Spencer or Ismael ahead of Simpson but my best side would be:
Norris
Furlong, Legge, Coulson, Haynes
Ledson, Dunne
Berry, Simpson, Dunk
Williamson.
Clark, Spencer and Ismael to come on in the second half, although Horne deserves a run.
Exiles seem to have less to play for (although only 3 are contracted for next season) but could do with ending a disappointing run. Lenell John-Lewis among others (Rodman is another Grimsby connection) will revive memories of the Conference. An away win is needed or the season will fizzle out - and I can see us getting a goal or two. 1-2 in front of 2,036 (156 travelling U's - our lowest Saturday travelling support for the season. We only had 123 at Exeter on a Weds).
