Tuesday 19th October

[Bottega Don]

It's mental how any team seems to go on a bad run of form when every team in the division has a habit of ending teams bad runs

 

[Red Deserato]

Off to Mansfield for the first time after moving up to the midlands, get to the stags leaky back line in the flesh!

 

[hellogregory]

it will be another defeat tonight. Newport players will be well up for it to impress the new manager who’ll no doubt be watching.

2-0

 

[valefan16]

Few injuries tonight which is a worry.

Proctor is out, Lewis Cass is out and Gibbons moved to the bench so assume not 100%.

Lloyd starts whos yet to impress with Wilson, Aaron Martin comes in at the back who had a stinker last appearance and a rare start for Mal Benning who in fairness deserved a go after Saturday.

Bit worried by the selection if I’m honest, good to see Rodney on the bench though.

 

[AdamStag]

Stevenage at home. They’ve won 1 in 10.

we’d also not won in 11 and we were shit

you’ll be fine, go 1-0 up after 10 mins or so and it’ll be game over

 

[hellogregory]

It’s now been over a month since we scored a goal.

 

[GTFCfish]

Neither Harrogate or FGR will finish in the top 3.

Made both of them look very ordinary. Just had a good start, that's all.

You can’t base that from one game seen against both of them though, last season I could’ve said the same about Cheltenham and Bolton who were both shite against us.

 

[leedsvaliant]

Eurgh. I'm even less confident now. Not sure about that line up at all. Smacks of trying to keep it tight which invariably leads to a balls up.

Maybe nervous after the Sutton debacle.

Surely Politic, Dave or Amoo gets on before Lloyd!

 

[Conker]

looks like mansfield fans have had enough and not bothered tonight, a lot more empty seats than usual.

 

[Chief Rocka]

Why not watch it on IFollow.

Was at graft, now come to my senses and watching!

 

[BarraMatt]

HelloGregory's pessimism and predictions ruined within the first minute.

 

[hellogregory]

I hope we haven’t scored too early!

 

[BarraMatt]

Scunny miss a pen inside the first couple of minutes.

 

[Bottega Don]

And that's just one reason we're getting relegated, barely scored this season and you just cannot miss chances like that

 

[shoddycollins]

Well that goal was worth the iFollow fee on its own

 

[MadJohn]

I'm not sure what the protocol is here. We've scored away from home. Does that count? What happens now?

 

[Bottega Don]

Can see the tiny bit of confidence drained from the squad once that penalty was missed, if Barrow get one early it'll end 5 or 6 again

 

[kieran_vale]

We look very lethargic so far.

Mansfield credit where it’s due look up for this.

 

[shoddycollins]

Newport have been the more dangerous team since the goal, but we have a lead to protect and hopefully can regroup

 

[shoddycollins]

Can't believe we've only just gone into the 21st minute. There's been so much action already, could be a classic, though i would happily see the it turn into a turgid affair with no further goals.

 

[kieran_vale]

Not quite sure what the point of us using a long throw is if we are not really putting anyone in the box to attack it.

 

[BarraMatt]

Sounds like it's been a shite opening 30 minutes, from us anyway.

 

[shoddycollins]

Well that was coming. We've not tightened up at all at the back, been very sloppy and now we have to turn around the momentum of the game or we'll lose.

 

[shoddycollins]

Yeah. We don't know how to defend. Still chance of another goal in this for us though

 

[Conker]

Port Vale have been absolutely dreadful and they are still winning.

 

[Back in the DHSS]

Jay Spearing peno 1-0. Playing well thus far.

 

[hellogregory]

That’s that. This team doesn’t know how to come from behind.

Huge game coming up on Saturday. Hopefully we might have a new manager in by then.

 

[kieran_vale]

Port Vale have been absolutely dreadful and they are still winning.

Aye we have been absolutely shocking no arguments. Great goal to be fair by Conlon but outside of that we have been garbage.
