I thought we played some good stuff today and barely give Newport a sniff. It's just a shame we are so toothless up front.
I thought Songo'o had his best game in a City shirt today.
Pereira showed some classy silky touches, shame about his end product though.
Walker should have buried the best chance of the match that fell our way.

Hughes said that the recruitment for next season is starting in the next week or so.
You can see how he wants to play.
Thought we showed some class in midfield today but needed Vernam on much earlier as we were very slow in our build up play. Periera looked to make things happen.
All in all a decent game and for once we looked in control for long spells.Stop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand...Inspector, Lancashire Bantam, Bronco and 4 others like this. -

Enjoyable game of football. Lack of a cutting edge ultimately cost us the win but won't get complaints from me if we try and play football.

Let's wait until next season before we start questioning Hughes if things are not going well, after he has assembled his own squad.
The squad he has inherited from Adams is nowhere near good enough, I would have thought you would have got that by now. -
Hughes will also be starting to train adaptions to this style so the team has ways of negating the opposition and again he will assess who can cope with this.
But as he said you don't just change everything overnight as the group was low on confidence after Adams, he knows the current squad has limitations and the time to start to ask questions is when we get to the back end of August. By then we should have a new squad in place, a style of play that is more ingrained and players who can be a bit more flexible to utilise tweaks to the systemBronco, Edinmiarse, Onside and 2 others like this. -

Thought the team in the first half was unbalanced. Too many of the same ball players but nobody to run in behind or drive the ball forwards. Fullbacks need to provide width in an attacking sense when the midfield is narrow as it was today but the game highlighted that Foulds and Hendrie are very much defensive minded. Both need to be upgraded on in the summer.
No surprise that we were much better when Pereira and Vernam came on and we really started to push Newport backwards.
Generally a promising performance, night and day to the shite Adams came up with. -

After watching the games played yesterday on Quest today, it is amazing how many teams, when attacking have three/four men in the box waiting for the cross/shot coming in. We hardly have anyone there.
An example was Jamie Walker who broke into the penalty area, had a good hard low shot parried by their 'keeper - but where was the player(s) following up??
No one there for the tap in - that's criminal, no wonder we can't score.
It took until the 38th minute yesterday before we had a shot on goal. Second half was better but hell, let's have some bodies in the penalty area when attacking.ModernBantam, borderlescott, bantamdave41 and 2 others like this. -

Plenty of effort, some neat and tidy play, just not enough threat
