Newport County V City (Saturday 22/2/2020)

He's injured to the point where playing a game of football would aggravate it, he's not a wheelchair ffs.

Big deal he went to a bar and watched a football game with his teammate instead of laying in the bath crying

 

He can do what he likes but I think broadcasting it for all to see after we've lost is a bit shitty. If we have to accept players on social media is a part of the modern game, they should understand they're in the public eye and think about what they post accordingly.

 

Weather is looking ok ish isn’t it ?

 

No need for it though and should of just given him a contract until the end of the season

I don't believe he's injured.

Think he was dropped last week because he was sh@te against Stevenage. McCall knows he's sh&te but wants to take him out of the firing line and doesn't have to use him now.

 

@wetherbywhaler hows it looking from the holiday inn ? need this on tomorrow for 91/92 grounds

 

R'kidd who's a Bradford fan has the potters public house in Newport . He will be putting free food and a free couple of beers for fellow City fans tomorrow, the pub is on Upper Dock St, should be a good do. Hope to see the ones travelling down in there.

 

Sorry to be late/early but was not looking at my phone last night. It was dry and breezy most of the way down and all evening until I went to bed around 11.30. Dark still so can't tell but looks dry which is the forecast. My mate Simon Hartley was talking to an avid County fan last night, they have 7 out injured including one who did his ACL in training yesterday according to the fan. This guy has backed us at 3-0 apparently, hope he's right.

 

Just after 7.00 and light. Grey sky and still very breezy. Unless it's changed the forecast was showers dying out by 12.00 then just cloudy.
Slow going at M5 end of M42 and single lane on M50 added 45 mins to my sat nav time but Saurday may be quieter. Have a safe journey and watch for camera vans after Monmouth if you come that way.

 

Enjoy your day Wetherby hope its three points for us we need to get on a winning run. Not much on back home beginning to wish I had travelled down.

 

Thanks RO on way now and due for 11 . Have a good day and let’s bring home the 3 points

 

They have something like the second best defence in the league and are the second worst at scoring.

Our away form is abysmal.

If there's more than one goal it will be a miracle!

 

We've a new manager and with a full week training and having the squad for about 3 weeks now I expect an improvement.

Last week McCall got certain things wrong but AOC needs to stop playing football like a 4 year old and keep his line, stop chasing the ball and players like Harry need stop being so weak on the ball.

If Devitt isn't in the squad today then I would be lost for words. I will think it's a personal thing between player and manager.

Players like McCartan(yes I am not a fan of his and he's a massive waste of money) and Devitt are key against teams like this.

Hope Cooke is back because he's vital.

I was going to mention Harry being key but recently he's just showing he's non league! Bowyer's mate and been awful.

Anyway, need to win this, no excuses!!

 

5-4 it is then

 

I remember Tranmere away some years ago. After about half an hour it was 0-0 and the co-commentator, can't remember who it was, said something like 'defences are well on top, can't see many goals in this'. Final score Tranmere 4 City 5.

 

Weather report from my family who are there. It is improving towards kick off.

 

Two sides that struggle to score. One of them has a good defensive record and the other is always susceptible to conceding soft goals.

This has a 1-0 home win written all over it.

 

It's basically barbecue weather!

 

This may be the game we get a win. It has to happen sometime
and we need to secure a place in the play off's.

 

A scrappy low quality 1-1 draw is my forecast.

 

We're that sh!te , I'll take that
