Newport thread

Assume McKeown is injured. No idea what the formation is?

No Macca and 3 - 5 - 2 is back on the menu. Who is playing right wing back if thats the case?

McKeown ill according to RH. 352 with Cook or Whitehouse at right wing back?!

I presumed it was 4-3-3 with Waterfall RB.

Macca out due to illness.

I know nothing.

Surely Jolley would pick Hendrie if available then Hewitt as a next best option?

Lets hope Newport do not use their left wing much...

Interesting, very interesting

I hope for Jolleys sake it works!.

Is he taking the F A cup seriously?

If we don't perform today I can see the natives getting restless.

Matt playing for them, Amond on the bench

very worrying lineup, assume Hewitt ill as well or Jolly has lost the plot, tempted to revise my prediction to a big loss, BUT
you never know what will happen on the day

Quoted from devs

Has anyone told the team?

The games excrement and so is the ref 0-0 this

Another fukin idiot of a ref, being completely played by the Newport players, but Town are looking shockingly poor.

Get in 1-0 Town.

yesssss!

Who do we fancy in the Europa League group stages?

Great time to score.

Half time appraisal from anyone there?

Winning. Absolutely excrement game, both teams equally poor, no pace, formation just odd. And its cold

It sounds terrible, just constant hoofs up and no football being played at all. Has Cook touched the ball yet? Can't remember his name being mentioned.

So aside from winning......a bit sh** all round.

Newport did lose at home to Salford last home game. That is their current performance level.   They were very poor it seems.  No surprise then that 2 poor teams, today with one team trying to be less-dire than the other!   We are currently winning that battle!

We have 5 in mid field but no midfield influence or creativity.

Just heard the squad rundown on the radio. We have Robson Green playing! Newport manager is Flynn: would that be Jerome?

Attendance?????

You just know that Paddy is gonna come on and break our hearts

Quoted from smokey111

Attendance?????

2086 (59) I think he said

Sounds like they're a right bunch of cheating coonts. And stupidly wasting their own time.

Newport are the biggest cheats I have seen here for a long time, rolling around over a nothing challenge.

Paddy Almond on for them

Quoted from promotion plaice

FFS someone says that every week!

BBC Radio Wales getting quite excited about it, making it sound a lively game...

The lad in goal for them played (and did some nice flapping) for Braintree against us in the playoffs

felicitations sake

Quoted from Abdul19

Quoted from WHYWONTYOULETMESIGNUP

Don’t worry, plenty of time to lose this yet.

Let them score another ffs

I knew it, hush my mouth,lol

Quoted from 140381

For all our joking, I’d say that none of us actually want that? I know I dont.

Cardwell on, game in the bag

Quoted from Heisenberg

For all our joking, I’d say that none of us actually want that? I know I dont.

Winning today would have been nice. I couldn’t give a intercourse about going to a replay we’ll lose in Newport when we’ve a load of league games to play.

Whilst the ref is flipping excrement, they are a bunch of cheating twits I didn't think it was a penalty, we don't really deserve much out of this game because we have been really poor.

Ref woeful and clueless. Newport cheats. Town shite. Jolley out

Quoted from Hagrid

Ref woeful and clueless. Newport cheats. Town shite. Jolley out

This!!

Is Sam Russel a good keeper? (anyone, please), I had the shock of my life when I saw that Macca was not playing.

Yet another dog performance with no visible evidence of any method whatsoever.

It sounded terrible did their keeper have a save to make other than the goal? Played like we were away from home by the sounds of. Jolly said pre match we need to score first then we can hit them on the break, how do you hit someone on the break if you spend the last 45 mins with all your players lined up around your own penalty area  

Even Boston United managed to score 4 times away in the FAC.  Thanoj scored twice (remember him?).

We certainly didn't deserve to win it today, the big lump it up to Hanson isn't working anymore.

It is a steaming pile of non tactics turd. Any idiot can manage a team and instruct them to just lump it.
Is there any point in having a manager if we are just going to aimlessly crash it forward? Might as well swap Jolley for a chest of drawers.

Quoted from promotion plaice

Yet Jolley doesn’t see it? A big worry for us all. His time is up for me. I know today was a cup game, but nonetheless, we’re in ANOTHER relegation dogfight. If you have enough of them, you go down eventually - we know that better than anyone.

This is the first game I’ve thought Jolley out
Always wanted to give him time to get his ideas over and try to get a good side together but today I just thought ‘Mr Jolley you know intercourse all’

Quoted from chaos33

This

Despite being a season ticket holder and a lifetime fan I could not drag myself there today.

It is just so uninspiring, boring predictable with zero excitement.

My You Tube feed brings up games from the non league days, and I am often shocked at how much better it was to watch than this turgid stuff. We hardly get into the opposition half, have no shots on goal, never make the keeper work, and if we get a lead just try to  hang on.

The team selection was baffling - once you go down the route of "squad rotation" you never know where to stop; two weeks without a game and apparently zero tactics employed despite having all that time to work on some.

We will never get anywhere with this Board,  but at least they could get a manager with a sense of purpose who wants to win above everything else. I have enjoyed a grand total of three home games this season - Bradford, Port Vale and the Macc replay. The rest have been boring.

Change the manager now before we are dragged further into the mire in the league.

Really?! Two games in hand. Two draws and we're 14th (which our season's average should at least do). Win both we're tenth. Worst case scenario we're 18th.

Sad thing is I think we have some very good players at this level
Defence is OK - not much I'd change there with what we have
But creativity, passing, cleverness, guile... there's nothing
Square pegs in round holes
Too much tinkering - but enough said on that over the weeks
Formation not suiting several players
A brave manager would look at first 15 or so games and think when everyone fit I'm playing the front six who won at Exeter
It would force us to pass and not lump it
After 20/25 mins today Buckley was saying what he says every match and what almost every fan says week in and week out
No flow
No chances
No craft
Inability to string three passes together
Disjointed

We are neither an effective long ball team or a good passing team
Lump it to Hanson and see what happens
At the minute pretty much feck all!

Ogbu must be feeling very unlucky not to get in the team - but when he does he's played out of position
Sort of sums everything up

I get what you’re saying, and I hope I’m wrong, but I believe we’re in the sh#t, yes.

I think we have the players to finish top half, but the manager to take them down.

Quoted from Heisenberg

To be fair, he did get the first player to be subbed correct. The only problem being that he signed him in the first place.

Devs, you are sitting on the fence with the above comments.  😏. Just say what you really think.

Btw, responding to another comment:  a chest of drawers is very useful.

Well you’ve been to more games than me so you’re in a better position to judge the team. But I think it’s a bit early to be worrying.

Before we played Chelsea,we were tearing teams apart, and scoring freely, hence me putting a bet on for promotion. Since then, we haven't got a clue. The Camp is in disarray, we just don't want to play for each other. In home games where we should be on the front foot and attacking, we sit back and defend, and whacking the ball from defence to Hanson, sometimes a lone figure. What the hell has happened to our game plan. These players were playing their socks off a couple months ago, now there is no belief. Maybe swapping and changing doesn't help, but they are the same players who know each other. Theres no wide play in force, the midfield are lethargic, no support for Hanson, it seems the belief in winning has gone. Maybe some of you are right, and time for a change in management, for someone more professional, and a bit nastier. Its not good for the eyes nowadays, and the expectancy of a win is diminishing before the game even starts. The Blundell Park fortress is missing a brick day by day, and I don't see any repairs to it. Come on Mr.Jolley, bring back the belief and tactics you played a few months ago, stop swapping ideas and keep to the winning one, one job, you only have one job, to win. Its going to be an uphill fight now, games are mounting up, every game and point counts. Show us supporters a reason to turn up and get value for our money. UTM.

If the rumour that Jolley applied for the Gimps job is true, then that might explain possible lack of unity in the camp. Whatever, he’s done nothing yet.

Where did this excrement come from? More rubbish from people "in the know"

I can’t believe for a moment that he would have applied.  
Looking at where they are and the money they would have got for the Cowleys.
What has MJ done here to think he would stand a chance.
I think that just has to be a rumour.

The state of the post he made tells me everything.
Sounds like he was a very angry man today.


"##Disckaimer##...this is second hand information##..
Got told today Jolley applied for the Lincoln job and wasn't successful and seems to coincide with our dip in performance and results...so don't shoot the messenger, it could be boll0x..I don't know...
Anyway, again I fall out with a fellow supporter, while I'm berating the sh!the I witnessed today I was told "if you don't like it, f@ck off home"..well, many more performances like that and believe, my season ticket will be under the dodgy leg of the dining table and I'll be on the golf course on a Saturday until Jolley is gone.."

Quoted from TheRonRaffertyFanClub

Have you got a date in mind?

No. I’m a happily married man.

Diabolical weather-diabolical Management-diabolical tactics-diabolical players-2 diabolical teams - diabolical referee-diabolical linesman-diabolical future.  P.S.-any chance that we'll be able to watch the replay on ifollow

Let’s not beat about the bush, that was absolutely dire. One paced, flat footed, lack of any forward movement and so much hoofing my neck hurts.

Plan A failed after about six matches. Quite why Jolley cannot see that booting it to Hanson when he is isolated with no one around him isn’t working is anyone’s guess.  We are so poor tactically the goal conceded was inevitable. We give teams far too much respect and time and we are so flat in formation teams can get into pockets and dictate games. Jordan Cook was essentially a right wing back today he was so deep. Where were the forward runners? Did anyone get beyond Hanson once today? Why did we defend so seep aedond half? Why on earth was he bringing Davis on when we needed to get up the pitch to relieve pressure?!

There’s very little difference between today and the last few weeks of the Russell Slade era. I desperately wanted Jolley to be a success but he’s not learning from any of his mistakes and I don’t have any confidence that he’s learning anything about his team given the same turgid performances.

Dear God, please help me, I support Grimsby Town.

I liked jolley, but he has to turn this around now and sharpish. The crowd was well below my expectations - the fayre is so dull it's putting lots of people off. Jolley has a few weeks to change course or else I feel fentys hand may be forced anyway, and better to do it before the transfer window if getting rid.

He has to start learning lessons, pick a style and formation- I doubt he will...

Not that I’m a fan but seeing Seb Ring in the stand and Starbuck on the bench? Cardwell playing for Town whilst Vernam is playing for Chorley? Really? What is happening?

I’d be amazed if Seb doesn’t have a move lined up for Jan. his other half is expecting and he has 6 months left on his contract.

Still should be used while he’s on the payroll. I think I’m better than Cardwell and I can give home 30 odd years, two knackered knees and 40 years of sciatica.

You're having a laff or smoking something dodgy.

I suggest you take a look at the results in September, one  win against Macclesfield the rest was crap.

Cardwell won more headers in 5 mins today than Hanson in 90! And would you have Ring in over Gibson or Hendrie? I wouldn’t.

I think Cardwell is amongst the worst forward players I have seen in a Town shirt and I have been going for 60 years.

What the hell Jolley was thinking in extending his contract God only knows. Even after all this time the best he can get is a few minutes at the end of the occasional match as a last throw of the dice.

Cardwell joins a list of non striking strikers that goes back to the likes of Steve Saunders and Bungle Jeffrey and includes many other notables in between.

Its flipping outrageous. If i was ring id be telling Jolley to stuff it, Wright injured so we send a winger out on loan. And bring on a man with 1 league goal in 3 years. Bring on clifton whos been dire this season, gone backwards. Fed up of it all, makes no sense to me or any others. We’re rubbish absolute rubbish.

Stuff I don’t get ......Pollock does well at CB earlier in the year and gets dropped but today we need a RB and he gets thrown in ahead of Davis who in the past has proven he’s competent in that role.

We then effectively play Cooke in the right wing position when he’s an attacking mid or one of a front two.

Charlie is sent out on loan and cup tied?? But Cardwell who needs game time is left at home for the odd injury time cameo.

I’m not sure Ring is near good enough but unless he gets some involvement we‘lol never know.

Robson despite scoring a couple of good goals since he’s been here unlike Embleton seems to hide from the ball rather than being hungry for it, surely H Clifton despite a mixed season to date is worth investing in?

So many things feel @rse about face at the moment it’s getting worrying
