[Archived] Newport

[G Somerset Rover]

This 5L commentary honestly might as well just have Newport shirts on, embarrassingly biased.

Agreed it is ridiculous. But to be fair they're all over us like a cheap aftershave!

[Dan]

Great goal, Newport well deserved to be level. We always look so laboured. Long ball tactics are never going to work and is just lazy football. We really need a leader on the pitch. I'd have Savage back, would run rings around our current bunch even now.

[Amo]

Spurr & Akpan have been shocking.

[Stuart]

None of them can keep the @#/? ball on the ground.. None want to run at a man and try get past them..none can pass three @#/? yards.. No pace no desire no gameplan.. Nothing

Not convinced about that. I'd suggest too many aren't following the game plan. WTF is our midfield playing so deep?

[OJRovers]

That Lawrence is a waste of time I tell thee

He's got 10 friends in that boat

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Ten men or not we look bloody awful...wtf is going on here!

[Tom]

Poor closing down for the goal still think Akpan is far and away our best central mid which says a lot about this squad

Lawrence is terrible

[K-Hod]

Agreed it is ridiculous. But to be fair they're all over us like a cheap aftershave!

No doubting that, but they might as well be in the home end, leading the chants!

[punerover]

Lambert do something. Make some tactical substitutions. We will get murdered this way.

[AdamRochina]

Akpan is Barley a footballer more a bodybuilder

[G Somerset Rover]

Spurr & Akpan have been shocking.

Conversation for another time and thread but never seen what people have/do in Akpan. Just because he's marginally better than Guthrie and Jason Lowe doesn't mean we should be building our team around him. He's guff.

Nearly 2-1. FFS Lambert do something. Making Newport look like Barcelona!!!

[OJRovers]

What is spurr doing there

[Blue Cabbage]

Jesus @#/? christ should have just sent the academy.

Awful

[AdamRochina]

They hit post.. Oh well least I win money when we lose..

[jim mk2]

Lambert is shaping up to be a very poor appointment. Berg and Appleton were binned after a set of results like he's had.

[pick32]

Does steele know brown got sent off for scratching someone's shin pad? lawrence isnt going to win much root one.

[trueblue]

_{What a stuffing shower of s%%%% this Rovers team is !!!!}

[Jock]

Leave the to55ers after the match. See which ones turn up for training in the morning. Get rid of those that can't turn up tomorrow morning.

[cesus]

I have a horrible feeling we are going to make them look like Brazil and lose by 2.

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Cb brings ball forward and tries to thread a ball through into box. When did we last do that?

[mustard]

Lawrence, Spurr, Akpan. All poor players who I would look to offload asap. Some people don't mind Akpan but he's a poor CM who turns up here and there. Should get rid of the lot of them and start afresh in there. Not had a good CM for a long time.

[Pedro]

Correct. He doesn't make contact til the foot. Some people don't like Brown and are making it fit to their pre determined view of him.

I like Brown, he's a tryer.

Get to the opticians though cos he caught his kneecap, shin and foot.

[BiggusLaddus]

We're being outplayed here. By Newport County.

[donnermeat]

Rhodes for Bennett or Taylor at half time, Lawrence wide midfield.

[Speedie Dived]

Akpan has probably had the worst minute of a footballer I have ever seen.
