Absolutely. 15 points still to play for its still game on however unlikely the play offs may seem.
I just don't get some posters on here saying they don't think we need a poacher/goal scorer, I would say Ajose would have scored 30+ this season in this team.
He'd be on 15, all since Wellens came.. |

An impressive point keeps Newport down for now, and we're still in the top half.... need more of the same on Saturday.
Sadly Oldham have picked up since Scholes left.
Where have you been all night comrade? Still working on your match prediction? |

Good point but should have been more. We're a Striker short of a very decent side. Bennett was excellent again and Keshi was the best player on the pitch by a country mile. Assuming we've all moved on from expecting him to be a goal-scoring Striker, he's a really big player for us right now and is much more effective under RW.
Still in it, just about, but could do with a win Saturday to really put the pressure on.

best I've seen Anderson play for ages. Couldn't have done much more really.
As PV said, Bennett was good too.
do feel we occasionally overplay when a shots on, but that was an impressive performance in the second half.
deserved more.
I've been proven wrong many time this year, but I think anything but a win Saturday kills it. especially as it would put Oldham above us with a game in hand. Our GD puts us at a points disadvantage.
But what a turn around to be taking of playoffs heading towards Easter

Hard to be critical really. Again a case of so close but still just outside where we want to be. Maybe by game 46 we'll have smashed down that barrier and forced our way finally into the top 7 when it counts.
Massive fan of Wellens and what he's trying to do here. Next season should be good but it'll be a long summer if we miss out on the play offs by a point or two.
Saturday will be tough. Oldham have won 3 on the bounce, however we are more than a match for them and can go there confident of the win we need.

Shame that. Didn't really feel that we would get that winner tonight. The relative solidity under Wellens continues. Maybe a few twists & turns to come yet. And you lot don't have an overnighter in Newport to look forward to.  |

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
Crap!

We had the better chances and should have won. Good turnout of over 700. Still a chance  |

I see the Newport forum is about as well visited as Rodney Parade.

What on earth was Carrol booked for?
Think you'll find Carrol was booked for re-entering the field of play without the refs permission. Left the field then hobbled back on when he realised the substitution hadn't been made and we were down to 10. Should get the refs permission first (you see the ref waiving players back on. Technical and a bit fussy maybe, but correct within the laws of the game unfortunately Law 3 http://www.thefa.com/football-rules-governance/lawsandrules/laws/football-11-11/law-3---the-players |

He comes across really well, inspires respect. I hope we may have found a young manager who is given the time to build something here. |

On paper, that's a very good draw at a tough place to go. Polar opposite of Saturday, which was a horrific result against a poor opponent.
Realistically I think there are 7 teams now shooting for 2 play-off spots. We have 3 away games on the spin and the match with Oldham is crucial if we want to play a part. Our away form is good and so I'm quietly confident we might get something at Boundary Park.
FGR v Exeter on the last game could be huge and could be beneficial for us.
