It's the Rugby on the pitch today that's the problem.
Awful game, awful pitch. I can see why they are average this season overall because they dont create much playing like this. However its effective against a team built like ours.
Just get out of this one without any injuries.

1-0 sounds like a let off at half time. With nothing on the bench, we just have to hope for a lucky break in the 2nd half.
Not really, they aren't creating much. It's just a series of high balls. Zero chance we can use our abilities on this pitch though.

Difficult to watch, no entertainment, one of THE worst pitches I have ever seen, Newport stiffling any football and hoofing it into our half at every opportunity, they are diving and conning the ref.
Its shit, its not our quality its the pitch.
If you said end it now with no new injuries and no more bookings I would probably take it.
Not that we can't beat them, as we can but we have not even tested their keeper yet.
Yates and Isgrove not getting any chance to shine, DJ relies on his close control to beat his man...that surface wont allow that.
Tighten up at th back and hit them on the break is all we can try this half.

We need to change something, but it's hard to see what we can do considering our options (or lack thereof) on the bench.
Here's some half-time ska.

Pretty close guess again in front of 4,795 with 1,037 Swindon fans there.

Apparently Town had 60% possession that half, didn't feel like it, I would say 20% Swindon 10% Newport and 70% the earths atmosphere.

Don’t mind a shit pitch, plenty like this 20-25 years ago.
However it clearly hampers our style so nicking a point would be excellent, a defeat could be written off due to unusual circumstances.

We only have 3 players that this pitch and opposition suites really - Benda, loves to come for a big bomb in the box, Broadbent loves a battle and a header and Grant, who loves to mix it up but is in the book already..
Anything better than surviving with no injuries and suspensions today will be a bonus

Free header in the box from Newport but his connection is poor luckily.
