Newport v Swindon matchday thread

[Outletred]

Fact is we just cannot deal with the shithousery at this level.

Obvious from kick off they were rolling around the floor looking for fouls- RHM was silly as uou just can’t retaliate in those situations - but it was obvious their player did something deliberately and only got away with a yellow.

In league 2 you have to be able to deal with the dark arts of the game

"Two, maybe three pens"....really? Is that right? I didn't watch the game...Whenever Lyndsey or Garner came out with that, I took it with a very large pinch of salt...

One of the most irritating traits that egghead Garner had was complaining about how many penalties we had. Must be a premier league academy thing.

Once again the poster on this forum that gets it spot on.
Iandolo a passenger.
FBT motm easy call.

Absolutely livid tonight Hepburn Murphy.
Brain dead twat. Newport were shite, we lost.

🫡🫡. careful mate don’t be too nice they might change your bio and stalk your account 😂
Think we’ve missed out not selling him, like to think the replacement would have been a significant upgrade on him. Hepburn Murphy doing well to undo all his hard work/good form from the last few weeks with the way he finished last week and his clown antics today. Newport absolute fodder, results like these remind me of the Colchester/Stevenage/Rochdale results last season - ended up being very costly.

Stayed in Newport after the game for a few beers with my Newport Mate.
Eased the pain, the Welsh egg chasing girls in the pub at least raised a smile.
If only I wasn’t an old Man 😂⚽️🍺

Hepburn Murphy cost us 2 points last Saturday.

Cost us the chance of getting anything today. Fucking headless from him. Brainless thinking. Made of glass and now he’s out of 3 games. Only way someone like him finds form is a run of games- blown it for himself

Iandolo rotten. Yes He crossed it in for a consolation goal. But he had a Stinker at left back. Shame we didn’t pull our finger out in the window and sign a centre half so FBT could play left back. Get what you deserve sometimes aye.

FBT or Kadji MOM, nobody else. Austin helpless and ineffective if we can’t get to him in the box, also hard when he was the only voice on pitch today. Thought Brennan was shakey and Hutton far from his best.

Not a great start is it, but it’s fuck all to do with Morris. Have to put it right Saturday.

Stupid to let MacDonald go without a replacement.

Stupid to let MacDonald go without a replacement.

Bizarre. I didn’t think much of MacDonald at all, had some real poor games for us I thought and wasn’t a great captain. But he could head it, clear it, played 20 odd games and was experienced. I thought we needed a centre half before he left, think most did. It cost us today.

[Wobbly Bob]

Other than RHM, I don't think that any individuals particularly stood out enough to warrant being singled out of criticism after that display.
As a group failing, yes of course.

MacDonald was limited on the ball but first and foremost could defend.
We have no other defender like that in the squad and I’d even argue it’s the type of player we missed last season.

I guess in theory FBT was the MacDonald replacement at CB and Tomlinson was the FBT replacement at LB - which only works when all are fit.

We had a replacement but the deal fell through due to some paperwork balls-up.

45 seconds evidently.
The lad was training with us.

Just got in from work. In a nutshell how Good/bad was it?

RHM sent off after 15
contained them first half
they were better in second

we didn't look like scoring, even though we did!

summary: can't really tell anything from that

If he’d been training with us then why the fuck did they leave it to the last minute? Ridiculous.

This. Thought we looked sharp within first 15 and we’d have beaten them 11 v 11
