Meanwhile back on the pitch. Another two tough away games coming up, starting with Salford.

It may just be my imagination but we seem to have a lot of successive away games, but not many successive home games. Obviously it has to balance out, but when was the last time we were home on Saturday and Tuesday?

Thank goodness we got a football thread cheers Geoff

Work today so appreciate the updates

A Newport County AFC football thread even!

Looking forward to the game, a nice distraction from off-field matters. Can’t see past a home win though.

Until I hear anything other than rumour, I'm not distracted by off-field matters.

Let's keep this Grandstand going as long as possible to keep it at tha top of the page
Think the port will have to dig deep today

Yes let's try to keep football related County topics at the top of the page.

Repeating what I said in my original post, when was the last time the County played at home in the league on a Saturday then another home league game on the following Tuesday? We've had several "double headers" on away grounds.

A draw would be a decent result today. Does anyone know what’s happened to Liam Shephard? He’s seems to have disappeared from the Salford team.

Tend to agree with you there Norm. Could be a tough one today. A Micky D 90th minute winner would do for me!

Must say I don’t take to Salford at all, nor the behaviour of some of their fans. Would be great to turn them over but tbh not expecting to get anything up there

I await with interest to the starting XI since the end of the January transfer window. The back 3 and now the wing backs appear to pick themselves, but don't believe GC has decided on his most effective combinations in midfield or up front.

Could this be the game where McNeill scores and kicks on.The incentive is there for him today.

Hopefully so. Have to say I've been disappointed to date. Maybe something not in his favour today will be what some have described as the worse pitch in League 2.

Another tough away game today. Will be watching on I-Follow. Really need our attackers to step up today, can't continue to rely on Mickey D. A point or more will make me a happy County Fan!!

And yes. not a big fan of Salford fans. Worked the gate a few years ago as a volunteer. Turned up steaming drunk, abusive and generally unpleasant. Bus Driver was glad to get them off.
