Our plan from the off seemed to be to launch the ball up the pitch with no particular plan of where it was going to land. Only Aaron Lewis seemed to have any ability to control the ball. Much better after the substitutions. There is so much more physicality in Evans than McNeil. We do need a couple of confident midfield players, although I thought Wildig's short contribution was positive.

Bodes well for the future if we ever return to a team fighting for a top 7 spot.

Definitely. We appear to have established ourselves as a football league club again and secured a generation of lost supporters.

Hopefully a top 7 sort of season will see us push on to 6k+, which is unbelievable given where we've come from.

No Jim.

The club are not millions in debt. The money from the Cup runs has all been spent. No the chairman has not done a runner. The chairman has been asked to stay away from the club pending the outcome of further accusations made against him. I know your post was sarcastic, but frankly two months down the line there will be posters on here who will say I did make those claims.

On substance a 4000+ crowd on a cold March evening, in a dead rubber of a game in League 2, is not bad. With a city the size of Newport it shows what can be done if we only had the confidence to believe in ourselves.

Here we go again, making statements based purely on what disgruntled employees have stated to you...........

Now I have no idea whether the chairman will be found to be innocent or guilty, but for obvious reasons he can't fight allegations made without evidence on a bloody forum, can he.........

For goodness sake you are not in court. This is not a place where a legal representative has to back his client, regardless of what he believes to be the truth. When was the last time we heard a legal representative state, "you have heard the evidence from the prosecution, I have heard from my client and advised that he pleaded guilty. He chose not to, so all I will say is I believe the truth of the matter is that he is as guilty as hell" ......

Stop making one sided statements, or explain how you know they are absolutely true, beyond all reasonable doubt.........

If only we had a striker!

Can't argue with that of course. A goal scorer improves every team.
Think what is equally relevent though, looking at the home and away tables for League 2 is we are the 11th best team away from home and the 20th at home. This clearly points to a psychological deficit for home games. It suggests a need for a decent sports psychologist.

We all know how fickle we County fans are so when things aren't going well I suggest players find it more intimidating when playing at home rather than away.
