Was debating getting the game on ifollow today but Long & Faulkner on the bench with Williams the only recognised CB on the pitch has persuaded me to save my tenner and watch Portugal-Morocco.

[albie]

County are a long ball team, who load the box from dead balls and long throws.

Not sure that team we have gone for is set up for that.
Dominant centre backs needed for the aerial threat.

By the time they realise and are two down Faulkner will be sent on.

[goalkick]

Looking on our line up today Allie can say is.  Oh dear.  Hope I am wrong.

[bobbymax]

No Anderson or Oluwu. What the hell is going on?

[Prez]

Cannot understand this line up at all. Fearing the worst.

[Bessie Red]

Team should have been
Mitchell
Long CB
Williams CB
Faulkener CB
Knoyle RWB
Maxwell LWB
Biggings MID
Close MID
Rowe MID
Clayton MID
Miller ST

[Filo]

I’m beginning to think that Schofield thinks he is better than he actually is at this coaching game, that side lacks the fundamentals to be a winning side 

[Thorney]

Seaman before Hurst?

[Barmby Rover]

Team should have been
Mitchell
Long CB
Williams CB
Faulkener CB
Knoyle RWB
Maxwell LWB
Biggings MID
Close MID
Rowe MID
Clayton MID
Miller ST

Whenever Clayton is in the team we are too slow on the uptake.

[RugbyRover]

I can only think that our best players are suffering with a virus.

Could be an interesting game 

I've paid my tenner. Lets see if I can be bothered to watch the 2nd half. 

[Spud]

Not very inspiring that line up is it? Let's hope DS is right & we're all wrong....

I suspect Knoyle and Rowe will be playing centre half alongside Williams (would be naive to expect DS is changing system)

So that's our 2 most potent attacking threats playing centre half. Neither particularly tall up against a long ball team and Omar Bogle. With 2 tall competent centre halves on the bench.

Beginning to think our new manager is somewhat lacking in tactical awareness or even just plain common sense.

It did say on the DFP site that there was a sickness bug at the club earlier this week.

You know that when bogle saw that lineup his eyes lit up, he will be feeling a chance for a couple of goals here

i follow can't be bothered to say anything in advance of the game again, Newport have various things going on. Rovers, can't be bothered.

[ScillyRover]

Anderson is ill according to Robbie on Comms.But Seaman ???

[glosterred]

10 | Some really nice play from Rovers to carry and keep the ball deep in Newport territory. Ben Close lays off for Adam Clayton who blasts over the bar from the edge of the box 

0-0

12 | Big block from Newport's Priestley Farquharson as Charlie Seaman squared for George Miller in the box. Superb through ball from Adam Clayton to Seaman to start the move 

0-0


COYR

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Sounds like a reasonable start from Rovers. Couple of chances created.

[glosterred]

17 | Bit of pressure from Newport. The ball goes out to Aaron Lewis on the left but he finds the sidenetting

0-0

COYR

[DearneValleyRover]

I can see what Schofield is trying to do, I just don’t think we have the players to execute it

[glosterred]

21 | Good strength from Ben Close across the face of the box before he squares to Charlie Seaman who fired wide from 20 yards 

0-0

COYR

[Spud]

Good strength & Ben Close in the same sentence? Wowzers.

[glosterred]

29 | Close for the hosts. A long throw into the box is flicked on by Cameron Norman and Will Evans turns a header over the bar from two yards out 

0-0

34 | So, so close. A beautiful ball through from Ben Close sends Max Woltman into the box. His trickery works space and he lashes the ball towards the far post where a sliding Harrison Biggins just fails to make contact 

0-0

Close is an excellent and intelligent footballer, he would have thrived in SODs team.
He is playing some really good football today.

[glosterred]

38 | Harrison Biggins smashes the ball on the bounce and draws the first save of the game from Newport keeper Joe Day. Real power on the strike

0-0
