Need changes for next game. O'brien, Stokes, Kelly, vincenti and beavon all to be dropped. We have a big squad and if you're not performing you're out.

Yeh but it's Newport fella

Nobody has beat them yet have they? Not saying they are a really good side but not a bad side either.

So much long ball even thoigh we lose every every header. We need to pass it aroind bit more in build up

That said when did ben stevenson become sammy sidewaya? Seemed to hsve no confodence to try any insightful passes bar one to jones nesr end that got cut out.

Im not gonna panic as if no gk howler i can see us winning still or at least a draw. But we do need to take a look at aspects we can i.prove upon.

So many players shit passong in 1 day. Worst i seen since southend last season.

Well that was dog shit. Plenty of poor performances throughout the team with so many misplaced passes. Only McDonald played well, as normal. Grimmer was utterly terrible. O'Brien fucked up an easy save which was the only one he had to make all game. Willis' distribution was abysmal. Vincenti offered nothing. Jones tried hard but he was also guilty of making many misplaced passes. Kelly wasn't great either. We looked more assured when Stevenson came on although he also mispassed the ball several times.

Duck should have come on. Needed some magic.

Jones went bsck to making wrong decisions today. When hes not having much success he needs to pass more. Hes so reluctant all time. Got to byline in last min and didnt cross. Frustrating

We failed our first real test. We conceded and couldn't come back from it.
At least people will now stop going on about us never conceding.
Back to reality.

Not as easy as you thought it would be boys was it?
Not many really thought it would be easy, poor goal to lose by. You deserved the win for 70 minutes then think we came into it and a draw would have been fair.

Fairness didn't get an equaliser though!

We need to learn from it, there was no fight today and everything was too lazy

Can't say I disagree with his sentiments.

Accept it....he has a point. Just look at our history in the last 10 seasons. Hasn't exactly been a blast for us fans.

I understand it only 3 games into the season but does look like the same pattern seem to be creeping in again.

Unfortunately we didn't other than a couple of efforts. We will need to be more adventurous at home.
Pleased that Stevenson looked a lot better than he did against Blackburn and that Andreu looked tidy. Going to need people comfortable on the ball to break down teams like that at home. That starting XI today is a decent line up for counter attacking away game but not for breaking down teams that come for a draw. There was a lot of poor performances on the pitch but Robins got it wrong for me today as much as the players. Should have made the Andreu change at half time too, was always going to be twice as hard to break them down after we'd conceded. Then shifting Andreu out left and making Biamou a target man was also wrong.

I don't think a lot of us thought it would be and we didn't really threaten until it was too late.

Fair enough. You'll find nothing will be easy in this dogfight of a league. Anyway good luck for the rest of the season.

Ian from Shipston, passing was abysmal.
Linnel it's been like that all three games, is that true?
Andy Marshall the tempo was wrong. trying to pick impossible /dangerous passes, should have carried the ball into space.

Some of us didn't expect it to be easy. Newport came and did a job they deserved the win.

I don't think they deserved a win. They scored a freak goal and did nothing else. As a footballing team they weren't very good at all.

We needed to be far more adventurous in the first half. If we score first we will win most games as the opposition will get stretched and Jones can use his pace to better effect.

The worry I have is the forwards look not up to scratch. McNulty and Beavon look poor. The sub biamou looks out of his league.

you might want to look at the start of this thread

i think we will run out comfortable winners
2 clear goals me thinks


Comfortable win 4-0. No idea if they're any good and it's too early in the season to tell from league position. Vinny and Kelly are both due a goal and a double from Andreu.

I think we may see Andreu start this game ahead of Bevon, no reason just think we may.
I think we will win this comfortably 2/3 nil

We'll be too much for them attacking wise though. 3-1 with goals from McNulty, The Duck and Andreu.

Just had a nifty on us @10/11 just like buying money,Very comfortable win!!

4-0. Another clean sheet and things really starting to fire. Optimism and excitement for the season to go through the Arena 2000 sliding roof.

4-0 city. Jones to get a Brace, Doyle hammers one in from a loose ball in the box and McDonald header from a corner.

That's just page 1 !!
