Exactly.uton were a former top flight club and we played (and beat) them in the conference, same goes for Blackpool, Pompey, Notts County etc
Exactly.
And ain't that great, eh?
I find it slightly odd when people decide I think Newport should be in awe.
Nuneaton! They stopped off in Nuneaton and missed Bedworth for some strange reason.Exactly.

I find it slightly odd when people decide I think Newport should be in awe. But you said it yourself, amazing escape last season, and you're playing the likes of us rather than the likes of Bedworth.
Exactly. Even the local commentator mentioned it. Much wilder than normal from away fans. As if they had won something more than just the three points and it was a cup success or promotion.
Must do.Corr, you must have had some boring followings at the Ricoh
I think you and others on here need to stop believing that teams coming to a 3/4 empty soulless bowl that you don't own constitutes as a big day out.
You were in the premiership 14 years ago, you haven't been big or relevant for over a decade - we've been to Wembley twice the past few years, winning once. Those are big days out, not a trip up the M6 to play another league 2 side.
You're attitude is precisely why you're in for more 'banana skins' and shocks this year.
they may have blinked :emoji_thinking:Nuneaton! They stopped off in Nuneaton and missed Bedworth for some strange reason.
yep, and sometimes the away fans can be included in thatCorr, you must have had some boring followings at the Ricoh
Sorry dadYou know what. Newport is right. Leave it now.
Sorry dad
Well not on Newport County for sure.No problem. Have you done your homework?
Yeah, it's fine Yeovil are shit we'll win 8-0 because we're bigger than BarcelonaNo problem. Have you done your homework?
That was a bit odd. Its a 1-0 win against us, plenty of teams manage that. Not sure what got them so excited.Your fans and players celebrating on 90 minutes like you'd just won the fa cup suggests otherwise.
Bloody hell, where you been sunshine?Some people genuinely have great difficulty accepting reality; CCFC has been on a gradual, arse-destroying plummet into League 2. This is our lot, however past 'prestige' tends to make us proud and conceited as a fan base, which leads to bitterness after an unexpected defeat.
Look at it this way; Newport fought like rabid pit bulls to retain their league status last season, and their tenacity is what we should be admiring.
Still, let's be pragmatic: playoffs is realistic if the lads can cut the complacency and adapt to the grittier aspects of teams such as Newport.
Incidentally, I caught a few of their matches at home last season: I was impressed with their crowd and the football wasn't that ugly or defensive.

You wouldn't be saying that if you saw some of his last posting history.
Bloody hell, where you been sunshine?
Work and other commitments, plus I hit 100 on the meltdown-o-meter last time I was here, so I gave it a while before returning. These new HRT tablets are great, they keep the hormonal explosions in check nicely. ;-)
To add to my earlier post, I'd like to emphasise how critical Robins is to this team - he won't take the defeat to Newport lightly, and I suspect he warned his players against complacency, which was then semi-ignored. After a few rollockings and changes, I'd expect a different performance next game.
All the best to County, by the way.
note of what? most cov fans would agree
we expected a win, there is nothing wrong with that. we didnt get it because we were crap and you guys were solid. we gave you your props and said you deserved it.
what exactly are you unhappy about?
Yep, don't think it was being disrespectful to Newport, it was just on the back of two wins out of two, two clean sheets and not a single shot on target in both matches from the opposition.
Who's us?this thread doesn't put us in the best of lights really
Who's us?
Just had a quick read through. Can't see much untoward at all here. Which bits don't put us in a good light?this thread doesn't put us in the best of lights really
this thread doesn't put us in the best of lights really
we can expect many more home games like that.

If it wasn't a big day out and its just another 3 points as you alluded to in another post, why are your still here?
You are either revelling in beating us, as you see it as a scalp, or too dim to see that it appears that way.
If it is just three points to you, move on, points are in the bag and f*ck off.
Oh and if it makes you feel better we were shite Saturday, you were better, job done.
