On time?

Well it’s due today and we’re told they have been paid by a reliable source. What do you think Sherlock? I’m going yes.

Damn! Just found 755 for the home game on 6 April 1918 v Bolton (won 2-1) in the "Lancashire Section Subsidiary Tournament". I was convinced that would do it!

I think a lot of our fans were in France for that one.

AL has a black eye. Guess Rhodes didn’t take the news well

And Lang

Everton Hav done amazing to Hav never been religated since the prem began!

Despite the fact they regularly get beaten by us Everton are a massive club. Anybody who remembers the 80s will remember they were one of the “big 5” well before Chelsea and Citeh got involved.

Good spot.

Read it back again, you backed up a fair opinion about our next 5 games (I'm far from certain that we'll do well in them) by using a stat about the last 5 games which is factually incorrect.  Not sure how I've misinterpreted it but fair enough if I have.

 

Surprisingly to some I'd much rather be positive than negative, but I totally respect a negative opinion which is based on logic and reason.  That wasn't one.

Double post!

My statement was in regard to our next 5 fixtures. Positivity based on not reading the post correctly 

I think we all read it correctly. Maybe you wrote it wrong.

Weird league this. Swindon won 3-0 at Yeovil last week who won 6-0 at Newport the week before who beat us the week before that, so lineally that’s progress. We could well have won today without the last minute sending off. Generally I’m happy with progress so far this season.

I've never taken a penalty in my life. Mind you, I was a goalkeeper. Does that mean I have a 100% record? 0/0.

 

But, seriously, your best player isn't always your best penalty taker. Think about Leighton Baines, Maurice Whittle, Joe Jacobson as examples. None were their team's best player but, by Christ, they could take a pen.

All left backs too. Bit harsh on Baines btw he’s won player of the year at Everton twice suggesting he was their best player for a while.

Gravy should only be used on Chips or with things with a brown filling (pudding / steak and kidney pies).

 

Curry sauce on fish or cheese and onion pies is fine.

 

 

About time somebody on here spoke culinary sense. This is bang on.

I am happy to debate this Brexit with  Anyone but not on this thread. This is about todays result.

Mate, for someone who’s been on here for 10 years you show a startling lack of understanding of OWTB meanderings. Barely a thread on here that sticks to its original point.

FWIW the ERG and specifically the clowns who were responsible for Brexit for 2 years and achieved precisely nothing still haven’t got, or won’t publish (for fear of ridicule) anything approaching a credible plan. Now this may be because no plan for Brexit is credible but if they keep spouting trite crap about Leave meaning Leave and taking back control of our money, borders etc. with absolutely nothing to back it up they deserve to reap all they have sown. The trouble is the rest of us have to go back to the 19th Century with them. Mind you it is Rees-Mogg’s spiritual home.

Probably the biggest fixture in the entire history of Newport County. Expecting a good turnout from them. 

Miles bigger that their European Cup Winners Cup quarter final this.

A strange game again. Crawley offered little going forward but could have had 2 goals before half time. They were a cynical team who went down at the merest hint of physical contact and the ref pandered to it..

 

But somehow without creating loads of chances we won, Can Baxter play as with drawn striker? and be effective I felt he was on the periphery of the game a lot.  we huffed and we puffed and we kept going how many times over the years would we have lost that or drawn. 

 

Iverson - could he have done better with the goal? Good pen save and everything else was routine for him

Hunt - a solid game and linked well with Nepo first half

Clarke - usual solid stuff

Edmunson - Did well against there number 9 and good composure for the cross late on - becoming a real player for me

Graham - Isn't an attacking full back will grow into a center half for sure - blowing out of his backside late on - did he give the pen away? Looked a soft decision

 

Branger - some promising moments but we don't get him far enough forward

Missilou - Could have given a pen away in the first minute and one or two other poor tackles but much improved from last week

Gardner - at his frustrating "best" gave the ball away loads after doing the hard work to get away from his man or win the ball back

Nepo - Excellent first half could have had a 2nd goal worked hard, 2nd half didnt get the ball as much

 

Baxter - on the edges of the game when he went in the midfield pulled the strings for a time but the killer pass didnt come off, his class will tell in him it's just where is his best position for the team

O'Grady - Won everything in the air but had no one to read his flicks

 

Sturridge - worked the line and proved a different threat a big asset for his this season i think

Laing - looked a bit light weight but gives us something we dont have much of and his mobility and movement could be good for us to use

Hamer- Did fine when he came 

Hamer will be pleased with that assessment

O'Grady: touch is absolutely rank at times, but he puts himself about well, and is really dilligent at covering when the wingers are out of position. He's also a lot more mobile than I thought. Bunn will love him. 

 

As above, Hamer in for Graham please. He's just not a full back. 

Much improved today O’Grady. I’d still start Surridge and Lang though I think there are goals in those two. Edmundson excellent, if the lad from Villa is as good as they say the #finish15thifwerelucky lads might have to change their tune.

Ridiculous tweet. For me missed out on MOM to Iverson. Work rate excellent, tackles well, doesn’t mind heading the ball.  The fact that you had something to say about him but left out the woeful Gardner second bad game on the bounce. 

It may have been a ridiculous tweet had it actually been a tweet.

I saw us beat Southport 11-0.

 

Slightly before my time that although I did see us play them twice over Easter in April 74 with an aggregate 8-0. Off topic but I note they are bottom of National North with 0 points from 4 games - shame that.

We’re playing well but these lot have got nothing. Can’t believe Whittaker is still around. 

Not only is he still around he’s their best player. Their #14 may be the worst player I’ve ever seen and I saw Starbuck.

Not keen on Ronaldo as a person but struggle to see the comparison.

You struggle to see the comparison between a man who has dedicated his life to being the best footballer he can possibly be, a renowned trainer and one of the finest players the world has ever seen and Ronaldo. Pfft

I just want graphs in it. No plan is complete without graphs.

If that's what you want to take from it.

Just seen a trust tweet stating the accounts have been prepared and filed. This is definitely improved communication and I therefore withdraw my previous comments on this. Sorry!

Except it does. It shows that there are open lines of communication, that the Trust will monitor going forward and improve communications. 

As an example of improving communications repeating what the Chairman said two days earlier isn’t an auspicious start. 

Disappointing that the trust statement released following the recent meeting with AL adds precisely nothing to the debate.
