It’s going to be tough tonight. We are out of form and I can’t see us getting anything out of this game
I only hope they don’t score in the first five minutes because I don’t want us to give up for the next 85 minutes!
So true Dan…We fear Newport away, i know its tough place with the pitch etc but being a better team you should grind the result, Unfortunatly i cant see us getting anything more than a bollocking off DC and a horrible night! 3-0 Newport
We have never done well at Newport, who can forget our embarrassment in the cup when we visited as a 3rd division squad going there for a run of the mill knock out of a 4th division outfit!
They outplayed us, on the telly an’all! Bad night for Kins I remember, running around like a little boy lost headless chicken
Can’t see beyond a minimum of a by now standard 3-0 defeat.
Clarke coming up with the usual aftermatch guff, having picked a team that could not compete in a Sunday morning league.
Leigh and his team continue to give him the thumbs up to continue the malaise.
Consecutive years in the 80s we won 2-1, 4-2, and 5-1. Also won there in 79-80, 1-0 over the Christmas period, although we won’t mention the return fixture at FP.
Our excellent win there in the Cup in 74-75 has been overshadowed by the subsequent wins over ManUre and Newcastle.
A few draws there in the 80s too, remember Caswell getting a goal that earned us a point.
Decent record at Newport as far as I can remember.
I promise, I won’t be surprised by tactical choices, even when George will play as rush goalie. Would be nice to see one good half and even nicer, when second will be better, but no pressure. Just show you can and that’s all.
I can forget the game quite easily, I was absolutely hammered that day.
Got to Cardiff at 10am, spent some time there before finding some bar in Newport that had Soccer Saturday on, karaoke and cheap booze. Perfection. Last thing I remember is being on karaoke thinking the locals think we’re great.
A fantastic day, even the awful shit football couldn’t ruin that one, one of the best.
