Go on then.... I'm an avid follower of the Lucky Pint but never started a thread. Time to get started!
Here's hoping for a better performance than last year. Both teams significantly changed ... but not a difficult prediction, Rovers win...... 0-3.
-
Ditto BVB, 0-3 for me too, there is far too much petrol in the tank for Newport to keep up with us.
-
Keeping my fingers crossed that Rovers+ provides better coverage today. Should be a good game. Not sure it will be the walkover that some are predicting but I’ll go for a 1-0 win to Rovers. Come on Donny!
-
The link that was mentioned on the Salford thread has a livestream highlighted for 3pm, it worked a treat on a Tuesday.. fingers crossed..
-
Todays team - two changes
COYR
-
No hursty?
-
Was in the DFP yesterday, picked up a slight injury in the warm down at Salford..
-
Really strong midfield potentially that. Let’s hope they get it together. That’s hopefully where the game will be won.

I looked for totalsporteck just now for a link to our game but the pages I looked through didn’t show our game.
Do you have any further info Adam.
-
Do you need a vpn to use that totalsportek link?
-
The link I had is sadly not working, I wonder if it's cos of the 3pm satdi blackout? But midweek games are ok.. bugger...
-
Shows the competition for places is very stiff when McGrath, Nixon and Westbrooke don't even make the squad.
Most difficult game yet. We'll have to be on it to win it. Expecting a very tight game.
-
It looks like game is on Firestick, so I’ve been told
-
Anyone having problems with Rovers+? I can’t get past the verify email bit.

I had that problem when I tried to register on the new site. Didn't get an email so had to contact the club

Got it now after repeated refreshing!

Any updates on the game,?

Wood cleared one offline
Bailey booked after 5min
Rovers just created a good chance

All the links for the game on there are showing baseball or other soccer matches.
-
Newport are a much sterner test, they look sharp, we need to match them or it could be trouble.
-

Same for me.

Chesterfield looking good 3 up after 12 minutes could be up there this season

That’s a small playing surface

Liam Hoden much improved as a commentator

Clifton great shot after good run by Senior..saved by keeper

I wouldn’t know, I’ve tried to click listen live on rovers plus but nothing happens.

Where did that info come from besty?
-
Rovers playing well had a few chances
-
The away kit looks good. Rovers look decent. The movement is good.
-
Me I'm watching it
-
Finally the commentary is working on this one. Rovers are on top.
-
On totalsportek.io , prem games play with commentary, championship, L1 and L2 don't?
-
Clifton header - could have done better. Midfield getting stuck in.
-
Kwama - Newport looks a good player and causing Sterry some difficulty
-
Three decent chances for Rovers, Sterry the weakness for us.
-
Clifton is a surprise package to me, he looks good, always in the right area to shoot/ head.
-
Working now with sound but no comms.
-
Must be hard listening to the audio only commentary because Hoden hardly intonates his voice, but there is alot going on.
-
Me I'm watching it
At the game?
-
0-1!!!!!!
-
Get innnn
-
Goall..
-
Yes … Bailey
-
Do you mean 0-1 as the away team winning, or we are one down.??
-
Got it.!!
-
Cracker from Bailey.
-
Yessssss Bails with a cracker
-
Absolute belter by bails..
-
Surprised it took so long
-

It doesn’t seem right that people say we are winning 0-1 does it.
-
30 | You won't catch them much sweeter than that!
Great work down the left from Jordan Gibson to cross towards the back stick and it's headed out to Owen Bailey who rifles the ball into the back of the net!
GET IN THERE!

Bailey’s strike

Gibson has been a big threat this half.

Gibson and Ironside quite quiet, Jack Senior attacking more down the right more than Gibson.

On that Twitter clip the ball was parried out by the keeper.
Good strike into the net though.
-

haha.
How we see the game differently, eh? But I'm sure I've just seen Gibson first win a free kick in dangerous area, then set up a goal, and then nearly get slided in a few minutes later.
-
Great save

Who from, IR?

Another great chance for them...we living dangerously at the moment

I used to be a critic, but I think he does a good job now.

Welcome back Colin ;)

Kamwa as someone mentioned earlier is a decent player, causing issues and should have scored.

I’m watching it via IPTV.
-

every successful side has an element of luck about them..
-
We've been the better, attacking, side but they've indeed had a few chances right in front of our goal - a few down to scrappy defending. Anderson has done well to cover the others.
-
Great save
Saved Richard Wood massively there. That header was shocking

Both have been mentioned plenty of times.
Ironside’s stats show he’s doing a good job but not had a real chance yet. Sounds a tight game tbh.
-
Great save
Who from, IR?
Obviously Rovers' keeper.
It wouldhave been lucky bas**rd at the other end!
-
How the hell did Wildig not get a Yellow for his " tackle " on Moly ?
It was premeditated , late , from behind and IMHO a Yellow Card on any ground at any time with any Ref except it seems this one.

Ironside hasn't had much influence and few touches so far.

100 per cent yellow. And Bailey booked for a much lesser offence. No consistency. Not surprising really is it?

Its isnt not having faith. Its responses to conceding straight after the break again.
Should we say "yes thats ok, we dont mind conceding"
Grant will be fuming for that.

Who switched off this time?
-
Unlike last season we have the option of throwing on Billy Sharp for a goal.
-
Newport are running like men possessed, not sure they will keep that up all game.

Woking player sent off on 13 minutes.
Match suspended a minute later.
According to bbc sport website.

Ref made Nixon go back 5 yards as he time wasted from a throw
1 minute later they got a free kick level with where that throw had been and they took it 8 yards in front of the offence and Ref did nothing

Get Billy on NOW Grant

Not the easy win some people were predicting then.

Come on you Reds!

Well. Massive test now. The doomsayers will be out on force on here tonight.
Come on Rovers.
-
Some of the defending is diabolical
-
4 changes, if we can get this back to a draw it will be a great result. Not confident.
-

It has been crackers how over confident some have been.

Game and unbeaten run over.
-
Going forward we look good thou
-
We’ve been a yard behind them all game to be fair, partly due to their play, but more so due to the way we are playing - it’s not clicking correctly.
-
Does Gibson offer that in-behind threat Haks did?
-
oh ye of little faith
my 50 squid @1.84 is in the bin then ?
-
Rovers+ stream has been buffering a lot today. Annoying.
-
I said in pre-season that our defence still has the same old problems.
It certainly doesn't look a title winning defence.

Where do you think the weaknesses are at the back?
-
Very dissapointing response from Rovers, I must say. Offering nothing - game is petering out.
-
Rovers still have more shots on goal than Newport, they have made theirs count.

Down to 8th! :crying:

How's the keeper been?

Who switched off this time?
Moly got tackled and they broke away and scored,I thought fouled but cannot be sure without seeing replays/better angle and it was right under ref's nose so maybe it was'nt a foul,that may have been harsh on us,as for the other 2 goals,we was barely coping in midfield defensively and when he took Broadbent off and put Sbarra on,that gave Newport the ability to find more space pushing forward,they are a strong side,able to hold the ball well in tackles.
-

I don't know about personnel, but we're still not cutting crosses out, or defending headers.
I suppose if Louis had been playing, he'd have got the blame today. However, I don't know what TSL was like with the 3 goals.
-
How's the keeper been?
He’s let 3 in.
To be fair. He had no chance with the first two.

Agree. Broadbent was playing fine. Should have stayed on.

What is it with us and Newport? Do they sing the stirring Welsh anthem before the game and scare the shit out of our players?

What the f has happened since the interval? Sour lemons instead of the normal orange slice?

5 shots on target, 3 have gone in.

Could we have too many options?
-
Ah well.
I reckon this loss will do us good if they learn from it.
-
Well… the second half was an education. Grant will be fuming.
-
We were ahead in all the stats, apart from the most important one.!
Shows we are competing and creating chances, but with work to do to find that consistency we need.
Next..
-
Well beaten. Some poor defending and we never really threatened in the second half.Newport deserved the win, pressed well and some good finishing. We need to earn the right to challenge in this league. Sobering thought for the players. Roll on the next game and 3 points !
-
Positive for me is flemming is a upgrade of senior
-
Fleming not Flemming.
-
I liked Fleming he kept pushing forward with intent.
Story had a torrid time with their player Kwamba today he was tricky and quick.
