We’ve lost our last 4 league encounters with Newport.

We may be in luck though because they are currently striker-less. Harlem Globetrotter Kyle Hudlin is injured. Courtney Baker-Richardson will be suspended and they have sent two others out on loan.

They now have ex-Rover Josh Martin.

He's been there since January and made 8 appearances but mainly played from the bench. I'd be surprised if they put him up front but maybe he's their best option with those injuries/suspensions.

this is good news "for us"

https://www.southwalesargus.co.uk/sport/24957215.newport-county-must-find-striker-solution-doncaster/

NELSON Jardim is confident that striker-less Newport County AFC will ‘find a solution’ for the League Two trip to promotion-chasing Doncaster.

Courtney Baker-Richardson is unavailable after a red card

at least we won't give the house-Martin space to have a long distance shot or will we ?

Rovers to win 4-1 at 16/1, just in case they ‘fluke’ that goal!

I can see this being a horrible, attritional 1-0 to us. I’d take that though! A win is a win and we need to win.  :boxing:

I can’t envisage many Newport fans travelling up here today, maybe 250?

No surprise really. I’d prefer to have Anderson in for McGrath based on how they’ve played recently but other than that think it’s what I’d have gone with.

Anderson has been good but maybe dropped I think because that’s a quick front 3 Newport have and they will look to hit us on the counter.

Billy Sharp, what a star signing autographs and pics in front of West, 2 young kids screaming "Billy: in front of South off he jogs and spends time down there, brilliant!

Shortest price of the season for us and the most comfortable win. The Bookies knew.

Unbelievable day of results for us.
Notts can still overtake us but I understand they aren’t playing too well at the moment!

Nah - anyone can say that after the event - it had to be laid until the odds increased at 0-0 to the price I wanted (nearly got it)- I cashed out my losses once the goal went in  . Never mind I backed "my good friends Bradford" at 12/1 when 1-0 down so unbelievable day plus the XXXXXXX  I did

Bromley are a big team - lots 6ft+, but not necessarily fast, so he might have been rested for this game to save all his energy for Tuesday.

I think big Tom is a tad unlucky to lose his place today, that said I thought Mgrath wasn’t at his solid best today !

You’re right. Cheek a massive handful in the air. He was injured last time we faced them.

  I would play Anderson Tuesday.  One stand out is Broadbent who is becoming a very good player with the experience he is gaining playing matches.

Great gesture from Grant today after game.
Charlie was called over by a young family in east stand and he went over to speak to them. All the players were walking away and Grant stood to keep his eye on what charlie was doing.
When Charlie came back onto the field and got to Grant, he told him to go back and give the young kid his shirt.
Top man Grant Mccann!

Hope we don’t get hit with a sanction for playing Bailey while suspended ;)
