they've drawn 3 in the last 5 and though I'd obviously love a win I'd settle for a draw.

Considering they're our worst nightmare in terms of how they're set up and the physicality of their players I'd have to admit, I'd take a draw now if it was offered.

I feel that we can win this. They're well on the way to being on the beach, whilst we're an unstoppable steam train.

If we don't get the victory then I will go on a Clint style rampage. No fucker in Newport will be spared!

It's raining pretty heavily down here already and not predicted to stop for long before kick off, the pitch often has trouble so expect it to be really heavy on Friday. Lots of long balls as it will be difficult to play on the deck.

Biggest game of the season.

Every game from now on will just get bigger and take on more significance.

burge drove past me this morning, i gave him thumbs up, he gave it back

add this to meeting him in barber shop and him nearly runnign me over outide ricoh after forest green game and i have never had such a close relationship with a player

for me he has overtaken oggy in legend status now and we will beat newport!!!!!!

I'm glad I can take the moral high ground on this one.

I pay the club directly for my pirating.

Go round his house and ask if he wants to go for a beer?

and get him so drunk that he wakes up late and misses the coach lol

I've just been looking at the current league standings and who is playing who/where. This looks like a massive days footy all round with Mansfield at home to Acc.Stanley, Notts County at home to Wycombe, Luton are away at Colchester, Exeter away to Lincoln and us away to Newport. That means 10 out of the top 12 teams will be playing each other. Sounds like a heck of a day to me! Gonna be some big changes to league positions come tea-time on Friday!

cant comment on follow but i hear its great......

Nick said:

You are right though!

In fairness, I couldn't be without iFollow nowadays. For the sake of £110 to watch any game I can't physically make it to is a bonus, probably could scrat about for free streams etc but it has been better than I thought it would be in it's 1st season.

Yeah it’s decent. Although a scorebar and replays for next season would be good

You should be able to link it up with CWR commentary.

Thankfully, my ‘3 or 4-0 win’ v Grimsby was correct (after god knows how many attempts). So, I’m feeling lucky.

Keep things unchanged, and I fancy a 2-1 win. Onwards and upwards.

I wouldn’t mind a draw, but I think if we can get 6pts over Easter, we go into the Notts County game in a very good place.

1-1 draw

As LG says, it is supposed to piss it down for the rest of the week.

Not being funny, but don't they have a bit of a reputation for calling games off? Anyone happen to know if that's likely to happen?

I predicted 5 nil in Grimsby pre match forecast And i did say it will be slow start and as soon as we get 1 tye floodgates will open. Dissapointed we didnt get 5 or more!

As with the majority of teams in this division, we have a stronger squad and starting XI,yet despite this, we have still managed to lose to too many poor sides. However, at this stage of the season motivation should not be an issue, while confidence should be sky high.

Let’s hope we play to our potential for two games running, if we do I’m predicting 3 - 0.

Massive game - 3 points would be absolutely fantastic.

Play a full strength side against Newport, maybe rest one or two against Yeovil?

Rest players? We're in Div 4 not the Premier League. No one needs a rest, play strongest team every game as we need to keep winning.

Play the U23's. It will be piss easy.

In fact, why not the U18's? Coventry City Ladies?

Nottingham's a good place??

17% of our losses this season have been against Forest Green Rovers

To be fair i think ive paid enough towards the club this season to warrant a free 'pirating' stream for this game.

I understand your point, however Shipley seems to tire in games, 2 games in 4 days and he might be knackered for Notts County, was thinking maybe start Reid against Yeovil

About 100 left as of this evening-as per Sheila in the ticket office when I collected ours.
