Burge 7 - Some excellent positioning and surprisingly good kicking today too. Grimmer 6 - Did not link well with Vincenti but a reasonable performance before being subbed. Willis 6 - Played it too safe with route one defending but still can't be too critical. McDonald 6 - Assured but...

Burge 6 - Largely untested Grimmer 8 - Excellent in defence and drove the team forward in attack on numerous occasions McDonald 6 - Solid Davies 7 - Solid but also classier and more composed than McDonald Haynes 6 - Adequate but largely anonymous performance Vincenti 5 - Didn't offer much...

Clearly the system isn't working and until Robins changes that then I can't see how things will turn around before January. Without doubt time to drop McNulty and try something else. Given the embarrassment of centre backs we've got 3-5-2/5-3-2 seems the most natural change in system with Biamou...

Burge - 3 Inspired no confidence in our defence. Too quiet. Terrible mistake and awful distribution. Letting RCC go looks hasty now. Grimmer - 5 Got forward well but guilty of poor decision making on occasions Willis - 5 Largely untested but did what he needed to well enough McDonald - 5 As...

OBrien - 4 Shocker for the goal and some brainless long kicks up field to give possession back to Newport cheaply. Grimmer - 4 Below average performance in both attack and defence. Willis - 5 Not too bad but needed to be more commanding. McDonald - 6 Did nothing wrong defensively. Added...

Was obviously a mistake on the script. Clearly was meant to be a minute silence but once a crowd starts clapping there's not alot you can do. Was very confusing and in the circumstances embarrassing. Unfortunate but it well observed with good intentions so move on.

Don't want to be too negative after tonights game but not many positives to take from it really. O'Brien looked really commanding tonight. Defence was fine. Grimmer had a howler for the second goal but other than that was good enough. Willis will improve the defence when he comes back. Centre...

I reviewed him a 6 yesterday saying "Languid style and lack of commitment when tackling will divide opinion. Effective game on this occasion". I stand by my comments but know others didn't agree. Certainly don't think he had a bad game. I said he'd divide opinion. Hopefully he doesn't get...

Anybody know why there were no replays on the screen today?

O'Brien - 7 Poor, nervous kicking to begin with but improved as the game went on. Could be more commanding. Grimmer - 7 As O'Brien. Some early mistakes but improved and provided an outlet as the game stretched. Stokes - 7 Solid and consistent game Hyam - 7 Solid and consistent game McDonald -...

To be clear this isn't a rumour but I think it's a move that SISU would likely make. He's already involved in the youth set up which is primarily going to be what any manager next season has to work with realistically. He would be the affordable option and would be be presented as the club...

For better or worse, I think there's every reason to think Sam Ricketts is being lined up as the successor to Slade. That being the case I would like to think our owners would get rid of Slade now and give Ricketts the job until the end of the season. If he shows no signs of being up to the job...

That's a good enough answer for me. Cheers

Anyone know if it's ok to take one into the ground or not?

Question answered. I'm glad to find he wasn't making a 'Beckham sarong' type fashion statement!

Did anybody else who went to the game today notice Stokes was wearing what looked like a sports bra? What's all that about!!?

You're not meant to spoil the surprise that it's red ;)! CCFC fans, you know when they do the official launch on Friday, can you all still act surprised for them?

For every Dennis Wise there's a De Zeeuw or a Sherwood or a Kilbane etc etc etc who you wouldn't expect to let you down but are just past it by the time they come to Cov. Experience can count for alot but it will also cost alot if their legs or appetite for the game have gone!

Consistency is key and although Reda is clearly a better option than some of our other defenders when he is fit, his fitness record speaks for itself so he rarely is an option. Clearly has quality but having to change things around to accommodate him for the weeks he is fit has caused us...

Definite legend. Down to earth, thoroughly nice bloke too!!
