We actually have patterns of play now. Calm in possession, lots of movement and options when on the ball and way more organised without it. I’m looking forward to seeing how we look against better teams coming up in the next few.

Have yet to see anything buy highlights since MF departed and won't be back from hols until next week, so missing this Saturday as well. Great value these ST's :lol:

Huw Jenkins seems to have a plan down there to sell young players to generate funds but they don't own the ground or training ground to my knowledge and have no other revenue streams. Crowds are similar to ours.
On hols, so great to read about improved performance, organisation etc. All I have seen are the highlights, if I was judging from just that, given the opposition, I wouldn't be getting ahead of myself, as it looked like it could easily ended up a draw. That could be highlights for you (?)
I don't agree with that. Other than the very start we controlled and managed the game, our midfield bossed it and we could have scored another when Hutchinson was clean through but Newport didn't threaten at all apart from the one ricochet which hit the post.
Yes, don't think I've seen us boss a match like that for a long while.
That said Luke Young hits the post and it dribbles into the net, whilst they do the same and the ball stays out.
Just shows that the highlights must have been as misleading as watching a new signings YouTube clips though.

Liverpool went 1-0 down inside a minute in front of the Kop yesterday because of a defensive error from one if the finest centre-backs of his generation. Mbuemo still has to have the nous to forsee the opportunity, the speed and determination to get in position and the skill to apply the finish. Happens to the best of them.

Three weeks ago, Archer doesn’t even follow in on the keeper and the chance never happens. That’s the difference.

You don't agree it could just be the highlights or that it could have ended up a draw ?
