Match Thread - Newport County v Port Vale

[Fosse69]

Will the lads be looking forward to a match away from Vale Park, although the pitch at Rodney Parade has had its problems too. Based on results it may be a factor. How will Newport be feeling? Cock a hoop with their 93rd min cup equaliser in Pulisland or drained by their exertions? Another shuffle after Miller`s early bath, chance for another striker to put a claim in.

Snow forecast Tuesday evening so may be a factor. Their league form has been poor in recent months hence the dive down the table. Big game if we can just win by hook or crook we open up a large gap again.

Though I would love to be proved wrong, I feel it's almost inevitable Neil will start the same team as yesterday with Harris replacing Miller

[Rampant Zebra]

Since we only have around 18 fit players available Neil's choices are fairly limited anyway

Well he needs to bring some in. Oh there are no defensive players available now. Soap Vale Park carries on. Script is:

 

Only our club can have the Chairman run over and continues to break promises he makes to press on the radio. The manager thinks he is still in the non-league and only gets players of non-league status/experience.

[PV1973]

Have to agree that I think we’ll start the same 11 except Harris for Miller.

[TheSage]

It might not be a bad time to play them.

 

If we are looking to sign a striker then we should pair him with Harris and go for the three points.

Rawlinson should be dropped for Legge.

Monty on the left wing.

 

Like you, I expect us to go one up front again!

We're more likely to be drained than them after playing two games in four days with ten men?

That’s a good point. Monty for Kay and drop Manny back to centre mid?

[valeparklife]

We will play 5 at the back with 2 holding midfielders.

 

We will have 1 or 2 shots on target.

 

We will lose.

 

Aspin will say "We were unfortunate with the goals, the players gave everything, we didn't deserve to lose".

 

The clown of an owner still won't sack him.

 

Repeat until relegated.

The pitch has improved at Newport because of the pitch being half synthetic. If you had commented on the pitch a few seasons ago I would have agreed with you it was a quagmire

 

The pitch is like a carpet and one of the best pitches in league two

It may be but they had a game off over Christmas.
