We are playing much better now. Flowing football! Wilshere & Snodgrass much improved this second half.

OldCastleSwift

Another poor challenge by a Newport player and no card.

Ref doing what he can to help them out.

SuzanneClaret

He’s not going to give any of them a card at any point.

Ever

MrsGrey

He left them at home on the kitchen table :ok:

SuzanneClaret

Some improvement in our play.

OldCastleSwift

Controlling the game now and looking like a PL team for the first time.

MrsGrey

Newport worked so hard early on to throw us off our stride. Knackered now.

Apart from our crossing. That's been proper Hackney Marshes

OldCastleSwift

Connor Coventry coming on :clap:

Lukerz

First half was tough & scrappy.

Second has been easy street.

MIAHammer

Lot of possession in the last 10 minutes but haven't really troubled their goal.

SuzanneClaret

Wilshere off without breaking a bone.

Adam

...And then he sat down on the bench and broke 5 bones.

SuzanneClaret

Great save Roberto

OldCastleSwift

Vladimir Labant

Walter Lopez

Razvan Rat

Wayne Quinn

All better left backs than Aaron Cresswell. Discuss.

MrsGrey

Well done the away fans. Newport on a Tuesday night. :clap:

OldCastleSwift

Coventry with a poor touch and Newport hit the bar

jay_in_cpt

Yeoldhammer

Hamstew

We were playing against Newport AND Coventry. That's harsh.

OldCastleSwift

Good result, obvs, but a sketchy performance, particularly in the first half.

Not sure any of these players are threatening the first team any time soon, but they got the job done.

Normally about now we get drawn against a top six team.

Not even Anderson or Diop?

Or Balbuena that many want instead of Ogbonna?

Clean sheet two players score debut goals but Antonio injured hopefully coming off straight away means he was being cautious and it’s not too bad

whupathman

happy happy joy joy

MIAHammer

The main thing is we avoided the banana skin.
Norwich losing to Crawley. Crystal Palace going to penalties against Colchester.

MrsGrey

Antonio was getting pelters on here 2nd half of last season. No footballing brain, shouldn't pull on the shirt again, will never score another goal .....

MrsGrey

4 games going to pens. I can't watch.

Ham be like #palaceLol

Hamstew

Crawley v West Ham :pray:
