Yep, agree. Potter has managed to turn our stand out player into a bang average centre half!

I'm guessing it's playing three at the back that is affecting Dunk. Then again we're shipping goals all over the place so perhaps it's just a drop in form and inferior coaching. For all the young players coming through, it's noticeable how some of our "better" players like Ryan and Dunk appear to be getting worse.

Christ, I don't look at this thread if I'm watching a stream, for obvious reasons.
Just popped on at HT to see what the general consensus is as I thought it wasn't a bad half on a difficult surface.,
Big mistake. there are some right joyful souls on here aren't here.

I don’t understand where Ali J is playing or Mac or Gross. To be fair I’ve struggled since football moved on from the old W formation..

At the start of this season, the Newport pitch looked superb, strangely green due to grass.

But it seems to be regressing to its normal beachlike look .....

Going direct is all very well but who is going to hold the ball up. I don’t know what people expect as we are controlling the game on a difficult pitch. Newport haven’t offered much and I’m a bit disappointed with them to be honest. Think we will nick one in the second half as 1-0 will be good enough

Would like to see us put a few over the top in the channels for Maupay as the ball is sticking and slowing up

Steele?

Potter picked him ahead of Ryan and Walton.

Newport are really disappointing. Was expecting blood and thunder.

Its just not possible out there. Quite evident that doing a lot of tackling and fighting out there is pretty much going to end in getting injured. Second half is most likely going to be equally slow.. and boring.
