Anderton, Nolan, Thomas, Whelan, Clarke, Loft Jon Nolan makes it to the subs bench today System appears to have changed from 4 2 3 1 to 4 3 3 with with Evan, Finley and Coutts playing as the middle 3 Coutts slightly deeper and E Anderson and Nicholson playing as wingers
Rovers 1 - 0 Exeter Luca Hoole 10th minute Jevani Brown scores for Exeter 1 - 1 From the commentary on I follow it appears to be all Exeter we need to get a grip of the game, why change a winning formation Hooles shot cleared off the line by Nombe 32nd minute Crawley 2 FGR 0 latest score 1 minute stoppage time HT 1 - 1
HT change for Rovers Loft for Finley Cheick diabate is being stretchered off replaced by Jonathan Grounds 51st minute Sam Frost reports attendance as 9689 Nombe off Kieran Phillips on Luke Thomas on for Aaron Collins 77th minute Jevani Brown replaced by Josh Coley 84th minute Connor Taylor down injured after bumping into Anthony Evans 87th minute Taylor fit to carry on
Jonathan Grounds booked for a cynical foul on Evans 90th minute 7 minutes stoppage time 90+4 Whelan on for Nicholson FT 1 - 1 Swindon and FGR both lost 2 - 1 and our near neighbours lost 2 - 0
Tomorrows ref is David Rock who has officiated in nine league 2 games dishing out 30 yellow and 3 red cards, an average of 3.33 yellow and 0.33 red cards. Could be an interesting match tomorrow
Tonight's line up v Barrow 4 2 3 1 formation Belshaw, Hoole, Anderton, Taylor, Connolly, Whelan, Nicholson, Evans, E Anderson, H Anderson, Clarke Subs Jaakkola, Coutts, Finley, Nolan, Collins, Loft, Saunders. Three changes for tonight Collins, Coutts and Finley replaced by Anderton, Whelan and Clarke Whelan takes the captains armband for tonight's match Barrow's away strip is Pink and Black
Barrow have the ball in the net offside flag to the rescue 6th minute Newport beating FGR 1 - 0 Niall Canavan shown straight red, pulling back Clarke 323nd minute. They finished their home match with 10 men and Barton said they played well after who ever was sent off in the first match. Free kick 20 yards out. Evans cleared the bar by a couple of yards with the free kick 40th minute Clarke has the ball in the net disallowed offside 3 minutes stoppage time Evans booked for a cynical foul 45+2 HT 0 _ 0 but with a man advantage 2nd half Attendance 6685, 88 from Barrow Massive predicted 6669, can't we ban him so that he doesn't keep winning
Anderton booked 53rd minute Harry Anderson moves to LB as Collins replaces Anderton 59th minute. According to I Follow Anderton is injured Clarke alone in the box but puts his shot wide of the target
Came on in the 59th minute Bluebaldee Gordon replaces White 63rd minute Think it's time we put loft on instead of Clarke or put Collins up front and put another MF on Collins booked 67th minute Hutton replaces Harris 70th minute Elliott Anderson replaced by Loft 71st minute We seem to be missing a lot of chances, I can see us getting caught by a sucker punch and losing this game Saunders on for Clarke 79th minute
10 minutes plus stoppage can't se us getting anything other than a draw And as I type with my 1 finger Evans scores Rovers 1 - 0 82nd minute Banks shot takes a deflection and goes out for a corner
Only when I type Rovers trying to defend their lead Barrow have just hit the post and then won a corner, 6 minutes extra Harry Anderson MOM FT Rovers 1 - 0 up to 9th in the table J Clarke got himself sent of in Newports draw with FGR James Clarke our old FB now plays for Newport Same one???
That was a really tough one! Barrow were pretty much the most negative side I've ever seen. Fair play to the lads for plugging away and what a goal! Playoff places here we come very soon. UTG!
We're top of the form table now over the last 6 games, and second in the form table over the last 10 games. Only Mansfield are better.
Newport v Rovers ref is Darren Handley who has officiated at 7 league 2 matches this season issuing 27 yellow and 3 red cards, an average of 3.71 yellow and 0.43 red, could be another interesting afternoon on Saturday Former loanee Dom Telford is Newport's top scorer with 24 goals, though they do concede goals with a 3 - 3 and 4 - 2 in the last few games, they have also picked up 24 yellow and 2 red cards including one for James Clarke ex Rovers in I believe their last match
Clarke will be upset to miss our game. Telford in 24 goals? Wow. I did rate him but never given a chance compared to Nichols for example.
I like Dom Telford always looked a handful for opposing defences, I also thought Tom Nicholls was played out of position more an attacking left sided midfielder to me, and like Telford had a good work rate just unfortunately no end product See Canavan's Red card was overturned
Todays line up v Newport formation 4-2-3-1 Belshaw, Anderton, Hoole, Taylor, Connolly, Whelan, Nicholson, Evans, E Anderson, H Anderson, Collins Subs Jaakkola, T Clarke, Coutts, Finley, Nolan, Loft, Saunders Whelan takes the captains armband today
