I think it's more that many of the players have never played at this level of speed and physicality and they are initially behind the play and in shoke. Once they get used to it, they improve.
GOAL - Newport 3-1 Watford Padraig Amond (65 mins) Newport restore their two-goal lead as Padraig Amond takes advantage on poor defending before scoring his first goal of the season. The Exiles are 25 minutes away from their first ever place in the League Cup fourth round.
Imagine if these players wren't the ones 100% committed. We could be in for a long season! "it's only the cup," is not much relief. Fair play to Newport.
dyhk. Piper Hornet I see you a bit at the bottom of threads, but, you never comment. You're more than welcome too and it'd be great to have more posters. ¡Hola!
Good spot Mex, but I am just dipping in to see the score while playing Spdier solitaire, much more fun than the Leauge Cup !!
He had a look, put his arm out where it really ought not to have been and left it there. Won't have him for Saturday now, I'm sure the sanctions hold over from the league cup.
On a more positive note we will not have to pay £10 to watch more of this cup this season. Well done Newport, night all.
Well if most of the players currently “out” do leave, I think we’re not going to compete for promotion. I know most (but not all) of this team today was second string, but the games come quick in the championship so we’re likely to need them at some point. And it looks like they’re either not good enough, not motivated, or not being utilised the right way, or a combination of all of those.
