Not sure how to judge this one, but here goes... Newport are 19th in the league for a reason, which although it makes them slightly better than the Gills, they have won one in the last six league games, whereas Gills have won er....none! But Newport have scored 10 more league goals than us, so looks likely to be a Newport win. However, if I'm watching on Ifollow I don't want to see a loss... 0-0
Tuesday said it all our alleged TOP STRIKER ( 2 goals in 17 games ) misses a penalty, we struggle to score but just about hang on for the win. HANG ON. They are about 500 places below us. I cannot pin down what the problem is. Player-wise, potentially we have a good team, Gaffer wise we potentially have a good Gaffer. Now I have been around top teams in my chefing day's as I was head Chef at the Vale do Lobo Sports Academy. Pre-season training saw some very good teams, BUT vibes between Players and Managers differ and results dont happen. Change the gaffer and the trick works. We are not in a situation to change, who? would want to come to a struggling team with an owner wanting to sell or wait for insolvency and scat down the grounds to build flats? Our season says it all 17 games and just 11 goals. BUT only conceded 19 so defense wise we seem to be OK, well sort of. We need wins and lots of them, I sadly cannot see it happening today. Although they have only scored 5 more than us but conceded 3 more. Hartlepool away to Barrow so we could still stay out of the relegation zone. My heart keeps saying we must get going soon, we are still only 6 games away from the play-offs, There are still 29 games to go. COMEEEEEE ONNNNNN YYOOUUUUUUUUU GILLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS FECKING GROW A PAIR Newport 1 v TMKB 2 ( Bogle. Mandron and Baggott )
