James Linnington at Norwich. He used to be our 12th man but not anymore. Edit - just remembered he also sent off Simpson at QPR
Mr M Donahue this Saturday v the straw chewing carrot crunching cider guzzlers from over the Bridge. Since a 2-1 win v Wycombe he’s got a 100% record of losses so that needs to change
It’s the old Chelsea stopper again this weekend Last seen at Hull. Can’t blame him for our loss as he awarded us a rare penalty which was spurned. 3 times last season - all at home and all 2-1 score lines; 2 in our favour with the other to the wurzels.
Leigh Doughty at home v WBA Last seen here v Millwall- can’t recall much about the game TBH other than we lost to a Kipre error (like yesterday )
Last season 2.1 win at Preston, 1.0 home defeat to Fulham. Season before 2.1 defeat at Wycombe where, if my memory is right, Ipkeazu gave us a right bullying.
A mixed performance from the ref last night. Oliver Langford named as the ref for the crucial fixture at Rotherham. Coincidentally the last time he reffed a game involving City was when they beat Rotherham earlier this season so let’s hope for the same outcome.
Last night's ref seemed loath to make any major decisions. With VAR Ajayi's late foul would have seen a red in the Prem, as recent decisions have shown. But, hey ho, I was happy with the draw especially as we were under the cosh for the last 15 minutes. Ollie Langers has been around for a while so will inevitably have a mixed history with us. However I can't be ar$Ed to check it out. A repeat of the earlier season result in our favour will suffice.
Well the ref is announced for the derby game. Clue: he’s very small and shares a surname with a former Newport Co midfielder
Mabbut? Joking of course. Gary's Dad Ray. He was very, very small. Had to put the mowers on a very short cut to prevent him becoming a member of the famous African Fukawi tribe uttering their blood curdling war cry, we're the Fukawi???
Seriously though, WTF!!! The poisoned dwarf Stroud. The only consolation is the Jacks fans hate him as much as we do.
Ref at Blackpool is Josh Smith. He was the ref the last time these two clubs met, when he inexplicably failed to send off Madine whom of course then equalised.
