Newport v Doncaster 10/2/17

[RampantRover]

If I'm 100% honest, I'm worried about this one.

We're a footballing team, their pitch is horrific so no football will be played.

Fergie has just won manager of the month for January, so we could also get the curse!!

Right at this moment, I'd take a draw.

1-1

Expecting a loss to be fair given the pitch, I'm also worried about us picking up injuries.

 

[RampantRover]

Game being called off wouldn't be the worst thing to happen to the team but for traveling fans it would be!!

Would take a draw this evening to keep our little unbeaten run going, but have a good feeling we'll get all 3 points. We now appear to have a team suited to our shit tip of a pitch. Let's hope the Donny champagne charlies think the league is already won and bottle it.

Gonna be cold but pitch should be playable, just - no undersoil heating at Dave but the groundsman has a gritting truck at the ready. I think the freezing point of sand is lower than mud so we should be ok.

Well beaten at the Keepmoat earlier in the season - you lot were v good going forward but a bit flakey at the back. Parkin missed an open goal if I remember correctly. Doncaster are the best team I've seen this season and we are the worst. League table doesn't lie. Come on the Port.

 

[RampantRover]

No, tonights game will be a little bit of luck for the winner, no quality will be shown, the ball will bounce horrible. Both teams to score is worth a tenner.

Is this game on TV with it being a Friday night match?

 

[DearneValleyRover]

Hardly think we are champagne Charlie's we still need at least 6 wins for promotion. Our defence is better than it was when we played at the moat but tonight will not be for the purists

Is this game on TV with it being a Friday night match?

In a word - no

 

[RampantRover]

Not that I know of

 

[les.gtfc]

In a word - no

Was just wondering why it was a Friday night but then realised it's Wales v England at Egg Chasing on Saturday.

Our first loss of the season came at Rodney Parade, after Keith Curle had just won Manager of the Month, and kick-off was changed due to rugby internationals..

We're there on Tuesday, so make sure that you don't spoil that lovely playing surface too much won't you.

 

[shoddycollins]

Decent. This the first time Donny have failed to score? Be funny if it was because Newport are still the only team to keep a clean sheet against us.

 

[ProfessorGreen]

Nope we beat Donny 2-0 I believe.

 

[DearneValleyRover]

You did although we missed a pen in that game. I see that as job done, earned one more point than I thought we would get and no injuries

And I hope you left the pitch in pristine condition for us on Tuesday.

We didn't take our buckets and spades so it should be fine
