Newport are in big trouble. Just have no quality about them in any area it seems. if either of the bottom 2 get their shit together, then I wouldn't bet on Newport staying up.

 

[leedsvaliant]

Thought Swindon were much the better team 2nd half. Newport have one or two capable players but they look very soft at the back and really struggled at times.

 

[valefan16]

Said it last week and could say the same in September when we played them but Newport defensively are one of the poorest I’ve seen at this level, could of had 7 or 8 in both fixtures.

If Carlisle or Morecambe get some form they could be in big trouble

 

[valefan16]

What's Pepple like? Capable of leading the line?

Think it will be a tough game for us but with a fully fit squad we should be decent opposition.

Our subs bench tomorrow should be ridiculous with the full squad available, likely Byers, Chislett, Ronan Curtis, Tom Sang and Rico Richards on there.

Positive signs for us in having those options finally.

Would like to see us stick with 3-5-2 and go with:

Amos

John
Smith
Hall

Clark
Croasdale
Garrity
Harper
Headley

Stockley
Tolaj

Throw Byers on for last 30 for Harper. On paper probably the strongest we’ve looked all season assuming no new injuries, hopefully translate that onto the pitch.

 

[Gassy]

Seen Swindon have picked up results here and there, but seeing them really climb out of the battle is quite impressive.

I really thought Holloway was a terrible appointment and at the beginning that looked to be holding true, but fair play to him

I'd go with that team too. What Moore actually picks is a different story!

When we were top by 5 points, we generally had the players available that we do now, so hopefully that strength in depth will stand us in good stead again.

We need to keep this mini run going.

Yeah he's an absolute rambling west country yokel, but he's picked up points and turned our season around, fair play.

I thought the same, thought his time had passed but he's doing a pretty good job.

 

[GTFCfish]

Swindon should be relegated immediately for letting that Charlatan Hudlin score against them.

 

[codaplenty]

After 2 good wins against good opposition, Fleetwood have the opportunity to make it 3 in a row with Carlisle the visitors tomorrow. If we play to the standard of the last couple of matches we can win. Anything less we will struggle. Carlisle have nothing to lose and everything to gain from Saturday, new players have been brought in and they will be, or should be determined to make a point, or three......

[markus007]

Another disinterested 2nd half performance. Swindon were functional, worked harder collectively and that was enough. I can't see Jardim lasting

 

[ROVERS⚽️]

You always play better against us, I don’t think we’ve scored against you in the League yet

We certainly haven’t at home, we lost 3-1 away last season and threw a 2-0 lead to draw 2-2 under Scholfield at there place, but that’s about it goal wise. 1 draw and 4 defeats makes them our current bogey team, arguably alongside Newport. They do tend to be close games though, they are a decent team in all fairness, i think Sharp may be important tomorrow. Big 3 points if we can get back to back league wins, would be some much needed momentum at last DearneValleyRover but I won’t hold my breath.

 

[leedsvaliant]

I only saw him against Grimsby but thought he did well considering it was his first start in the league for us. Pretty much everything that went up to him stuck, and he seemed to bring others in to play well.

Yet to be seen what sort of a goal threat he will be, but the early signs are promising. He’ll definitely give your centre halves something more to think about than Drummond did at your place when he came on for the injured Grigg in the first half.

Hopefully he puts in one of those 'inexperienced young loan player ' performances and not turn into Drogba!

I'd hope that Smith with all his horrible shithousery will get under his skin!
