Re: Newport Thread

The referee was an ALIEN FROM ANOTHER PLANET.
He was very lucky that the game did not descend into a violent affair due to his abject failure to spot or punish fouls.
Kayode literally had the cheating Yakubu on his back virtually throughout the match. The stupid ref only gave a couple of decisions against Yakubu and then at one point after Kayode did a nifty "wrestling" move to throw him off his back he almost booked Kayode! Kayode did really well to keep his composure!
Could not believe the parting of our defensive wall for their first goal!
For most of the match we played some good stuff.
Webber was very lively and creative. Pierro was as busy as usual and Kal took his header superbly. Murph took his goals well but initially I thought his cross for the second goal was going straight to the hands of Pidgley. That was until Kal came in with his storming run to head it literally off Pidgleys hands!
I still think that we concede too much space in central midfield as Joyce and Murph defend far too deep just outside our box. So often opponents run through our central midfield and expose our central defenders unecessarily.
Like everyone in the ground, I thought that we had won it on 88 minutes at 3 - 2. I seem to remember that we gave away possession too easily in front of the main stand that led to their equaliser on 92 minutes!
Once again though we have proved the equal of, (or better than), a team pushing up there near the top of the division!
KEEP THE FAITH
