Leyther_Matt Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Hopefully we’ll be going down there on the back of three points against Colchester. Newport are back in Newport after two games in Cardiff to give them a chance to rest the pitch at Rodney Parade. Just in time for it to host Dragons RU v Northampton on Saturday night. FFS. Fingers crossed it stays dry or the pitch will be knackered for Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mounts Kipper Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 I thought this would be a very tough game but their home form isn’t brilliant, think the Salford games going to be tougher as there home form is very decent. I’ll go with a 0-2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted March 29, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted March 29, 2021 How come they didn’t play this weekend? Anyhow, we’re good enough to win but let’s get 3 points on Friday first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitesince63 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 I don’t fear anyone with our current team and hopefully we’ll have seen off Colchester and be full of confidence going to Wales. The question will be what team turns out on Monday, will IE “rest” a few of our regular players on Friday when we should be able to beat Colchester whoever we put out? I wouldn’t be surprised if Doyle were rested for Miller and possibly Lee with George but I don’t think much will change in defence. It would though be nice if we could get a comfortable lead against Colchester to risk taking off Rico or Baptiste after an hour to ensure they’re fit for this one. Either way, I expect two wins and six points to ensure we’re top three by next weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Casino Posted March 29, 2021 Moderators Share Posted March 29, 2021 the only player with any history of being rested is lee for that reason, maybe its isgrove for lee other than that, unchanged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted March 29, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted March 29, 2021 I don't see the need to rest anyone from the start between now and the end of the season tbh, our run in isn't that congested. I'm sure he'll take a few key players off early though if we are comfortably leading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the Welsh aren’t that bad that they’re picking players from the Newport team? If they are they need to take the Scottish approach and just call up anyone that can point them out on a map of the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, we shouldn't be resting anybody in the run in, fair enough if we're 3 or 4 up, and he wants to take somebody off early, but don't start fucking around with the team when there's only 9 games to go. We need to be going full strength no matter who we play, we've seem how results have gone for others recently, when they've played "lesser" teams, we don't want to risk that happening to us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also needs to keep fringe players involved and that’s why I expect him to make changes for Friday and keep his best 11 for Monday. Like you I’d prefer not to change a winning team but I think we will see a number of switches for the Colchester match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marple whites Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Need to play 1 game at a time and 3 points against Colchester is a must, then see what Monday brings. last thing we want to do is underestimate Colchester and balls up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthur and Zebedee off the bench if needed, losing faith with Maddison he looks shot, hope I'm wrong because I really want it to work out for him and us.
