Scoring goals so late so regularly isn’t luck. It’s belief in themselves and a reluctance to accept defeat. In part by the fact that opposition are just absolutely fucked at the end and also that never say die attitude we might question their decision making, execution, ability at times but you cannot question their heart players running through a brick wall for the shirt and the club. That’s alls we ask

Corrected for you pal

Reading Stevenage Huddersfield Bradford Stockport

Yep was there a a nipper. Sure it was Sunday? Was in the terrace behind the goal but sure we had the majority of the seating down the side of the pitch too?

We have just felt very lopsided attacking wise all season. Until ACDs injury an awful lot of our build up & attacks came down his side. since his injury and CBT coming in, we now feel very left sided. would give sides hell of a lot to think about and contain if we were as effective from both sides at the same time

But also what he can’t legislate for is the individual decisions of the players through that period. Toal & Forino who were composed and commanding until that point went to pieces. Diving in, miscued passes, missing headers that 2nd goal is laughable really. Sheehan shows but just because he shows you don’t have to give it him. Just send the fucker in to the sky and take the pressure off game management from the bench and the players is like kids football

Another 2 points thrown away total domination (again) countless chances missed (again) should’ve been out of sight by HT (again) what absolutely amazes is me is when we finally get the breakthrough it feels like it shocks us to the core and gives the opposition a boost of confidence. I’ve never seen anything like it Absolutely no fucking idea what the play offs will turn out like cos we’re all as keen to throw the opportunity away as each other

Yeh big rivalry Cardiff and Bristol city Bristol rovers have a similar hatred of Newport for similar reasons

Think there was always an inevitably about Sam leaving. As much as he spoke about how shocked he was and how he never saw it happening, his aspirations were always going to be bigger than us as a club and his stock was rising. So the only questions were the circumstances surrounding how he went a when. The time he left definitely felt like that chapter had closed and no matter who we got in it would never reach the same heights

Dundee must be the UK smallest and when you factor in the proximity too. Walking past your rivals ground for a home game is bizarre to me. Sure I read a while back that when they played it was hatred yet when the big boys came to town like the old firm or Aberdeen, Dundee and united then combined and would all have a beer together? Even odder in England I think stoke, notts and Bristol are the smallest 2 team places

There’s a few I can’t get on board with lashers v PNE Plymouth v Exeter Norwich v Ipswich think Palace v Brighton is over rated too

I firmly believe a “derby” is only really a same city thing the rest are rivalry’s. Local or for any other matter although I do think in some instances a local rival game generates more hatred than a same city derby as they’re often built on historical issues / fundamental different way of seeing the world united hate Liverpool far more than city for example. not sure I could cope with us having a rival in the same town. Get worked up enough over local games. the stoke & Vale hatred is under estimated too. It’s pure, mouth foaming tackle

Won’t get a clap or any abuse. The fella is absolutely irrelevant to me now it’s all about what Schuey and his group of players do for us

Inevitable that PG was the messenger getting shot

IIRC Sam had said previously that we were 4th going in to the Jan window and the club had budget a £15m budget for the following summer. He wasn’t asking for extra money but that budget to be brought forward to enable him to sign the players needed to keep us in the CL spots that’s where the message relayed back was “we don’t want CL football” as you say PG sadly can’t respond to those claims but it has been position that Sam has relayed on a few occasions over the years
