    Sounds like rotation but maybe not 11 changes , would expect Camara and Edun to start from the sounds of Dean's comments. 
    Bloody journo's......

    "... Dobson's 45 minute strike....."

    He didn't "strike' it. He bundled it over from about 3 yards out.

    A "strike" is a shot.......usually powerful & usually from distance - well, at least from more than a few yards out.

    Aaaargghhhh....
    He was obviously in the beer queue.

  •                  Isted

          Mitchell Hector Deji

    Egbo  Camara Mcgrandles Payne Edun

                  Kirk    Kanu

    That is how I would line up, gives a few needing minutes to get up to speed and fringe players the chance to prove what they can do without the need to risk too many first teamers.
    I would go pretty similar I think.. Still a strong enough side to do a job. Maybe Taylor instead of McGrandles. May not risk Camara on this one.
  • Is Terry Taylor anywhere near being fit ?

    That is for the ITK's at Sparrows lane. 
  • Deji suspended
  • will be amazed if May doesn't start.....don't want him to, but I suspect Dean will go pretty strong with regards to the starting XI
  • Be interesting to see if DH wants to keep consistency with 3-5-2 or because of the lack of strikers (assuming May is benched for this) he tries a 4-3-3. I think it’s been mentioned that we switch to it on the attack so could just go all out and maybe switch later to see the game out. Win or lose its minutes for some players who need it 
  • For the thirsty traveller, I’d recommend Tiny Rebel, 22 High Street, Newport - pretty near the station and the stadium and - more to the point - £3 a pint. Most acceptable 
  • Just paid £5.20 for a pint in the Cardiff one (still a lot cheaper than London). Will head over for my next one.

    Oh we're in the spoons. Might head there next. Tidy.
  • When will first chant of sheep shaggers come from the Charlton fans? I'm guessing the 5th minute.

    New ground syndrome so around a thousand travelling from London for this one. 

    An interesting city is Newport especially in the centre. Much like Wrexham based on my trips to both places over the last few years 
    Not been to the new ground yet, but did go to Newport's old Somerton Park ground in 1980-81 in our Third Division promotion season, managed by Mike Bailey.
    Memory a bit hazy now, but I'm sure I remember Paddy Powell scoring our winner, 2-1.


    Edit: Just seen your post now @Cardinal Sin
  • I'm guessing ESPN won't be broadcasting the game this evening? Seem to remember in the past they stream loads of the league cup games
  • Visited the Roman ruins of Caerleon, now time to hit Newport's sights and pubs...
    Very good , as Roman ruins in Britain go

    Unfortunately not, they’ve only got the one game tonight.

    Wrexham v Wigan, of course.

    Enjoyed the Roman Baths. The museum, amphitheatre and barracks are worth a wander too.

    On terrestrial tomorrow 11.00pm ITV 4 all matches.

    This lot saying they have a stream...lots of clickbait...might just be a gimic to get you to click thru...but will give it a try: https://hesgoals.to/soccer/schedule.  Have watched stuff on the site before.  Sometimes buffers a bit but better than nothing if it works at all!
  • Pre-match dinner in the Shoboraj curry house: no Tiny Rebel unfortunately (just Kingfisher) but I’m visiting the brewery tomorrow.
  • Anyone know if there's an iptv link to watch this?
