Some Positives From Today's Game 23:08 - Aug 8 with 3825 viewsJACKMANANDBOY

Whilst it was overall a disappointing day, there were a few positives:

Some of our passing in tight situations was very good
Lissah looks capable at Championship level
Yeo can beat an opponent
Idah had patches where he held the ball up and linked up play
Just in the 10 position looks as creative as anyone we have had for a while.

Few more:
Defence limited them to one shot on goal.
Vigs came off his line for crosses, big shout out to the new goalkeeping coach.
Bigger crowd than expected.

Tymon was great again always gives quality performances with loads of crosses into the box for Zan to finish. Same problem as last season not enough quality in the final third. Panic shooting instead of composure.

Regarding the shooting, im of a slightly different view. There were a number of times when a shot frim the edge of the box was on, but as usual we looked for that extra pass which didnt come off.

Opoku stand out performer for me
.
Kept running the entire game. Strong, physical - very impressed.
We had 4 or 5 new players on the field today who will take time to gel.
Lissah is going to be quite a player.
Major disappointment was the injury to Burgess.
He's had a torrid time lately and some of our brainless fans dont help with their lack of empathy to a potential serious injury.
Burgess is an old fashioned centre half - maybe not the perfect fit for us as too similar in style to Cabango.
Used to think he had captaincy qualities however as of late he has shown signs of a confidence issue.
Would be a stand out performer in many Championship sides who play basic old fashioned style football - Birmingham, Lincoln or Cardiff of old for example.
I wish the lad a speedy recovery.

Sorry but falling over isn’t a confidence issue anymore than stumbling over your own feet at a World Cup cup
It’s lack of balance / skill

I do agree he’s an old fashioned proper club man and a great pro. He won’t be happy with his own performances

His pass in the second half with the outside of his foot was sublime.....he may take over the sliderule name.

Leo Walta and his dead ball and passing. Outstanding.

There were three huge decisions in the box that went against us.
Firstly the handball penalty that wasn't given. Not sure what the ref was watching there.
Secondly Burgess taken out in mid air for their goal. Their attacker literally jumps straight into him with no intention of going for the ball. Definite free kick.
Thirdly the shirt pull on Stamenic. Not much in it, but Newport were awarded one.
So, on another day, we could be celebrating a 2-0 win.

The Stamenic shirt pull seemed to go on for ages, right in front of the ref, however the "fall" was less than convincing

Walta is class and we have to find a way to play him more

I think maybe the Burgess incident wasn’t given (and yes, maybe it should have) because the ball sailed 6’ over his head anyway. He was nowhere near it.

The second penalty shout I felt he went down once released from the shirt pull.

The first one was blatant. Only seen it the once but it was close to the edge of the area but just inside I think. Of course, we’d still need to score the penalty🥴

I'm sure the lack of a goal is playing on Widell mind and having an effect on his performances, we can see how Walta plays he knows he can score.

Our biggest issues are inability to put away chances ,allowing crosses ,not clearing ball quickly, and keeper kicking ball into touch
Best moment for me was Lissah seeing danger and blasting the ball forty yards into touch and safety
We still play 2/3 yard passes when under pressure . No need
We should play to the abilities of our players
Limited players can’t do pretty.

This (Re Burgess).

Maybe he should be competing with Cabango for a starting spot opposed to with him, as others have said, possibly too similar. But he's certainly not as bad as many posters on here like to paint.

Both seem to take it on turns
Cabsngo yesterday was tidy
Burgess looked horrific
Did he have wrong studs on , else why fall over twice and almost in exactly same circumstances
He’s an honest player , too honest really but he’s really too flawed for us to progress
