⚽ Match Thread vs. Newport County 29.03.25 [EFL L2]

Job done. 3pts, couldn't give a toss as to performance. Hope this is the turnaround after a blip.

We'll see on Wednesday

auto still very much within reach ATM. But any slip up in the last few games will throw it.

[Mud Pie]

so... why can't we do that at home too?

...is the question. We still struggle to get creative enough to deal with the low block and good press that teams use away from home. At home when teams give a go, like today, we're able to play through them - is my attempt at an answer.

Really wish Didzy would think about those flicks. He could have collected that and been on goal.

so... why can't we do that at home too?

As I said before I think it?s creativity, teams that don?t come out too much we struggle as bar Didzy we don?t have that many genuine game changers , Crowley was, JJ is and I can see something in Jarvis but he?s got a way to go and that?s it probably.

Leaders Walsall without a win in 7 now.
Third bottom Tranmere now currently the longest unbeaten, 6 games.

Five more wins needed for automatic promotion and possibly a draw as well.
Three more wins would surely settle a play off spot.

It was a case of job done and we move onto MK Dons at home. It was good we increased our goal difference as well as Wimbledon have +4 on us and that could be worth an extra point at the end of the season it is so tight.

Also a positive was that both Wimbledon and Walsall dropped two points. A pity Port Vale won but at least it keeps Crewe away from the playoffs and widens the gap.

What it does mean that incredibly we are closer to 1st place than we are to 8th place with 6 points separating us and Walsall and 7 points separating us and Colchester.

Nobody want's to win the title or get promoted . Automatic promotion is anybody's in the top six at this stage.

That final game at home to Doncaster gets more tasty by the minute

We'll see on Wednesday

If we could only get on a mini-run between now and the end of the season!

Still, pleased about today, on we go.............
