What I thought was striking watching the highlights was how, while we did have a few reasonable chances, they pretty much all came from us winning the ball back from Newport in their own half. We were able to create next to nothing from our own spells of possession, which is a bit of an issue for a team that has so much possession.
Some good points made. When you?ve had over 25 shots there is going to be a good mix or there should be of different types of attempts. Obviously there is the ones on target and off. I thought the keeper made an excellent save in the second half to deny us. We also had a few attempts outside the area as you mention and they went quite a way above the crossbar. Had we got a couple of those on target it would have asked questions of the Newport keeper.

It?s clearly telling that without JJ and Crowley we miss that creativity from when we have possession.
