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

Very good interviews there... Jatta back is a big bonus even of he wasn't at his best today, he did rat around to some effect, 6 points off top with 7 games to go...its all to play for and hopefully a few slip-ups on Tuesday night so we could take advance on Wednesday... should be an exciting run in...

Good win but so often this season we havent backed up a good away win with a good home performance/result. No excuses Weds because MKD are in stinking form with nothing to play for, though we all know Crowleys bound to have a worldie.

Amazingly still all to play for.

Good call!
Great to win today, but really need a win against a totally-out-of-form FC Franchise to capitalise!

Tuesday sees:

Crewe vs Grimsby
Donny vs Walsall
Vale vs Bradford
Wimbledon vs Swindon

You would expect Wimbledon to win, but the other three are really up in the air.

If you get a raft of draws on Tuesday and a win for us on Wednesday, it becomes ridiculously tight.

If the last 3 are all draws and we win we will be 3rd. Although Donny would have a game in hand.

Very happy with the win. How did we actually play today? It really was impossible to tell from the radio commentary. Liked Andy Legg as a player, but him and DB together on commentary just didn't work.

Andy Legg was good, that other moron was talking about Guinness records, Rugby, and a Bridge, while the game was in play. Can we have a petition to stop him commentating on our games

DC gives the MKD game a bit of spice - a rare home win on Weds would really fire up our promo charge.

Yes and that's why we've really got to be the 12th man on Wednesday and unite to get behind the team and SM. Let's hope the return of DC and Nemane results in us having a nullifying effect on them as we know what they are about.

MK Don's are bottom of the form guide in the last ten games, although they have won two out of the last five. We need to build on today's win and hopefully Jatta and Didzy can be the ones to unlock their low block if they do what a large majority of teams do that come to Meadow Lane and put men behind the ball.

Were the better team and deserved the 3pts. First half was solid, had the best of it, dangerous down the right with Tsaroulla dangerous cutting inside and Didzy and Whittaker probing. Newport caused us a few problems in front of our back 3, Josh Martin (remember him) looking dangerous for Newport pulling the strings playing centrally.

2nd half Notts came out of the blocks with more energy than the hosts. Didzy busy causing problems with his work rate in the channels and buzzing in behind, Jatta came to the fore with his hold up play and Abbott swinging his nuts about showing everyone who was the big dog.
It was a commanding second half that could/should have had one or two more goals for Notts. Platt, Badeau looking their imperious best and Macari being solid and productive but staying under the radar like he normally does.

Bloody hell Irish his team mates would have loved AJ today
We were totally dominant and Jatta was a big part of the reason
Great in defence and holding the ball up to bring others into play going forward
He was my MOM

I couldn't care less about Nemane but I hope the Whirling Dervish gets the reception he deserves.
