I’m glad I didn’t go, I was nearly tempted for 30secs.

The away fans deserve more.

a

five.

It doesn't work and we look lost and struggling all over the pitch.

This.

Cashin has struggled but the worst player on the pitch by miles has been Hourihane. I'd move to 4-4-2 and bring a lot more legs and positivity into midfield.

Hourihane off for Knight. Something like.

Wildsmith

Smith     Rooney     Cashin     Forsyth

Thompson

Knight     Bird    Sibley

McGoldrick    Collins

Need to control the midfield, get everyone higher up the pitch and bodies in the box. I'm always surprised when Warne picks experienced and slow Collins and McGoldrick together, with both inexperienced and speedy Osula and Dobbin on the bench. It makes attacking subs in the second half harder.

Well he is if he actually referred to himself as the "League One Pep", otherwise not

[duncanjwitham]

We look like we’ve set up to match their system and to try and stop them playing, which we’ve mostly done, bar one bit of poor defending from a set piece. 

Maybe it’s just me, but I think we should be trying to outplay a team a league below us, make the most of having better players than them ?‍♂️

[Thameram]

Knight osula dobbin barks on anyone off

[Jourdan]

Newport have deserved everything they have got.

We have been awful.

We need Dobbin and Osula on to give them something to worry about.

Don't worry folks we've got the league 1 Pep to sort it all out. 

Pepsi and Shirlie could have done better.

[nogbad van 50]

Would like to see Rooney at RB,Stearman on and Forsyth moved to LB in a back 4 .Push Smith into midfield to replace Thompson and ,at some stage get Dobbin and Osula on to give us some pace.If I never see Sibley again I'll be happy.

We could easily win this 3-1 , but I am afraid the armband has to go to a player with leadership skills. Fozzy?

Derby really, really poor.

Injuries, players, manager, budget- dunno who to blame but there is no decent play, no pattern of play, nothing being created.

Do the players even know that we're playing in white?

Warne-ball = hoof ball 

Change to 442. Put a left back at left back (Forsyth). Get Barkhuizen and Dobbin on in the hope of creating something.

 

Osula to stretch their defence.

To be fair, it was a pretty decent header for the goal.

Shouldn't have got anywhere near it if any of the four Derby defenders around him could have been arsed to try to head the ball.

I am surprised Osula didn't start after success v Torquay, but McGoldrick was very good in the last away game so I suppose that's what earned him his place.

Screams Nigel Clough. And nobody wants to go back there. 

Get Ousla and Dobbin on to try and win the game. Who cares if we go out? Let's at least have a go. 

[DavesaRam]

Newport have given us a good game so far. We have been off it all game. Cadhin has been poor but done some good stuff too. Sibley has been poor be ause he shouldn’t be playing there. But Hourihane has been embarrassingly bad. Several times he has received the ball in space and just given it a flick or overhead lump, every time to Newport or nowhere.

The kack of pace means our midfield are lacking a Sibley type of player who can carry the ball at the opposition. If only we had a Sibley type of player in midfield.

And the goal is simply because we were ball watching.

Tommo has been pretty good so far but that’s about it. Unless Warne is banking on Newport tiring, then we bring on Dobbin, for example.

Who knows? Who cares?

Really. Don’t think that has made any difference. There are a lot of so called leaders out there. We have just been dire.

Knight for Hourihane would definitely be an improvement. Happy to forego the one decent delivery in every ten or so passes in exchange for some energy and a bit more going forward.

I wouldn't take Collins off just yet (physical games are up his street as long as he controls his elbows) but maybe Dobbin for Sibley and switch to 4 at the back, Fozzie at left back.

To be fair, it was a pretty decent header for the goal.

Why take off Sibley? Just change to a 4 at the back and pass the bloody ball to him up field! He looks so lost stood out on the wing, Hourihane never passes to him and takes any pass that might get though to him. Poor Louie. ?

Not sure that's the reason we're losing to be fair

[SinceIWasntSoYoung]

Looks like the we haven’t played for nine months never mind nine days?

[vonwright]

Think I'm saying this every game now but I'm going to say it again: please play four at the back. We don't have any wing backs, and in any case it isn't a formation that brings the best out of the squad that we have. I like Warne but he's being ridiculously stubborn on this point.
