What happened to the high pressing, attacking football we started the season with ?

Kemp is not good enough end of!
Smyth on please
Or
Moss on for Kemp and Khan behind front 2

We don’t pass the ball anymore. Looked really useful early season. That’s all gone. Too direct. Get the ball down and play. Kemp not what we need.

That's the eternal mystery, started well had one bad game and abandoned everything that was good beforehand

Look way better. Some passing.

Kemps touch & passing is abysmal !

I hope that this is not a draw

If so, it is 3 wins from 16 games...

0-1

Faen.

Not even angry, just resigned. No goals in 5 games now. f*** this, I’m going home.

Well won Newport corner for the goal.

Because we have the league two Sam allardyce as manager who is so negative and plays hoof ball when it’s so out of fashion now football has moved on and so should he get him gone and give it to Matt Harrold to end of season and get a manager on the up than one who was in the championship and now in league two.

Sucker punch but what do you expect when we create basically nothing. Opposition keepers might as well not bother with gloves when they play us.

We are shambolic at present, pathetic.

Absolutely shocking, we are so poor, don’t even look like scoring or winning football matches.
Closer to Colchester in 22nd than we are to Mansfield in 7th (points)
Forget playoffs we are nowhere near playoffs.
On this showing and current form we are a bottom half team and won’t even finish in top 10!
Shocking the way our season has gone.

Players didn't look interested , Newport were full of running chasing & hassling .

Very worrying

Terrible result. Newport were well organised but offered little. Worrying that we can't score goals. Including Stoke that's our 5th goalless match in a row. Play offs looking too far away. So so disappointing.

Well that was incredibly disappointing.
That's just about the end of our season.

It is .

Something’s gotta change and needs to happen right now.

We are a long good ball team who don't create chances, don’t play football and cannot score goals.
Absolutely shocking.
We are a very poor L2 side who on current form will finish bottom 5!
Shows how reliant we were on James & Theo!

On the plus side the 2 new boys looked decent , id have khan much further forward .

So so so disappointing and frustrating. Hard to know where a goal is coming from. Play offs look on another planet.
