level and somewhat lucky TBH. We are making the 5cum almost look good. Defending we need to improve. Is it midfield not tracking back and/or defenders outta position? Whichever it needs improving.
Newport goal was a result of midfielders out of position and not tracking back when we lost the ball we were left with an overload down the wing and to be fair to them it was not an easy finish it was a very well taken goal curling it in after cutting inside. Too often we lose the ball and don’t track back and get into shape quick enough.
Ifollow HT stats think County won 100% tackles surely that cant be right? Lets hope Lee and John can get the momentum in final minutes of first half going again. COYR
Good point in the end. But no quality today. Would question the substitutions. When down to 10 men why leave your slowest attacking player on up front on his own. Needed to leave Nads on to at least give us an outlet with pace.!!
FT 1-1. Poor game. No shots on target from Crawley. Newport went ahead early on and we equalised with a bizarre fluke own goal. Second half we started well, but the sending off really killed the game. Allarkhia was unlucky to be sent off for a high foot/ dangerous play as it was completely accidental and his foot wasn’t that high, Newport players made the most of every foul. He didn’t do much in the game anyway. From then on we held on fairly comfortably as Newport toiled, but lacked any cutting edge. Poor game all round from both teams. Good point under the circumstances having played 30 minutes down to 10, but with 11 we were pretty lacklustre.
Very very sloppy today. Gave the ball away far too easily. Allarakhia guilty of this more than most. Unlucky to be red carded, but should’ve been taken off at HT as he was having a horrible game, consistent with many of his performances
