Great result for Newport, they're a dogged team particularly down at theirs.
Result of the day for me in our league is Morecambe winning away at MK Dons with an injury time winner after conceding after 2 minutes.

Yeah, will have a nosey on their board but surprised to see Boyle starting. That's his first league start since the end of September (Crewe, the game after Tanto and Barry destroyed him). Similarly, no Fletcher who's been crucial for them lately and scoring 4 in the last 3. Maybe a return of his knee injuries...? Whatever that starting back 3 of Boyle (now suspended)-Tozer-Clewworth certainly can be got at. I think Clewowrth has kicked on since we played him in the NL though, bit like Pye. Then McAlinden made the today so that also suggests injuries. Suspect they'll bring in a star name or two before the end of the window, but - fit - I think our squad is a year on from theirs and more balanced and I'd take DC over Parkinson anyway. Wrexhams injury news from PP: “Tom has a slight fracture in his foot which will keep him out for a few weeks. Fletch felt his calf and failed a fitness test this lunchtime. He wasn’t quite right but it’s nothing serious. Andy Cannon took a blow to the head last week and the doctor didn’t feel it was right for him to play. Unfortunately, Fordey’s back spasmed yesterday and he wasn’t able to play.” Thanks. So nothing that bad (unlike us) but they are all starters for them currently and Newport away was a tricky game to begin with. I wonder if they'll look to bring in a CB. O'Connell who they subbed on is meant to be good but the next injury is always around the corner - similar for Hayden but his form has dropped off. Fletcher too is nearly 37 so that will happen. They aren't like us using the loan market though (besides Okonkwo who they want to sign permanently). Wouldn't be surprised to see them spend big on a couple of L1/ fringe Championship players. Similar to Palmer where the offer is too good for the club not to cash in even in Jan.

That whopper from the Fearless in Devotion fanzine never learns, does he?
So many times he tempts fate with his bravado before games and often makes a right tit of himself. I know his tweets have zero influence on the game but even still. Don’t put yourself out there to be laughed at.

Looking through twitter tonight it seems Wrexham have gone off the Boyle🤣

Get in. Watched the 2nd half and Wrexham were dire. Newport really good to be fair to them. Much happier with our squad and manager. I obviously don’t watch them every week but the likes of Tozer, McLean and Boyle never seem up to much and I think those 3 would be in our top 5 earners. DC is also streets ahead of Parkinson. A way to go yet but what a position to be in mid Jan with half our first 11 shortly returning from injury. Yeah, will have a nosey on their board but surprised to see Boyle starting. That's his first league start since the end of September (Crewe, the game after Tanto and Barry destroyed him). Similarly, no Fletcher who's been crucial for them lately and scoring 4 in the last 3. Maybe a return of his knee injuries...? Whatever that starting back 3 of Boyle (now suspended)-Tozer-Clewworth certainly can be got at. I think Clewowrth has kicked on since we played him in the NL though, bit like Pye. Then McAlinden made the today so that also suggests injuries. Suspect they'll bring in a star name or two before the end of the window, but - fit - I think our squad is a year on from theirs and more balanced and I'd take DC over Parkinson anyway. I Wonder if County fans will swamp their social meda channels with BOTTLED IT like when we lose? EDIT they are already crying on the BBC website that the ref couldn't handle the atmosphere of a BIG CLUBS travelling support😂😳

One thing’s for sure: the BBC portraying Newport County as the plucky underdogs in their writeup will go down like a cup of cold sick!

The money helps of course but there’s a limit to west you can get. I remember being on red passion when their takeover went through and the majority on there were saying they’ll just be signing regular championship starters - that was whilst they were non league! It’s not materialised and they profile they generally look for under Parkinson is big physical players. It’s what they do.

What a great set of results today. A Barrow Crewe draw is the only way it could have been any better.
Seems Jurassic Parky is still struggling to sort Wrexham's away form. 4 of their next 6 league games are away.

Apparently they are after Ben Woodburn ex Liverpool who is now at Preston, but a lot of the Wrexham lot are moaning about it.

Until they change manager t’will ever be thus 😁

Seems Jurassic Parky is still struggling to sort Wrexham's away form. 4 of their next 6 league games are away. Anyone else notice in interviews his blotchy red Fergie style cheeks and nose? Wrexham fans reckon he's a managerial par with Fergie and Brian Clough, and could well be right.

Fair to say they absolutely hate Boyle. Disagreement over whether it was a deserved red. Some pointing out that it didn't matter that he won the ball if he followed through into the Newport player with studs up and a straight knee
