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. 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. Maybe he's a piss head like Clough and Fergie.

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. We say this every window though. They face the same issues as us in terms of bringing players in. 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. True but they have a certain alure and have brought in quality (like Okonkwo, Lee, Mullin, Evans) as well as a few that are more shortterm and are looking for a payday but have pedigree (Fletcher, McLean). Regular Championship starters was pie in the sky stuff though but you get that on here too. Don't get me wrong. I wouldn't switch our situation or squad for theirs. I just think they'll bring in a name or two in Jan as they can afford to pay that bit extra. Sets a precedent though and you always end up paying a premium like United.

2 rwb that have been the talk of league 2 recently for different reasons That's worse than Boyle's tackle for me. Not as high but a lot more force in it and nowhere near the ball.

Wrexham poor and Newport deserved their win. Wrexham fans will point to the red (which was a red for me) but Newport were well on top prior to it anyway, which is probably part of the reason Boyle flew in with such a reckless, high, studs up challenge. Sure he got to the ball but it was dangerous.
Need to beat Donny next week to reopen that gap.

After the Luke Armstrong cock-up, maybe they’ve found someone in their offices capable of handling the transfer paperwork as well as telling the time ⏰

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😂😳 Could only hear Newport fans so it won't be that

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. What was he tweeting? I can't see anything particularly BBB on his feed though I haven't looked very hard.

Newport have only lost 2 of 13 since they beat us. Unlucky at those 2 defeats at Tranmere and Wrexham away as well When we lost we got the normal entitled …shouldn’t have lost to those useless w&&&&&& etc. Nearly every team is capable of beating you certainly away from home its not National league Thank goodness DC and our senior players know that. Twists and turns.

Twists and turns. I thought they were incredibly well drilled and did to us what we did to Notts County (even conceded an injury time goal to make it 2-1!). Really liked the look of Will Evans too, first season in football league and think he'll play above league two.

I see from the title of the EFL official highlights on YouTube that Wrexham have been ‘knocked off the top’

Todays loss was the first time barrow have lost at home this season Crewe also ended Mansfield’s unbeaten home record.
