Has he had enough minutes to make a judgement ? Not to pass judgment on him as a player and he definitely deserves more time off the bench. I just don't think he's done enough for calls to start him. He's at least 2 steps behind Barry in development, arguably more. From FBref, aside from 11 mins for West Brom last season, these are his first senior minutes. I think it's right he's been left as an impact sub (providing he's not tearing it up in training). The only thing that gets torn in training is ligaments. Haven’t you been paying attention?

Love the scenes associated with a last minute winner, been ages since we’ve had one.
Overall though it’s another game we’ve made heavy weather of and I was slightly bemused by our approach to it. If we’re going to play Wootton then we want people getting to the byline and putting crosses in. However, Hippo and CLE were, understandably, wanting to cut back onto their stronger foot, which both slowed the pace of attacked down and meant they were crossing from deeper. That’s fine if you’ve got MSH and Rydel overlapping, but Bristow has only shown that in flashes and it isn’t Cass’ game really.
Either swap the two wide players over to provide the width you need to best feed Wootton, or play with Olafe who thrives off those threaded through balls that midfielders cutting inside can provide. We spent the first half with neither and it killed the momentum numerous times.
Would like a midfield diamond of Camps, Sarce, Hippo, Powell on Thursday, with Olafe and Madden ahead of them. If Powell isn’t fit then bring Bailey in.

Looking at the highlights i thought their keepers saves were not as good as when i saw them live. They were either reaction ones or we gave him a chance to make them. Seen Ben make better a number of times. He wasn,t by a long way doing a Gordon Banks impersonation. Even Paddy,s penelty was closer to him that i first thought.

Disagree with that, thought they were good in the ground but better on the highlights. The ability for a keeper to pull off quick reaction saves is surely what you want in a keeper? When Ben makes the same kind of saves we wax lyrical about them so only fair to give credit when an opposition keeper does the same. The penalty save I agree with, It was a weak penalty, I thought Paddy telegraphed it a bit. That said, I'd say most of the time a keeper chooses which way to dive before the kick is taken so there's a big element of luck involved. If the keeper had chosen to dive the other way we'd of all been saying how coolly Paddy slotted the pen away.

The penalty wasn't the hardest save he'll ever make but he still had to be there for it. Just a shame that he was involved in the time wasting from the 3rd minute onwards. I'm sure he's been directed to do that by the manager but never nice to see.

In the ground, I thought the keeper was reading Paddy's body position and waiting to decide which way to dive.
Thought he had an excellent game though, as did the Swindon keeper the game before - we were comfortable xG winners in both games, and things would have looked far more comfortable both games with an 'average' fourth tier keeper performance.

Just listened to this. Plenty of insight. - DC lined us up as a back 3, though admitted it was flexible with wanting an extra man defending out of possession - so if they leave 3 up, it will shift into a back 4. - Newport have the most high turnovers in the league, by far, which was the driver about going more direct and bypassing their strength. I'm surprised by the former, I thought they barely pressed us. DC thought we did that OK but turned the ball over far too easily (very much agree) and didn't build in the final third, trying to play killer passes too often. - Big moan about the directive to add more time on to combat time wasting at the start of the season, then the reverse being issued months later. No way to him that the first half should have only seen 2 mins of added time (agree!) and he says that teams have just adapted how they waste time - principally around goal kicks (as we saw...). - Croasdale a possibility for Crawley but MKD more likely. More towards April for Collar, Wright and Barry. Powell "feeling little bits" but no major ill effects for the squad from the game.

He doesn't strike them hard enough for me. He's a poor penalty taker imho he doesn't bode confidence. Just hit it hard in the corner. If you do that 99% of keepers aren't saving it.

I wouldn't say Sarcevic is a natural striker of the of the ball either (nor Wootton, Tanto, Collar). Paddy was adamant in his postmatch that he'd be stepping for the next one but I'd be curious how Powell is from the spot. Has Camps ever taken pens? He strikes a ball cleanly too.

Took two on the final day of last season. Scored one, keeper saved the other.

More towards April for Collar, Wright and Barry. Powell "feeling little bits" but no major ill effects for the squad from the game. Re the bolded bit, I didn't know this was a thing? If so it's a shame as it was the only way, without introducing a proper game clock that stops at the referees discretion so you only play 90 minutes (ala rugby), to adequately compensate for time wasting. The keeper in the first half spent at least 2 minutes just on faffing around with goal kicks, not to mention his shoulder 'injury' and various other instances from outfield players at throw ins. It seems they've become pretty lax with bookings for kicking the ball away now as well. And it's noticable that players simply run off with the ball then throw it back to the opposing team, which is essentially the same thing, and similarly goes unpunished.

Adding time on was better than doing nothing, but it’s not the answer, stopping the time wasting is dead simple, just requires backbone from the powers that be, if players are getting sent off left right and centre it’ll soon stop.

the save from Bailey was the pick of the bunch superb save
Not that in matters but the pen should been retaken number 23 was nearly level with Paddy as kick is taken, then he the one that clears the rebound away
