So many of us have followed this club through the highs and lows, up and down the country, singing and cheering and still turning up when nothing seems to be going our way.
We’ve all earned the right to enjoy the good times lately - long may they last.

What a player Seb Palmer-Houlden is. It’s so rare to have a loan player that’s so well developed, so strong and so physical. Losing him for 4 months was a huge blow and if you look at the table now, it’s crazy to imagine where we might be if he’d stayed fit.

The strikers are rightly getting a lot of praise at the minute but let’s take a second to shine some light on one of the most underrated players at the club, who’s been in superb form lately. We always miss his presence when he’s injured and he’s been outstanding in recent weeks.

I’m on such a buzz off that. Wrexham tried their dirty tactics but more than met their match today. Red card was a shocking challenge. Every player stood up to the challenge. We humbled a team with a much bigger budget than us. Superb.

Very few clubs in the EFL have the relationship between fans and manager like we do with Graham Coughlan. He’s become a proper County hero during his tenure and I hope he’s here for many years to come.
Win, lose or draw it’s Graham Coughlan’s Amber Army 🟠⚫️

Scot Bennett retiring at County absolutely should definitely happen. He’s a massive part of the club and has been for many years. Mickey Demetriou also should’ve retired here, but timing more than anything prevented that from happening.

Hearing a lot of people say Paul Mullin is Championship quality after scoring against Sheffield United and Coventry in the FA Cup this season. Using that logic this man must’ve been Champions League quality for his goals against Man City, Spurs and Leicester during our cup runs.

Graham Coughlan is working with the barest of bare bones. He’s a miracle worker getting 3 points tonight. Huge credit to Josh Seberry too, thrown in the deep end at right back let alone centre back. What a huge win.

Outstanding strike from Morris but a huge deal of praise needs to go to Zanzala for this. I’ve never been to sure where I stand on him given his injury troubles but he is so unpredictable that defenders hate playing against him. Hope he stays fit for the rest of the season.

I’m so pleased for Graham Coughlan that he’s going to get to write his own chapter in our brilliant cup history next weekend when Manchester United visit.

With every passing game I realise more and more just how special a manager Michael Flynn was for us, and appreciate how much he made us punch above our weight. We had the best times imaginable under him, and there is zero chance we’d have lost 10 in 12 games at Rodney Parade.

Upon request, the forward has been released from his contract to allow him to move home to Ireland and play out his career closer to family.

Since Graham Coughlan took over, we’ve only lost twice in the league. Before him, we couldn’t stop losing home or away. I don’t think he’s got anywhere near the credit he deserves. To put it simpler, pre GC 9 defeats in 14. Post GC, 2 defeats in 9. We’re so much more competitive.

Players deserve so much praise for the way they’ve bounced back from the Accrington game. Graham Coughlan also deserves huge credit for identifying where we lack in other areas, we make up for with a really solid midfield. Overloading the centre midfield is working a treat.

Exactly this ⬇️
Surely 1,000 fans who came yesterday got the buzz the rest of us did and will be back for Swindon at least? There’s so much potential in this club and I’m sure Huw Jenkins will be licking his lips at the prospect of helping us realise that potential.
Yesterday just shows the potential we have as a club. Brilliant to see a full house and one of the best atmospheres I’ve witnessed over Rodney Parade, helped by an excellent performance. Hopefully a few who were there but don’t come regularly will be coming back now

Lot of people complaining that Sunday will be full of people who don’t go often / at all. I mean, our average attendance is 4k, and Sunday will be 9k, so I’m not sure what people are expecting the extra 5k to be? There’s not 5k diehard fans out there that have missed out.

There’s a lot of narrative currently about the future of Graham Coughlan, which is natural given the recent run. However, I’m firmly Coughlan in - he gets the club and has navigated having one of the lowest budgets in the EFL extremely well. That said, we can’t end on 8 losses.

Will Evans and Adam Lewis rightly got a lot of the plaudits but here are some others I think deserve praise.

Townsend - so assured
McLoughlin - handled Patrick well and lovely assist

Fair play to Thomas Frank too. Came across well in his persona tonight. I noticed he personally went and shook hands with every member of our staff before the game. Only a small thing but I can imagine quite a few PL managers would be far too arrogant for that.

Ben White, Antoine Semenyo, Scott Twine, Finn Azaz. Newport County is clearly a great place to develop young talent. Can see Seb Palmer-Houlden going on to have a very decent EFL career too.
Sure, not everyone has been a success but they’ve tended to have poor careers after us.
Middlesbrough have finalised a £2.5m deal to sign Finn Azaz from

In terms of technical ability, his movement and reading of the game, Aaron Wildig is one of the best players I’ve watched in a County shirt. He’s so far ahead of others players on the pitch it’s genuinely a joy to watch him. I’d be prioritising tying him down for another 2 years.

It’s impossible to predict how this season will go until the transfer window is over and we can see the quality of our new recruits but I’ll tell you one thing - I’d be a lot more worried about this coming season if it wasn’t for these two. Pure class.

Can’t fault a single player tonight. James Waite, Harry Charsley, Scot Bennett and Will Evans were all superb. And I know I’ve said before how much I rate him but to have a player with the ability of Aaron Wildig in the situation we’re in is a blessing.

Worth remembering that this Brentford side tonight are better than the Saints side that put eight past us a couple of years back. We had some great upsets down the years but it shouldn’t ever be expected, the gulf in quality is massive. Let’s just enjoy tonight for what it is.

Worth remembering Josh Sheehan’s struggles after signing permanently (although that was down to long term injuries, Bowen has had a torrid time the past year or so too). I’d love nothing more than him to prove us wrong and have a big season.

I think it’s imperative this season more than any recently that we start quickly and get as many points as possible. No time for a slow start this year. Some tricky games to come in August but wouldn’t 3 points tomorrow be a lovely way of easing our worries? Up the County

This season can be summarised into 4 parts. Two periods where we’ve more or less had a full squad - at the start of the season and after Christmas, where we’ve been in playoff form. And the two periods that followed that where we’ve been decimated by injuries and been very poor.

Emailed around 50 local businesses details of the Players Donation Fundraiser today. No guarantees it’ll lead to anything but we all have to try do our bit for the club this season. The club is a huge part of the community and that goes hand in hand with local businesses.

Brilliant mentality this from Omar Bogle and one that will hopefully ensure he keeps on bagging well into next season. FYI I think he had a really tough job during that goalless run given he had more or less zero support. Replacing Kav and McNeill will be a priority this summer.
County's goal king Omar on going from 'most hated to most loved'.
Needs a hat-trick on final day to hit 20 for the season but it's another milestone that he's miffed to have missed...

That was really bad. Lacked effort, urgency, passion, creativity. You name it, we lacked it. We used 5 strikers over the course of the game and not one of them did anything.

I really rate this. This could be a summer of glorious rebuild if we play it right. We’re in a position of strength compared to this time last year. Omar Bogle will be a huge loss on and off the pitch, but that doesn’t mean he can’t be replaced.

Given today was a scrappy 1-0 home win that we saw plenty of during Michael Flynn’s spell as manager, I decided to make an all time best XI of players from the Flynn era.
Would you make any changes?
Leaving Bennett out was near enough impossible but the others just edged it.
