Theres actually 3 rugby teams, must be a nightmare, but plenty of income, normally. Their away end hospitality bar area is excellent they have used their income from big FA Cup games wisely

Swearing from a muppet

Newport, Newport Gewnt dragons and Cardiff Blues all play rugby here currently, or am I talking to myself!,
I’ll take 1-1 after that half.

Funny first half. Well behind for the first half hour, then get an equaliser that we probably didn't deserve, but from then on, it has been quite equal. More of this please.

We were right in the mix after our goal, and should hopefully come out full of confidence. Cooney on after half time for me. COYS.

We need to be more aware. At times play seems to pass us by. Stay awake from the off!!

[dannymorc1]

Let's get in front before Kev comes on!

I was thinking the same thing. Ideally be 1-3 so that his inevitable goal is only a consolation!

We're looking very leggy, hope we make subs today.

Definitely.

[dannymorc1]

We have improved, but a change now may just make the difference. Please Derek.

[tim-sanchez]

Obviously Derek knows the condition of the players better than us, but there's been very little rotation and another match with no subs after 75 minutes. No surprise some players look dead on their feet

[Born again Bill]

Tired legs on the pitch and still no subs , don't get it !!!

[tim-sanchez]

80 minutes ticks by and no subs, can't be surprised we've got players like Stockton and Wildig picking up muscle injuries, they've played nearly every minute

[dannymorc1]

Why do we have subs? Doesn't Derek have any faith in them?

[tim-sanchez]

At least Kev didn't take the penalty, can't help but feel Derek got it wrong today with the subs

[Keith]

Shame, I thought we were looking good for a draw. I'd rather he hadn't even tried for the tackle, given that he was already booked.

[tim-sanchez]

Barrow looked better with 10 men so you never know...

[dannymorc1]

Tired players, stretched defence, penalty. Subs, none. Surely he can't go another game without subs.

id have preferred Cooney to have replaced Hendrie on a yellow at H/T

[Born again Bill]

2 subs , 89 mins, clueless subbing

[tim-sanchez]

Well they're top of the league so I wasn't expecting much, first time our players have a week off for a while so hopefully we can do a bit better next week.

[dannymorc1]

Disappointed. The game was crying out for a change but it came far to late. I don't blame the players.
I could say more, but I'll bite my tongue.

[Screenster]

Was always going to be difficult today, but sickening how we lost it. Not too impressed with the lack of subs!

In fairness we have played a lot of difficult teams, we're only outside the playoffs because of a combination of stupid mistakes and bad luck.

[Slanester]

Disappointing result, but a respectable performance against a very good side. As other posts, looked like we really needed subs, to at least freshen us up.
