Hippolyte definitely got ball and man and was always going to, it has been a few years since you could do that

Bishop saves us. Maybe these changes this give us some coherence in attack.

Suck on that ref you tuesday

Superb tackle from Hippolyte and gets a yellow card for it.

Starting where we left off last season

Newport have been the better side this half. Time for changes I think.

Stockley, Sess and Maycock about to come on

If this is the standard we have 24th written all over us. Awful

My first half thoughts: Sasu and Browne are getting pointless hoofs at their heads which they’re expected to battle against big league 2 centre backs, then it either needs to be feet or behind them. As it stands they both are making what looks like a pretty decent midfield and defensive set-up look toothless. Ryan Johnson is really concerning me: he looks unfit and slow.

I think we might need to sign another centre back this month.

Wonder why we decided to put the rail seating in the away end rather than the home section of that stand.

Norwich 3 Franchise Scum 0 is a good HT score

Arrived early to pick up season ticket but printing problems and some unavailable , of course mine included

Johnson looking decidedly rusty at times. If he weren't captain, sessegnon might replace him.

Wonder if we will see Stockley in the second half. And Maycock. Cannot believe Maycock didn't start.

I think that first half showed me that our staying in League One will depend on whether we can keep the goals down to one or nil to keep us in matches. Concede two and we will not get many points. Sasu had our best chance. 0-0 a fair result for the lack of quality in the final third.

Sasu not target man even i would beat him in the air

Apparently, according to my neighbour Pompey are taking 9000 to West ham

Sidwell, presumably already out on loan, scores for Eastleigh.

Something that I noticed - the ball went to Seddon in crossing position and he put a decent cross across but Sasu was stationary and rather than move as soon as Seddon was preparing to cross he waited until the cross has been played. A bit of gamble and he would have got to it ahead of the defender. Sasu needs to learn how to do that.

Newport always a good battling cup side.

Thanks Sandy. They must have some leeway then. Maybe they didn't want to risk having your whole family swelling the queue for the old-fashioned check just because your elderly prints didn't work. Presume once you're in Schengen you can move between countries?

This is what the season will be like so we might as well get used to it.

“He must have seen everything there is to see in football.”

Why are we just pumping high balls into the vague direction of our forwards. Shouldn't we be trying to play through inferior opposition?
