FA Cup 5th Round Draw 2019 - Newport (a)

[mcfcmatt]

Newport seem to manage ok

Maybe because they are used to playing on a Farmers field?

Totally not looking forward to this game. I fear another Halifax on the horizon with that pitch.

Yes the pitch resembles Halifax but we do have a marginally better squad now, as great a player as Bobby Shinton was he'd struggle to get on our bench nowadays...

Didn’t think they had enough for a forum a twosome at a push

Can’t see that happening I just don’t want any injuries to our players. I hope the ref whoever it is clamps down on bad tackles early on

Loads of our players grew up playing on fields with about three blades of grass in South America

Let’s stop with the excuses, reminds me of the Shrewsbury and Halifax draws :) Get the job done and move on

I'd be playing the likes of Muric, Bolton, Sandler, Garcia, Zinchenko, Delph, Foden etc, in this one. It's not worth risking first team players on that pitch imo.

How many tickets will we get?

Didn't see 1 bad tackle tonight, Newport were a credit.
