Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 8 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

A brace, and Tyler Walton takes the afternoon — 8.27
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Tyler Walton provided it, and the 8.27 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Matthew Atkinson signs on for the long haul
Newport County moved before anybody else could: a new deal for Matthew Atkinson, agreed quietly and announced loudly. Boards extend managers for many reasons; the good one is the one this looks like.

Newport County had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Tottenham, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Words at Newport County training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Charlie Goode is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Tyler Walton the difference as Newport County beat Fleetwood Town
