Player ratings7 Sep 2026
Matt Smith runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 25. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Newport County turn down PSIM for Ged Garner
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.
Squad7 Sep 2026
François-Joseph Sollacaro in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Newport County this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Max Thompson gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.
Match5 Sep 2026
Harrogate Town take the points off Newport County
Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.
Market7 Sep 2026
Still no ink between Newport County and Aden Baldwin
“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Newport County, another week without a signature from Aden Baldwin.
