Elliot Myles, 20, plays like he has been here for years — 7.61
A mark of 7.61 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 20-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Jordan Wright puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Newport County, and it is not being withdrawn.

Pedro Delvalle 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.

Anthony Glennon 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.

Nobody on the pitch touched Nathaniel Clyne
7.68, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Newport County had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.
The dugout25 Jan 2027
The manager has not finished forgetting Andy Cannon's mistake
Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

The form table has caught Owen Dale
Somebody else has been better, the manager has said so with a team sheet, and there is no argument to be had. He will get the shirt back the only way it can be got back.
Match23 Jan 2027
Newport County share the spoils with Accrington Stanley
A 1‑1 draw with Accrington Stanley leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

Owen Dale beats them one at a time
Successful dribbles: 14. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.
