I was about to comment on that! Considering they play rugby there, it looks great!

Looks like they have hosted a tractor pulling event on ours !

Great save Burgoyne after 1 min 30 sec!!!

[Redalert1970]

1 0 to Newport

They have started so much better than us I'm afraid

[Born again Bill]

Too easy

[Keith]

FFS! Decent save but spilled into the feet of the attacker. I reckon Burgoyne should have done better, although no help from the defence.

My 'clean sheet' prediction didn't last long.

[Redalert1970]

Newport had 3 shots on target in 1st 8 minutes

[Angler1]

Lousy goalkeeping. So annoying got to get a run of wins going..

[Keith]

Songo'o hit the crossbar!

[Keith]

FFS! Hope hit the crossbar now! Not sure how he did that, it looked easier to score.

[Billy bodger]

Hopefully they sit back a bit now they have taken an early lead, disappointing start

[Keith]

Didn't realise it was raining so hard! Close up of floodlight showing it is hammering it down, so probably a bit slippery.

[Keith]

Tutonda furious at being given a yellow card... ...absolutely, 100% a yellow!

He needs to be careful, he must be close to a suspension?

[Keith]

How is that not a penalty? Defender jumps straight into the back of the Morecambe player, nowhere near the ball. Anywhere else on the pitch, it's a free-kick, so why not then?

[Redalert1970]

Stats are pretty even but the only one that counts is Newport 1 Morecambe 0 ht

Newport currently 10 points clear of drop so are safe
Lot of work to do 2nd half as we are currently back in the brown stuff

[redrobo]

When was the last time we had over 50% possession at half time?

[Andy D]

not bad, had them on the ropes for a large part of that half.

Lewis for Tutonda who’s now on a yellow card, we dont want to be playing with ten men, especially when we have a chance of climbing out of the drop zone .

[Keith]

Good save from Dackers header!

[Keith]

Agghhhh... Cooke should have at least hit the target, but fired wide.

[Andy D]

id swap Edwards for Dakkers for the last 30mins

[Keith]

Hope>Edwards

Edwards first touch is to hit a shot over the bar.

[Redalert1970]

Tutonda as played 55 games for Morecambe

21 yellow cards

[Billy bodger]

Playing well but we need shots on target, 57th min 12 shots 2 on target. 30 mins to go, come on.
