Anyone who spends 8 hours travelling 440 miles on a round trip to Wales to watch the shit we endured on Saturday needs their head testing.

It's all about the day out you mug Imagine the clout you can get saying you wasted you weekend, money and effort to go some shithole in Wales for 2 hours, all for some awful League 2 football.

Did the trip last year, never again. Went to Cardiff with CTC 73 in the 90s, drank in Newport before the game - one of the grimmest places I've ever been.

In general terms Cardiff hate Swansea and vice versa, however Newport being fucking weird and to be avoided at all costs is something that they agree on.

www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/sport/sportlatest/23805768.bantams-boss-mark-hughes-plays-valley-parade-boos/Notice how many times he says 'expectation', like he's trying to shift the blame. He must think we're a load of inbred morons. While there is some expectation to win, especially as we're in L2 and playing some utter shite (like Harroagte who hadn't scored in open play) we know it's not happening every game but at least want to see us attacking and have a bit of a go at least. We've set the bar so low a few corners at the start of the second half on Saturday was seen as a good performance by some But nah, Hughes is type of boring bastard who defends a corner with every player in the box when we're chasing a game.

“He must think we’re a bunch of inbred morons” Have you seen our fans? Speak for yourself Leon 👍 I notice Huw Jenkins is finalising a takeover of Newport. £500K, and they had other offers... and we'll be forever stuck with Rupp.

Only one I saw at Cedar Court today was Harry Lewis, and a beardy bloke who I presume was on the staff.

Who’d have thought it?? Set up to play forwards, play with intensity, and look what happens. Only taken till now to figure it out

Make the most of it. A game or two of this to ease the pressure, and then he'll fix things back to how we were.

Fingers crossed that's the floodgates open for Andy and that we don't cripple him again. Really good feeling to get a 4-1. Not often we absolutely tonk somebody.

One thing it showed today is how much, again, we're reliant on Andy Cook when he's not there a la the last few games. Take him out and instantly we're putrid at scoring goals
And for Hughes, just let them fucking play. You aren't getting out of this league with repetitive, negative build up play. But I fear he's found a set up that works away and will revert to as you were for the home games.

First half I thought we went for it far more than usual. Most of the time we were looking to get forward and get at them and, while it wasn’t exactly wave after wave of attacks, Newport couldn’t handle it. Their centre back helped us out immensely by having one of the worst games I can remember seeing an opposition player have but the halftime score line was on us and our willingness to attack them and let them worry about us.
Second half faded a bit and we looked to revert to type a bit but it was game over by then.
Hughes can’t go back to his shitty idea of being a League Two Pep after this surely but I’m worried he might. Get at the opposition and keep getting at them; players at this level can’t handle it.
