Hope we get a couple more before 60 minutes so Ballard and Edwards can get some decent game time.

Just got in, I swear if he starts Adams tonight and not on Saturday...

I'm sure he can manage 30 minutes last Saturday, and maybe an hour tonight before starting on Saturday. He's an elite athlete FFS.

Glad he started though, good for match fitness and to get some more minutes in the legs. 

If we can race to a 3-0 lead by say 60 minutes then get Aribo and Djenepo on for Adams and Stu it would be ideal.

The thinking must surely be that Che didn’t train most of last week so needs the run out.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Armstrong misses a sitter.  Again.

[Hamilton Saint]

Cambridge with a chance. Corner for them.

Managing is one thing, being at the absolute peak of fitness is quite another. He’s on the pitch with 21 other elite athletes, so any fitness issue puts him at a disadvantage.

Sounds like the youngster Payne is having a great game.  Call up to senior team on the cards - why not?

Slightly different level than the Prem but glad to hear he's impressing.

To be fair he has a very hard act to follow in Dave the legend

Anyone got a link to the radio commentary?

Is there really no streams at all?

Have we dominated or is it fairly even aside from the goal?

Cambridge had some decent chances near the end of the half but ball was in their half for most of it

No room for complacency in these sort of games - hopefully we'll step up in the second half.

Pacing themselves. It’s hot and muggy in Cambridge. Most of the action in the Cambridge half.

You could say that for all the youngsters we've been bringing in from elsewhere surely?  If he can follow the gaffers instructions and put in a good performance, who knows?

Payne had space and time to set up a picnic lunch there.

COYS!

"Wake-up call"  for Saints, Adam and Joe agree.

[Bad Wolf]

2-0 Adams again

[Sfcphilc]

2-0

[Saint_clark]

4 goals in 4 games for Che so far. On course for a 40+ goal season depending how far we go in the cups. 

[Suhari]

Adams has really found his scoring boots this season.

[verlaine1979]

Scuffed it, apparently

[Sunglasses Ron]

4 in 2 for Che 👊🏻

[Saint Fan CaM]

Che does it again - has he read the "How to be a prolific striker" training book? lol

[Bad Wolf]

Newport equalise again 2-2!

As has been said - Whispering Dave is a hard act to follow - Jo his finding his feet if you’re a regular listener you will probably be use to him once he’s bedded in. He does know some stuff we maybe don’t need to know all of it.

on Saturday before Maddison’s goal, he said twice that “I don’t like the look of our wall” and that was from wherever he was sitting up in the stand.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Oh dear, we could be really miles ahead if not for really poor finishing - Romeu missing a sitter now.

[saint lard]

Get Che off now. 
Mara on please. 

[Baird of the land]

Is it Ballard time soon?

[Sfcphilc]

I'd be thinking about taking off Adams and giving Ballard a run out.

Valery shoots. Tipped behind for a corner.

Tessem will be fine. He's sitting next to Big Adam for hours on end travelling the length and breadth of this country. After a few months of that he'll be a broadcasting expert. 

 

I like him.
