Something definitely happened after the game, like a few others on here I counted at least 10 police cars flying down the A33 and then up in the direction of the away end about 5mins after the final whistle, still no idea what was occurring.
As for the game itself, Pog looked a different class at times, held the ball up extremely well, some neat little touches to play in others, and his finish was well calculated, my MOTM.
Nice to see Blackman looking so hungry, that's a cracker scored against Swansea, a decent performance at Wigan where he could have had another corker of a goal, then showed great pace and determination to score last night when his performance certainly warranted a goal. Long may his good form continue.
Agree with others that Hector and Obita struggled out of their natural positions, but the work-rate was there and they moved well across, up and down the field together to keep Newport at bay.
Finally, as a team we look a lot more comfortable on the ball so far this season, playing some neat stuff at times and stringing some meaningful possession together. That said we also don't look afraid to switch it up and go more direct when the opportunity presents itself, and if we can start controlling games and dictating when these 'moments' occur we'll be a lot closer to what Adkins has no doubt been trying to achieve from the off.
