:efl: EFL Cup - :newportcountyafc: Newport County v Southampton :saints:

:newportcountyafc: v :saints:

And quickly into EFL Cup action in deepest, darkest South Wales, by the River Usk…

  • :saints: buoyant, after their point against the mancs, show their fans and :newportcountyafc: how to play football. A stroll in the Park for :saints: and, nor importantly, a win
  • Usual :saints: showing in the EFL Cup see them not turn up, a loss follows
  • Ralph rings the changes and :saints: struggle, Long to score the winner in Extra time.
  • Drawn game, :saints: to win on penalties
  • Drawn game, :newportcountyafc: to win on penalties.

Moved to the Wednesday night

FYI, no extra time. Straight to pens. Seems to rule out one option.

I guess the other 2 new signings will get game time along with Mo

My prediction is that we’ll win somewhat unconvincingly but I’m not crazy enough to think that Shlong will score the winner.

One would hope…

We could really do with a player called Hope.

Ideally a big CB with a Christian name of Knough

As we have no other thread Bournemouth are losing 3-0 to Norwich at halftime

Team will be interesting. I’ll stick my neck out with a guess:

Forster
KWP Bednarek Stephens Perraud (sub Small)
JWP Diallo
Redmond Elyounoussi
Tella Armstrong A/Adams (sub Broja)

Had expected Dynel to get game time tbh at least on the bench but he played for the B Team Monday night
He has to get 11 players on the pitch though @Shroppie not 12 mate even though it is a mickey mouse Cup game

No Caleb Watts on Monday so I reckon he will get some minutes.

It’s only 11. Note the / between Adams and Armstrong.

Saints line-up confirmed :innocent:

Starting XI: Forster, Walker-Peters, Stephens, Bednarek, Valery, Diallo, Ward-Prowse [c], Redmond, Tella, Broja, Elyounoussi.

Subs: Lewis, Perraud, Salisu, Romeu, Walcott, Long, Obafemi.

Nearly right. Just Valery and Broja.

Totally resting quite a few, including Adams and Armstrong.

Still a bit worrying that Stretch is nowhere to be seen…
