Far away across the field
Can't see one.
Playing in a ploughed field should be interesting.
3 points would be excellent.

Big game and a chance to put a dent in a promotion rival. This is the tightest L2 I've ever known in terms of the table. No runaway leaders and 2 wins on the bounce will see us soar into the autos whereas 2 losses will likely see us drop well out of the play offs. A crucial stage of the season and we need to hang in there. I'm still hopeful for the title. ;)

Newport not been on a great run since a load of their loan players left in January so I’m hoping we can get a win though it will probably be scrappy.
To be honest still not convinced this game will be on so I’ll be waiting until 18:59 to buy my iFollow pass!!

A lot of predictions on their forum saying this will be either a draw or a win for us. Can't see this game being in any doubt judging by the forecast tbh. Hopefully this will turn out to be the case. Can see a dull, unedifying spectacle as a football match tonight with getting the job done the primary task at hand above all else. I think it will be a 1-1 draw though and we'll need to defend a lot better than we did in the Bradford game.

If we can a win tonight then brilliant, but a draw and give hapless Grimsby a battering on Saturday and it will be a great week.

The only prediction I'm making is that the game will be on! Will the break have done us good? Not so sure, but we have two wins on the bounce.

Never done this before
Rain looks to be easing off in South Wales from mid afternoon onwards so I think it will go ahead.

Every time we get close to the autos we slip back. However, Newport are no great shakes at the moment so I predict a 1-0 or 2-1 to the lads.

Presumably Robbie Willmott wont be able to play against his parent club? If yes this seriously weakens our options
