There were a lot of very good individual moments last night on and off the ball, but this is where @NewportCounty controlled the game for me, moments like these.

Think we called this in Pt1 of our Christmas Special with @c_kirwan and @ExilesAnalysis. Time to roll the dice and have another go in the loan market, let’s hope we can come up with another gem or two.

(Prior to the sending off) @AFCWimbledon have a clear route toward goal, no secrets here👇
I'm curious about the positions of Waite & Moriah-Welsh in relation to the front two (Evans & Zanzala), there is a clear structure here, but very little success in the final third today.

Its no real surprise that we have one of the lowest open play xG in @SkyBetLeagueTwo
Cross locations from the right are suboptimal, continuously hitting early crosses.

Wait what! I took my daughter to bed at 2 - 0 with no fear of missing anything ... and now its 2 - 2 😶‍🌫️

Are @Mickeyd_09 hand-corners one the most dangerous set-piece deliveries in the top 5 English tiers?
Most definitely 🚀

Omar should have gone to jail for this nutmeg 🥜

@RichCounty27 😂 I dont sorry mate, I wish I had that data!

[Martyn Phillips @MartynPhillips1]

What I repeatedly saw from @StockportCounty Saturday:
CMs stretch our CMs VERY wide.
Wide CBs hug touchline (Hussey provides cross 👀)
Madden drops deep to link, drags PF and CMs infield.
Creates space for Sarcevic & Collar.
Overload created out wide.
STs, CMs, WBs, ALL in box 👏

[Martyn Phillips @MartynPhillips1]

Thoroughly impressed with @StockportCounty today, decent football & were able to adapt throughout the game.
Less impressed by Newport, our central midfielders must be frustrated getting bypassed continuously in favour of this direct game. Great to see @aaronjameslewis start &⚽

[Martyn Phillips @MartynPhillips1]

I haven't watched much @SwansOfficial lately, but this stuck in my mind. Synchronized movement to try and drag the wide center backs out when Darling has the ball, to create a 1v1 and allow space in behind. The defenders didn't bite 1st time but it stuck in my mind. I liked it 🤷‍♂️

[Martyn Phillips @MartynPhillips1]

@BennettScot727 put in a brilliant shift yesterday. On the ball, off the ball, in transition, he was able to affect the game.
Looking very disciplined in a double pivot with @nmoriahwelsh , good distances, working in tandem, going strong 💪

[Martyn Phillips @MartynPhillips1]

@NewportCounty didn't see much of the ball today, but the possession they did have was in Northampton's half. The "3-4-2" is operating a bit like a 3-4-3, Evans and Bogle are split wide, and Waite is the Raumdeuter.

This, all day long 👇👇👇

Tough times make strong people.The lads are working there b***s off each week to rectify this. As much as it’s hard to see,they need support not criticism in such a tough place. This club has been built on passion let’s not lose that and keep believing, these players deserve that

[Martyn Phillips @MartynPhillips1]

A high intensity first 30 mins saw @NewportCounty impose themselves on Orient out of possession.
Going man for man in high areas and dictating the direction of play from restarts. Creating situations, overloading wide areas, and covering ground efficiently. 😍

The centrality of those shots and distance to goal indicate why they should not be underestimated, they impose themselves on teams in the final third, working high quality chances, exploiting teams by pressing them high and being able to to create on the counter.
