Argus on County

The South Wales Argus - THE place for Newport County AFC coverage

[Chris Kirwan @c_kirwan]

Was certainly a challenge covering two pro clubs solo after bosses made Covid cuts, but also a pleasure thanks to so many good people.

Not sure on the Argus' plan is for sport (& coverage was already going to be cut).

They'll have some sort of presence but not from me. 👋

2/2

Today is my last day on @argussport (although I'll be doing Japan v Wales off TV tomorrow).

Thanks for those who have read my stuff on Dragons, County, Gwent rugby & other stuff from the patch.

Hopefully I’ve given you an entertaining few minutes every day.

(1/2).

@Chris13828347 Agree that another striker is needed plus a bit more guile in attacking midfield.

Jury still out on Greaves but if he can rack up mins then I do think he is a player with the potential to sniff out chances.

What I'd give for Bogle back, a class act that so many moaned about!

[Argus on County @argusoncounty]

Aaron Wildig suffered a season-ending injury last November and still finished on the podium of County's goal scorers.

More goal threats needed in the coming season - and hopefully a double-figure forward to go along with others chipping in.

New County boss David Hughes has some key demands, whatever formation he goes with...

"The chairman has been proactive and we still are, let’s see what happens over the coming weeks."

County manager David Hughes still looking to add to his squad after a strong start to the transfer window. ⤵️

@Chris13828347 He said a little bit but sadly I'm not on sport duty today so you'll have to wait a few days for that story I'm afraid. Apologies!

New County boss Hughes' verdict on the start of pre-season and the 1-1 draw at Pontypridd...

FT: 1-1, not that it really matters.

[Argus on County @argusoncounty]

59: 1-1. Oh dear.

Carney lets a simple back pass go under his foot, Enckelman style.

Think it might be Sanca who gets the OG.

[Argus on County @argusoncounty]

49: 1-0 County.

Tom Davies. Garner and Alexander-Walker link up down right.

Falls to Davies who lashes it in. A proper ‘lashes’ in.

[Argus on County @argusoncounty]

@UT_County Very first friendly.

[Argus on County @argusoncounty]

Start of the David Hughes era in Treforest.

Ponty 0 County 0 at HT.

Entire new XI coming for the second half.

Brennan, CBR, Patten, Tzanev don’t look to be involved.

[Argus on County @argusoncounty]

County confirm that influential Shane McLoughlin has left the club.

He had been offered a one-year contract extension.

[Argus on County @argusoncounty]

There are some big spenders in League Two and the National League.

That isn't a bad thing for County if they can get their ID and development right...

"He has great energy, and a great ability to threaten space in behind."

County make Cardiff forward Reindorf their fifth summer signing.

The loanee had been linked with the Exiles in January but ended up at Bristol Rovers.

Joins CBR and Garner up top.

"This is a different chapter now and it's time to kick on."

Rai on his move to Aldershot, where he will have large backing from the Nepalese community. 🇳🇵

[Argus on County @argusoncounty]

Kiban Rai will play in the National League after his County departure.

Fingers crossed he can get the regular action to fulfil his potential.
