How long a
County fan?
Followed them since I was a boy, but only with a passion for
about 7yrs.
Why County?
My home town (born and bred).
Last season
must have been pretty special for County fans with the club making a return to
the Football League after a 25 year absence?
Priceless. A testament not only to the current management and
playing staff, but also to the army of volunteers and die hard supporters that
kept the dream alive.
How has
County’s start to this season been?
Fab. The players have confidence in their own ability as well
as that of their team mates. They trust each other and it shows out on the pitch
where the football is a joy to watch. Added to that, when the Gaffer gets them
going, they fear nobody.
What sort of style and tactics can we expect to see from
Newport?
Your pitch having a perfect surface will suit us down to the
ground as we are a very good footballing side. The squad is fitter than I have
ever seen before. We work really hard when we have the ball but even harder when
we don't, so warn your lads, they're not going to get much time to dwell on the
ball.
How many
fans are expected to travel to the game and how does that compare to a normal
away fixture?
We're expecting approx 1300. Normally between 300-500
depending on distance to travel / day of the week.
Thoughts on
County defender and former Baggie Tony James?
Gentleman / Inspiration to younger players / Consistent /
Calm under pressure / True professional
Player to
Watch?
Defence: Andy Sandell / Midfield: Adam Chapman / Striker:
Christian Jolly
Prediction
for County’s season, can you achieve successive promotions?
It wasn't that long ago that we had a strong 11, but were
struggling to maintain form if we needed to bring someone else off the bench.
This year I believe we have the strength in depth to continually produce quality
football even if we get plagued with a host of injuries. The first team are kept
on their toes knowing there are quality players waiting to step into their boots
and the Gaffer would have no hesitation in replacing someone if they were not
pulling their weight. I believe there are 3 automatic promotions plus 1 from the
playoffs, so yes, I think we are in with a great chance of finishing in the top
7 and fingers crossed - who knows.
Prediction
for the game?
We will give a very good account of ourselves! ha ha. #amberarmy
