I was worried Wheeler might get concussion, so often was this tactic deployed....Apart from Woody hitting long balls to Wheeler.
Wheeler tended to flick the ball on rather than meeting it full force with his forehead. Not sure if that's better or worse for the long term, but presumably less of an immediate concussion risk.I was worried Wheeler might get concussion, so often was this tactic deployed....
That also looked like a handball from their player. Added to that, he would have scored off Williams cross had the defender not done so for him.Ben's movement and positioning in the build-up to the first goal was spot-on and if the defender hadn't intervened there is every chance we'd be talking about what a well-taken poacher's goal Ben had scored.
Jeeez. He’s a top bloke and worked hard but let’s face it, he was never going to be a regular scorer plus he seemed to pick up number of injuries whilst here. And Amond has a far far better goal scoring record over his career.Wouldn't have minded him here on a 1 year deal. Pretty quick for a tall guy and seemed liked in the dressing room. Had double the goals per game (0.49) than Amond too (0.25)...........
Maybe Fisher will prove most of us wrong and outscore Amond this season but it certainly feels like a strange bit of business by Newport and that we’ve got much the better player.He'll play as many matches for them as us I guess, good luck to him, wasn't the worse, but Amond such an upgrade.
