Got Newport playing ugly physical lump it forward football, bullied their way into the playoffs and failed to compete against better footballing sides. Then struggled big time when a few of the better players left.
I think the best time to change your manager is in the summer or Jan to have the rest of the season to asses the squad, and possibly when most players are out of contract giving them a fresh start.
That’s not true Sedgwick. Flynn completely changed Newport from an ugly side into a footballing one that was one of the best in the division. They were top of the league after around 10 games last season. Unfortunately, he had to completely adapt his plans because of the state of their pitch.
They were mightily ugly in both playoff games against us I seem to recall.
And were helped by a ref, whom we thankfully haven't had since then, in the first leg. And that ref in question is definitely one reason why we are were are now instead of maybe playing League games against sides like Sunderland, Ipswich, Wigan and Sheffield Wednesday,
