Is it an age thing? Someone gave me a couple of ‘Goal’ magazines from the late 60s/early 70s recently and I could name the players in team photos without checking quite easily, nowadays, I wouldn’t have a prayer.Quote:

0-0 half time, City having to do a lot of defending it seems.
City win on pens 3-0

Done an ok job at least for me, pathway through to the first team seems at it's best in a long time. Surely he has to be given some credit in that as that would be his main objective.
It's ridiculous. In the last couple of weeks they've beaten Barry, Yeovil and Ammanford (1st teams, not U21s), despite Lawlor, Kpakio, Giles, Spiers, Mafico, Wigley and Nyakuhwa being with the first team and Reindorf with Newport. Purse needs to be sacked though 🤦*♂️Quote:

At a time when there's little doubt we have more potential first team players coming through the ranks then I can remember, then all the hate aimed at Purse seems personal.
At the SLO meeting on Wednesday our new Head Coach specifically commented on how pleasantly surprised he was at the high standard of U21 players we have on top of those that have already made it to first team squad level.Quote:

Huge away following, upwards of maybe 20, 30 city fans I reckon.
The pitch invasion when we won the pens was a bit OTT I thought but gotta take these small victories.
Exactly, Lennon Peake is now with Ebbsfleet United in the 6th tier of English footballQuote:

Is anyone able to watch the Ammanford match highlights on the club site?Quote:

If I press the subscribe now option it brings up the monthly or annual audio pass options. I bought the annual audio pass last week - but that is irrelevant to watching a brief video clip on the club site.
