Excerpt below from our latest pod (Ep174) where Morecambe fan and commentator Dave Salmon gives us an insight of what we can expect from tonight's visitors...



Full episode available here: https://shows.acast.com/1912exiles (but you knew that already, didn't you).

In terms of predictions, we've put in two good shifts against table-topping sides. Even though we came away with nothing, the same levels tonight should see us scrape a win. 3-2 to the County, a nailbiter under the lights.

The referee will be Scott Simpson who refereed our game against Charlton in August. He has issued 9 red and 114 yellow cards in 23 games this season.

They say bad refereeing decisions balance themselves out over a season. After the last two games, I’m expecting something extraordinary in our favour tonight. Maybe a penalty to us for a Morecambe foul in our half or three points for putting the ball over the bar.

Team for Morecambe:-

Newport County: Townsend, Jameson, Bennett (C), Baker, Lewis, Payne, Wildig, Morris, Jephcott, Evans, Charsley.


Substitutes: Maxted, Drysdale, Waite, Bright, Zanzala, Bondswell, Palmer-Houlden.

2 down - playoff cheats, named after a prawn (9)

At this stage of his career, is it time Gwion Edwards came nearer home and signed for us? His contract is up with Morecambe at the end of the season.

Lampeter boy with THE Welshest name ever 'Gwion Dafydd Rhys Edwards' - looked really good and at 31 still has a few years left in him.

Overall a great game with frustration, excellence and hilarity will help us cling on to the feint hope of a play off place anyway.

Edwards had a bad injury and was a free agent earlier this season so,we had our chance to sign him then.
