1912 Exiles

Oof, just when we thought we were out of the automatic promotion hunt, an away win has pulled us back in...

Ed was there and kept a short audio diary of events, along with a bonus input from Martyn. Then in the second half of the pod Ed welcomes Jamie and Ian (on an iffy wifi connection) to discuss what we need from the remaining five games, how far the 'Fizzy Three' can go in their careers, and how analytics are ruining the game (sorry Martyn).

As always, you can contact us via Twitter or Facebook with any thoughts - or to volunteer to come on a future episode!

We're here to temper any residual disappointment you might be feeling after that defeat to Exeter by picking out some positives from the game and looking at how County have developed under James Rowberry. Not only that, but we've done it with the help of analytical Big Brain and all-round good egg Martyn Phillips (AKA the Exiles Analysis Man). This episode is a real belter - lots of really good insights, including on:

• Haynes vs Lewis at left-wing-back
• Flynn's tactics vs Rowberry's
• Why we miss Ollie Cooper and CBR at the moment
• The importance of width and of winning the ball back high up the pitch

Oh, and for good measure Ed starts a beef with the Kingsway Shopping Centre...

With six games remaining, we'll be previewing the run-in soon. Until then, you can contact us via Twitter or Facebook with your thoughts - or to volunteer to come on a future episode!

Couldn't face the long trip to West Yorkshire? Don't worry, your 1912 Exiles have you covered. Our man on the northern beat, Ian Street, made the short hop over from Leeds and has sent through his matchday highlights. So pour yourself a nice cup of tea (or something stronger), sit back, and enjoy.

The panel will be back soon to look ahead to the run-in. In the meantime, you can contact us via Twitter or Facebook with your thoughts - or to volunteer to come on a future episode!

This pod is just a short note to direct you to the link below, where we preview Saturday's game at Bradford with our counterparts from the City Vent. We look ahead to the game, discuss how their season is going and talk Derek Adams and Mike Flynn.

After a big panel discussion last time, this episode is a stripped-back affair but covers a lot of ground as Ed navigates through County's hectic week.

First up, we get the verdict of Mark Vickery on Saturday's 2-0 win at Stevenage (you can find Mark's blog here - it's always a good read). Then Ed gives his on-the-whistle reaction to the long trek to Carlisle. And then, in the final segment, we get the view of Jack from the HUFC Chat podcast on what we can expect from Hartlepool's visit on Friday night.

In this episode, Rhys catches up with Ian, Jamie and friend of the pod Chris Kirwan from the South Wales Argus, as they muse over the last three home games which yielded 7 points out of 9.

Ian gets his abacus out to calculate how much Newport need for a top three finish, and we lay praise on the ever-influential Jake Cain in the fizzy midfield and the marauding Scot Bennett down the left wing. It was such a packed pod that James Waite's first goal for Newport is pretty far down the running order!

We also hear a host of listener comments, including a proxy beef from Ed about goal music.

Finally, as we're posting this on #InternationalWomensDay, we want to reiterate what we said recently on Twitter: we don't want the pod to just be middle-aged white blokes, so if there are any female fans or non-white fans who'd like to contribute, drop us a line via Twitter or Facebook. We don't bite!

Just a short one for you this week. Rhys and Ed give the 1-1 draw with Mansfield the once-over, praising County's resilience and tactical nous to come back against a good side to gain a point. We also continue the CBR love-in and speculate on Wayne Hatswell's future. We then look ahead to Saturday's match against Tranmere, with insights from away fan Ethan Hoijord on their season so far.

Finally, in Any Other Business, Ed mentions the “Exiles Here To Listen” work being done by the club on mental health - please follow the links if they are of help to you; don't suffer in silence.

Jamie is on hosting duties for this one, seamlessly linking some matchday clips from Ian, Oldham fan Si and Ed before bringing the panel together to pick the bones out of a scintillating 3-3 draw. Plenty of drama, plenty of things to work on, but plenty of positives too.

This week, Jamie and Rhys share stories of shivering on a cold winter's night, a lap around Brisbane Road, a first return to the Parade in two years and - well - dog mess.

 They also review the games they were respectively at: Leyton Orient away and Barrow at home, as well as taking a peek ahead to the next seven games for the Exiles, including two tricky aways and five consecutive homes.

In the first segment of the episode, we've got clips from regular contributor Ian as he recounts the tale of County's win at Scunthorpe in the latest instalment of a feature we've decided to call "Ian Street hits the north". Ian is then joined by Ed and Jamie to analyse the result in a bit more detail as we consider the importance of strength in depth and competition for places in the second half of the season.

We then zoom out a little in the final part of our trilogy looking at how football is run. Having set ourselves the essay question "How can County survive and thrive as a fan-owned club?", we discuss how the Trust model needs to grow, whether and how we can develop a stake in our own stadium, and the importance of having a 'whole-club ethos'. If you're not a Supporters Trust member, give your head a wobble before signing up here.

We'll be back in the week ahead with reaction to the game at Brisbane Road and the first match in front of fans at Rodney Parade so far in 2022.
