Should have said four points off top as Cambridge scored a late winner.
This could be crucial in home games especially against teams who come to defend a lot like TuesdayIt was noticeable today that Ray made a difference when we played out from the back. It is great having two centre halves who are comfortable on the ball.
I suspect so are Newport. Some talk of them playing their remaining home games away from Rodney Parade.I have just seen Newport's 'pitch' on the Quest highlights. Let's just say I am glad the game on Tuesday night is being played at Prenton Park........
He was sidelined by MM so maybe a new Manager has renewed his enthusiasm. He was captain at Crewe so he must have something going for him. In looking back I discovered that he was the first player to make his club debut in a cup final! Crewe v Southend 2013!the change with Ray is amazing again the work that has gone into him is great so happy for the guy as it seemed he was no good but is proving people wrong and I for one think it is great and again well done to the coaches and staff,and the players
I think the problem was, as Ian suggests, he had inexperienced players alongside him in Nelson and Monthe, both of whom were also very poor last season, and starting his Rovers career at a higher level probably did not help either. None of that trio looked good enough for League One last season but Ray seemed to be singled out for criticism.Ray was a disappointment last season, he was given a number of chances by Mellon early on, but failed to nail his place down. The Crewe fans reckoned he’d usually make one bad mistake a game. Think the fact he has a fairly laid-back playing style compared to say Nelson, who’ll put his body on the line, didn’t help endear him to fans. He’s done well when given opportunities this season, nothing spectacular, just calm, steady performances and has cut out the errors.
