Tambeson Eyong's loan finishes. Won't really miss him.

Board is still delighted due to our position, but they're upset about the asskicking we took in the FA Cup. Profit of $16.42k last month.

Our January 27th match against Lincoln will be televised, and we'll pick up $8k from it.

vs Newport County (11th)
GK Max Crocombe
DL Leon Clowes
DC Stevland Angus
DC Samuel Bangura
DR Matthew Challoner
DM Ryan Woodford
DM Aaron Wickham
ML Claudiu Hoban
MR Courtney Harris
ST Gianluca Gracco
ST Lewis Taaffe

We're big favorites here despite our slump and juryrigged lineup.

1 - Challoner to Woodford to Harris to Gracco, and there's the angled laser beam for the early lead! 1-0

19 - Textbook thievery by Clowes, who punctuates it with a 20 yard pass to Gracco. The Italian Stallion runs wild and free to the far side of the box, where he diagonal crosses it to Taaffe in the center and it's in. 2-0

20 - Great position, terrible finish by our opponents for the immediate answer.

26 - WOW! The opponent deliberately elbows Challoner in the face... and Nathan Jarvis gets the red!!!

32 - Yellow for Bangura

A goal attempt by them missed by mere inches near the end of the half and I'm shocked it didn't go in. Yeoman comes on for Taaffe, who got hurt early in the first but played through it to get us a goal.

66 - How stupid. Wickham gives up a penalty and they convert to cut the lead in half. 2-1 I immediately yank him for Dixon and give him an earful on the sidelines.

Woodford picked up a yellow at minute 90, and we had tons of shots in the second half, but just couldn't convert. Not the best win we've ever had, but we'll take it. 7.5 for Leon Clowes and 8.5 for MoM Gianluca Gracco in a game with a ton of 7s. Really needed that win to boost morale, too, which was starting to drop.

We're now up to 2nd, but 4th and 5th have a game in hand on us, and our 48 points still aren't remotely close to touching Forest Green's 55.
