So after a last minute defeat at the hands of crewe last Saturday the attention of Newport County turned to Exeter city at Rodney Parade. There was a lot of optimism around the club and the fans after the great result against Leicester city in front of the biggest home crowd since we played Tottenham. Michael Flynn made 2 changes from the crewe game with Mark O'Brien replacing Fraser franks and Regan Poole making his return to the county from Manchester united coming in for Tyler Forbes.
It was a nervy start from the county with Exeter dominating the early stages but failed to create much. County grew in confidence as the game went on creating a few good chances and forcing a few good saves from the Exeter goalkeeper Christy Pym but Exeter had the best chance of the first half which got Joe Day scrambling to his top left hand corner. We weren't at our best in the first half but after a half time team talk from Flynn meant that we better at the start of the second half. We had much more of the ball at the start of the second half. It was roles reverse from the first half. After a 5-10 minute spell from County we were in front through the in form Jamille Matt's 15th goal of the season. We created more chances and we should have scored more. I thought that we seen the game out quite comfortably with the match ending in the 3 points goint to Newport. This will give the team momentum going into the massive fa cup 4th round game up in Middlesbrough.
I thought we weren't at our best but we got the 3 points
