I’m more upbeat about the County today. It’s nice to have some in charge ( not HJ ! ) someone with their hand on the tiller. There may be troubled waters ahead, we may even sink and go down but for the moment it’s plain sailing

I see Jamieson scored on his debut for Ross County in the Scots League Cup

Today’s match will be the first real test for the County. I will be impressed if they keep another clean sheet today. Hey ! This is not football weather though. Just hit 30c here in Newport.

Our first NEW signing ! Shaquille Gwengwe from Poole Town. Top goalscorer in Southern league! 24 years old. Could be just what we need

It’s sad to see our favourites leave the County but hopefully this gives Fuchs a blank canvas and we can see the type of player he brings in and his style of play. Something to look forward to !

I know it may bring future despair but ‘‘ Tis done “. I have not filled in my tax form or made an appointment with the dentist……. I’ve bought my season ticket ! I hope the gods of football smile on the County and give us a comfortable 18th position with no relegation battles !

Just listened to Yannis Varoufakis on the Rest is Politics podcast. He was finance minister when Greece went bankrupt in 2015. Really interesting chap with his own economic and political views youtu.be/QEgpcMSf56g?...

It’s 10 to 5 on a Saturday afternoon and I feel relaxed, care free, walking on air ! Haven’t felt like this for 9 months or more. I wonder why ?

The first 7 months of this season Kamwa didn’t tackle,didn’t head the ball and most importantly he didn’t score. Then in the last 6 weeks he scores 5 goals that probably kept us up.He will be on top wages so will CF try and retain him or will he be enticed away by a higher bid ?

Just seen the County team. Anyone know who Pugh is on the subs bench ?

Trying to get in the right frame of mind but to paraphrase the Bard “Stiffen the sinews , summon up the blood, the game's afoot: Follow your spirit, and upon this charge Cry 'Up the County”

Yesterday I heard from a reliable source that Jed Garner and CBR were told to leave the club as their behaviour was having an effect on team morale.

The usual predictable result ! It’s been plain all season we have nothing up front ! No goal scorer !! Instead of Crole , Jarvis and Jamieson they could have bought one end of career tried and tested EFL forward

This is the strongest side we could put out so no excuses. Carpe diem !

As the nerves begin to jangle ahead of today’s match the words of that immortal song come to mind …. “Run,lads ! Shoot, lads ! Give your heart and soul”

Out of 18 away matches Bromley have won 9. Out of 18 County have won 3. So expectations are not high but after the euphoria of Saturday’s result I’m not bothered about tonight’s result.

Nerves are twitching now ! A win is a must tonight. A draw would make things harder and prolong the agony. A loss would be disastrous. If we can’t beat teams like this there is not much hope for us !

Call me an old sceptic but is the sudden illness of CF a bit sudden ? If not I wish him a speedy recovery !

Ahead of the Trust meeting on Thursday should the Trust sell off some of its shares for investment?If so how many?I am in 2 minds.I want us fans to own as much of the club as possible and not become another Wrexham but I also see that with no assets we need investment. Anyone have opinions on this?

Delaney will have a testing time against Dack . Seb on the bench though !

I bet no one had Spellman in their team for today ! I trust in CF’s judgment ( and pray ! )

HJ said they would look into toning down the match reports and this is the latest !!! “Blooded County were slashed by a quartet of flashing gladiator blades as they slumped to a 14th League Two defeat in England’s Roman mecca.”

HJ came over as a genuine person although either stupid or naive to think the same strategy of cheap or injured players would keep us up for a second season. What was not explained was how an investment of £100k would cost the current shareholders £800k.We can never get investment in this case

Just wondering how tonight’s meeting is going to go. Knowing HJ I’m downbeat. We will see !

Ed spoke to @therailwaymen.bsky.social ahead of Wednesday night's trip to Gresty Road to report on County's prospects. The Samaritans take more upbeat calls than this one. shows.acast.com/the-... #ncafc 🧡🖤 #CreweAlex 🚂

Amber warning for North London ! Kick off 2-30 BBC2 !! Up the County !!!

Article in today’s Guardian. Is this fair to other Welsh clubs or Welsh sport in general ?

I was impressed by CF’s press conference. He came over as being confident, enthusiastic and sincere. I think I am more upbeat now about his motivation skills and look forward to a win on Saturday.
