SNAP REACTION 🗣️ Walsall looked like a team who will go up, and we didn’t. But we gave them a proper game, we scored goals, and we should go into the next big trio of games with our tails up. That’s it! #ncafc 🧡🖤 #Saddlers 🔴

Although we have shown deficiencies today, you have to grudgingly praise #WalsallFC. They look like the real deal this year - strong, direct, purposeful and they’ve taken their chances excellently. No shame in losing to these. #ncafc 🧡🖤 #Saddlers 🔴

2-4. A very soft freekick for the ref to give - but we’ve got to defend it better than that. All four goals have come from our defence being flat-footed in our own area. #ncafc 🧡🖤 #Saddlers 🔴

Well you can’t knock it for entertainment value. And our goals have been better than theirs. Beyond that, Walsall look the better side so no complaints - but we’re still in this. #ncafc 🧡🖤 #Saddlers 🔴

1-3. Finneganagain. (cheers, we’re here all week) #ncafc 🧡🖤 #Saddlers 🔴

Aaaaaand it’s 1-2. Flat footed in defence. #ncafc 🧡🖤 #Saddlers 🔴

WHAT. A. FUCKING. HIT. Kai Whitmore, you beauty 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀 And no sooner have I written that than we concede at the other end. But our goal was better, so we’re ahead on points. Or something. #ncafc 🧡🖤 #Saddlers 🔴

Prynhawn da, Exiles! How’s your mood ahead of this one? Pre-match in the marquee, the feeling seemed to be that this is a free hit, so let’s have a bloody good go and see what happens. Agree? Disagree? #ncafc 🧡🖤 #Saddlers 🔴

The purrrfect new meowdfielder County need... #ncafc 🧡🖤

One final plug for this - our match preview ahead of this afternoon's big top-versus-bottom #FourthDivision clash between #NewportCounty and #WalsallFC. Cheers Gary from One Pod Beyond for joining us. #ncafc 🧡🖤 #Saddlers 🔴

Lots of good responses to this across our different channels. Strong consensus that it's a good draw in the sense of potentially being on telly - but we're facing a very strong opponent. This is a test. This is a real test. #FACup 🏆 #ncafc 🧡🖤 #WeAreTheWood

So then, Boreham Wood away in the Second Round. Thoughts? #FACup 🏆 #ncafc 🧡🖤

Our man at RP yesterday was Max, and his report is now up on our YouTube page (and in Ep250 of the podcast out now). Everything you need to know about County's #FACup 🏆 victory in less than seven minutes! youtu.be/x7GYZgFjiWM #ncafc 🧡🖤 #Gills 🔵⚪️

‘If you can meet with triumph and disaster. And treat those two impostors just the same..’ then it’s safe to say you won’t have been watching Newport County at home for the last seven months.

For those of you who prefer to enjoy our audio medium with moving pictures, the recording of Ep250 is now on our YouTube page - link below. The clips spliced into the episode are either already there as separate vids or will follow later. 📺 www.youtube.com/@1912Exiles #ncafc 🧡🖤

🥵 Been a bit of a monster edit, but Ep250 of the podcast is now up. Full plug to follow later, but if you want the perfect Sunday morning listen then it's in your feeds and a video version is on YouTube as well. #ncafc 🧡🖤

Not just a win. But a home win. Involving penalties. Against a team higher than us in the league. Take a bow, County, you have smashed ALL the mental demons today. #ncafc 🧡🖤 #Gills 🔵⚪️ #FACup 🏆

Newport County in 2025/26 and penalties. What could possibly go wrong‽ #ncafc 🧡🖤 #Gills 🔵⚪️ #FACup 🏆

GÔÔÔÔÔÔÔÔÔÔÔÔÔÔÔÔÔÔÔÔÔÔÔÔÔÔÔÔLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL CASNEWYDD

Unchanged then. How do we feel about that then, Exiles? #ncafc 🧡🖤

Right, come on then Exiles - who's heading along to RP today, and what's going to happen? #FACup 🏆 #ncafc 🧡🖤

We asked Jamie from the @dragonslairpodcast.bsky.social to give us a readout of last week's WRU announcement. What might the loss of one pro rugby team in Wales mean for the Newport Dragons, for Rodney Parade and for Newport County? Here's what he told us... youtu.be/h9iPaxYN8p4 #ncafc 🧡🖤

Loads of replies to this across our different social media channels. There's wisdom in crowds, so it's interesting to see a consensus that we should play a strong team, try and get that elusive home win, generate a bit more momentum and optimism, and hope to carry it into our league form. 🤞🏻

An update from our featured local side for 2025/26, #Rogerstone AFC Women, who got their first win a few weeks back, 4-3 against Treorchy. The team are back in action on Sunday: 2pm against Coed Duon at Newport Fugitives athletics ground. youtube.com/shorts/eHO3w... #Newport #SupportYourLocal 💚🖤

So, #FACup action this weekend, Exiles. Let's open up a bit of a discussion and take the temperature: "How big a priority is a cup run for you this season?" Over to you! 🎙️ #ncafc 🧡🖤

Plans are afoot for a BUMPER pod at the weekend to mark a quarter-century of 1912 Exiles episodes... 😮 But do catch up on Ep249 if you haven't yet, as it was a truly uplifting listen with @ianstreet.bsky.social on great form, reporting on a win (for once). #ncafc 🧡🖤

We're up to £60 now in the #WhitmoresWarnings charity pot (all proceeds to County In The Community at the end of the season). If you want to supplement the fund (and why wouldn't you?) then you can do so via the link below. 💷 ko-fi.com/s/d5d3b6a9ef#WhitmoresWarnings #ncafc 🧡🖤

This is a good listen as always from the @dragonslairpodcast.bsky.social on recent 🥚 matters in #Newport. We're hoping that for our next episode at the weekend they'll give us a short readout of last week's WRU decision and what its implications might be for County. #ncafc 🧡🖤

Some parts of the Welsh sports media seem to be talkiing about a "derby" win yesterday in a competitioin between two teams 134 miles apart. "Hey Siri, show us what a REAL derby win looks like." #ncafc 🧡🖤
