Another season is over, and there is plenty upon which to reflect. Rhys is in the chair for our epic end-of-season review, and is joined by Ian and Ed as they analyse Newport County's 2022/23 season in depth. We revisit the decision to sack James Rowberry and where things went wrong for him, and track the evolution of 'Cockball' under his successor Graham Coughlan. We also consider which of County's out-of-contract  players might still be with us come August. We muse on kits, including this late 70s / early 80s effort, and ponder designing our own over the summer. We then settle a few scores in an end-of-season "shoutouts and beefs" extravaganza...We'll stay in touch over the summer with a few special episodes (keep an eye on our Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn for info) as well as checking in about new signings as they emerge. But until then, thank you so much for your support this season, and enjoy the summer break!Support the show

Ed and Jamie convene to unpack the last two games: a solid 2-1 win away in sunny Gillingham, and a chaotic 3-2 defeat at home to Harrogate. Newport County's strange, struggling home form continues in stark contrast to a respectable, borderline-impressive away record. Featuring musings on Townsend’s return to the net, how to get the best out of Omar Bogle, and an excitable James Waite.

Ed rues a frustrating night against Mansfield and wishes that the season could have ended at the weekend. Again, County experiment with a different line-up and tactical approach to no avail - with no help from referee and officials along the way... And speaking of experiments not working, apologies for dodgy audio from the first half - blame a new microphone that wasn't as good as we'd hoped!Drop us a line via Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn with any thoughts or questions.

What's this? Ian at a home game?

Rhys and Ed bring you the best and the worst of a Jekyll & Hyde weekend for County.

Ed caught up with Ollie and Esme to look back on a tumultuous week for County. Since our last pod, we've had a draw (at Walsall), a win (at Hartlepool) and a loss (at home to Sutton), as well as the departure of Darren Kelly and the arrival onto the Board of Jon Pratt. How we managed to squeeze our chat into just 40-odd minutes, you'll have to find out.We also cover the correct way to pronounce "Demetriou", give Charlie McNeil an edible nickname, and bring you news of some new 1912 Exiles merchandise.

Our man on the northern beat, Ian Street, made the long trip to Barrow, with a diversion en-route along memory lane and some family reflections. Regular listeners will enjoy his usual blend of social history, philosophy and the odd footballing insight too on what turned out to be an exceedingly dull game with a dramatic late twist! County have now secured the all-important back-to-back wins that can make such a difference to sides in a scrap.Ed will be at the Stevenage game on Tuesday, all being well, in an episode which might hopefully keep up the recent theme of introducing a few new voices as well...

Ian is joined by Ed and Rhys after a few tedious weekends without any County games to discuss.
