#289: Tranmere (H)

Jamie and the pod crew descend on Newport for another early litmus test against Tranmere; kicking things off with pre-match opines at the Arcadia before heading pitchside to meet with the usual cast of characters under the stands and on the terraces.

Talking points before kickoff: has this squad quietly upgraded from relegation fodder to something with genuine bite? The lads dig into Newport's newfound physicality, the new arrival of the Vicar; Dibley Dias and if he can plug a thin midfield, is this the same Tranmere fellow relegation scrappers from last season? The Cameron Norman subplot, Big Shaq's prolific goalscoring, and why the January-window scramble before Tuesday's clock strikes could define County's season.

Our theme tune is the original 1973 recording of Come On The County. We are brought to you in association with our friends at the Riverside Sports Bar (the home of great burgers and live sport in Newport) and Skerryvore Designs (a Newport-based and family-run advisors on all architectural projects big and small, offering a first initial consultation meeting). Our huge thanks to both of them for their support.

Until next time, look after yourselves and each other, and above all Keep It County.
