Newport County & Swansea City team news
County have had a busy window with the signings of striker Ryan Taylor from Plymouth, David Longe-King from St Albans City, Saikou Janneh from Bristol City and right-back Liam Shephard from fellow League Two side Forest Green Rovers.
With the losses of Brewster and club captain Mike Van Der Hoorn, Swansea have bolstered their squad with the signing of winger Jamal Lowe, Korey Smith from Bristol City, resigning Freddie Woodman from Newcastle and Marc Guehi from Chelsea on loan and a further loan signing of Wolves midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White.
Both squads could be full of debutants come Saturday at Rodney Parade.
ONE TO WATCH
Morgan Gibbs-White
SWANSEA CITY
Midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White is one of the most promising young players in English football, having won both the Championship with Wolves and the Under-17 World Cup with England in 2017.
The 20-year-old has made 53 appearances for Wolves so far, and scored his first goal for the club in August 2019 during the clubs Europa League qualifier with FC Pyunik.
Gibbs-White will be hoping he can establish himself as a first-team regular this season, and that could start with a debut this weekend.
Updates to follow. Join in Jacks and enjoy the game.

That doesn't surprise me at all |  |
| Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

MG-W Looking Sharp
Positive setup
Would prefer to see CM commanding the ball and flow of our game | | | |

So far this looks more like a pre-season friendly than a cup game. Ayew and Lowe are up front but haven't had a strike on goal so far. Newport not doing a great deal, but our defence is looking a bit uncertain at times. Not a lot of creativity in midfield.
As I type Woodman has to dive to turn a low shot around the post. The corner is not cleared and a shot from about ten yards is deflected wide. Nothing comes from the second corner. [Post edited 5 Sep 2020 15:38]

2-0 Abrahams has a run through on goal. Woodman gets to the ball but it deflects back off the striker who then has a tap in. This followed a good run by Ayew, who was crowded out six yards from goal. | | | |

Wyndham’s self restraint is commendable. Rightly slagging off Woodman as politely as he possibly can
Midfield needs to grasp this game, start bossing and getting some zip going | | | |

I’ve never rated woodman, Benda for me is a far better keeper. | |

I’m probably the only one who’ll say this but he’s starting to grate on me a bit. Love him as a Ex player And an ambassador to the club but commentary isn’t his bag. Though in fairness I did laugh out loud when he said Bidwell tried to strangle the Newport player | |
