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.

Substandard performance. The news boys didn't show a great deal, and it is hard to say whether they have the potential for improvement. I guess I could see the midfield settling, but think we'll struggle near the bottom of the league without another striker. The defence should get more solid with games, but probably we could also do with an experienced centre half. |  | | |

Pathetic performance.
As much as I love Wyndham very frustrating to hear him say stuff like it's "difficult for first game of season" (as if it's different for Newport), "We're missing a few players, (as if its different for Newport who had Amond, King, Wilmott and Baker on the bench) and "none of our players played badly today" (as if we were the league 2 side, not Newport). |  |

Spot on.
Made the schoolboy error of over confidence and lack of application against supposedly lower level players.
Wouldn't see the All Blacks do that, ever. | |

And that's no disrespect to Newport, they deservedly won the game. | |

Any positives? |
Woodman - can’t possibly be so shoddy again
Fulton - underlined his prowess as solid utility player
MG-W - glimpses of power, determination, zip and deft touch
Routs - more sprightly, linked well and now even fitter
Rodon - commanding and drove forwards well in 2nd half
Asoro - grit and determination, pacey | | | |
