Courtney Baker-Richardson, Michael Spellman and Cameron Antwi have also played key roles, contributing with goals and assists to fuel Newport’s attack.

Meanwhile, Jack Payne and Kyreece Lisbie have been pivotal for Colchester’s attack, crafted under Danny Cowley’s leadership, combining to deliver important goals and assists. Colchester’s top scorer in League Two, Payne, has ten goals this season, and has also shown his creativity, leading the team with six assists this campaign.
