Newport County manager Hayden Mullins emphasizes home form improvement

Newport County manager Hayden Mullins plans to focus on strong performances at Rodney Parade as the club looks to recover from a difficult start to the League Two season. The team currently holds four points from two home matches, including a 3-0 victory against Rochdale and a draw with Tranmere. In contrast, the club has struggled significantly away from home, losing 11 games during the 2026 calendar year and failing to secure any points on the road so far this season. Mullins attributed recent losses against Northampton and Salford to momentary lapses in concentration rather than a lack of competitive effort. Newport County prepares to host Fleetwood Town at Rodney Parade this Saturday, 12 September, aiming to build on their home foundation. The team is currently balancing their domestic campaign while addressing the recurring defensive issues that have left them with a record mirroring last season's early struggles.
