    Newport County are still hoping to bring players in ahead of the transfer deadline after just one win in their opening six League Two games.

    County are 20th in the table after a 2-0 defeat at Cambridge United on Saturday, highlighting the need for additions to the squad.

    "We're actively trying," said Hughes, who has so far made six permanent signings and brought in three loanees.

    "The chairman's been terrific in trying to get some new faces in and still doing so at this moment in time.

    "So, we're on the front foot, trying to be proactive to get some players in before the window shuts on Monday evening."

    Hughes said "honest, frank discussions" would be held this week following the Cambridge defeat and before Saturday's game against Bristol Rovers.

    But Hughes insisted he backed the players "100% to turn it around".

    "We can't get caught up with a result. We have to understand why it happened and ensure it doesn't happen again," Hughes added.
