'It's men against boys' - Newport fans have their say

BBC Sport asked Newport County fans what head coach David Hughes needs to change to turn around fortunes after an eight-game winless run that includes seven defeats.

Here is what fans had to say after Saturday's 4-1 loss at Chesterfield:

Dan - Desperately in need of some experience. Games just seem to be passing us by, without any real grit. We've lost the identity that's kept us in the league for a gamble on youth.

Peter - Hughes has failed to get the team performing. He is inexperienced and naive tactically. Relegation threatens. Mike Flynn is available. He can save the club.

Kevin - Think it's time to move on and get a new manager in. He has had enough time to get a winning side but is well out of his depth. It's embarrassing for all County fans, from the end of last season to this.

Paul - Mirror successfully League 2 winning teams. Strong spine to the side. Commanding goalkeeper who comes for crosses. Two very strong athletic centre-halves. Midfield players need to be athletic, big and mobile. And a goal scorer. Rest of the team fits around strong spine. We need a proven league manager.

Chris - Bring in players who have EFL experience. It's men against boys. He said we'd be hard to beat, we are the total opposite. So easy to play against. Individual errors. The squad simply isn't EFL quality, it's more aligned to Conference South so Hughes, who's been let down by the owner Huw Jenkins, has a very tough job on his hands

Terry - Right now he needs to get someone to play a holding midfield role because teams are running straight through Newport. Also he needs to find a way of making the Exiles hard to beat. It's not pretty, but a previous manager did it - before he was ousted!!
