'Encouraging' but 'need a little more control'

- Published

After Newport County lost for the first time in League Two this season, conceding at late goal in a 2-1 defeat at Grimsby, we asked you to assess start to life under Dave Hughes.
Here are some of your comments:
Peter: "An improvement on last season. Team playing with commitment and spirit. Togetherness and good teamwork. Unfortunately a few errors of concentration at end of matches."
Luke: "Overall I think it's a pretty positive start with two good results to kick off the campaign. We've seen him look to rotate the squad and shows that we have strength in depth with more additions still rumoured to be made. I think we need a little more control in games especially in the middle of the pitch where we arguably have our best players in Smith and Whitmore."
Jamie: "Plenty to be positive about so far in the David Hughes era although conceding late goals is becoming a theme which needs to be addressed quickly."
Ed: "Grimsby fan here. I went yesterday, Newport have plenty of energy and looked good in the second half."
Linda: "So far the season is looking encouraging, as the players are more determined to win. Unfortunately though they seem to switch off during the extra time period at the end of the games. I am sure that they will improve over the coming weeks."
