Newport fans give their views on contrasting home and away form

With one of the worst away records in League Two, Newport County are gearing up for back-to-back games at Rodney Parade - and they are one of the division's best at home.

Ahead of the visit of Notts County on Saturday, we asked why there is such a difference between the Exiles on their ground and on their travels.

Here are some of your responses.

Richard - The away tactics don't seem to work - too much emphasis on just defending. We need to be more positive and use subs better. Home form is good but some performances have been more about defence and very low shots on goal and others much better with shots at goal

Phil – We are tactically naive away from home and need an experienced manager for next season otherwise things are unlikely to improve. UTC.

Lourenco - The Newport County players are, in all truth, rejected players from all the other clubs and the club has the lowest budget in League Two and most of National league below them, so to be in their position in 17th is a mini-miracle. I think it is only because of the astute reaction from Mr [Huw] Jenkins that their neck is above water - this is Nelson Jardim's first season.

Rob - I am a County fanatic, but in all honesty we are a relegation team who have had some immense luck in certain home games, particularly [against] relegation favourites Carlisle and Morecambe. Injuries and selling our best player haven't helped.

Mac - Yo-yo is the perfect description of our season. Some games we look like Guardiola's Barcelona and other games it's as if the players boots are made of lead.

Andrea - If you had told most Newport supporters that we would have the points we have at this stage in the season and that we would be practically safe, they would have been very happy given our budget and the players we have. The ups and downs are part and parcel of being a football supporter and the lows make the highs extra special.

Terry - There is nothing new in a mid-table team doing better at home than away - that is why they are mid-table. It may only take a slight tweak to improve on the road and perhaps Newport should be more adventurous when playing away from Rodney Parade.
