Newport County are unbeaten after their opening two league games - and preparing to face Championship side Millwall in the first round of the Carabao Cup.

So far, so encouraging for a side written off by many pundits and bookmakers before the season began.

After warming up for the league with a penalty shoot-out win over Barnet in the preliminary round of the cup, County opened their League Two campaign with a solid 1-1 draw against highly-fancied Notts County.

The Exiles followed that up by claiming their first league win under new boss Dave Hughes, goals from Kai Whitmore and debutant Liam Shephard giving them a 2-1 victory at relegated Crawley Town.

New Zealand goalkeeper Nik Tzanev - one of a host of new players signed by Newport in the summer - also caught the eye at Broadfield Stadium with some impressive saves, while Lee Jenkins' long throw-ins look like they will be an asset.

Early days, yes, but four points from the first six on offer should provide fans with encouragement that County will make significant progress on last season's disappointing 22nd-place finish.

Hughes is also hoping to make more additions to his squad before the transfer window closes at the end of August.
