Newport form a reward for training ground work

Nelson Jardim says Newport County's run of three successive wins is reward for the players' tireless efforts on the training ground.

The Exiles were beaten 3-2 by Cheltenham Town in their League Two opener before losing 4-1 at Leyton Orient in the opening round of the Carabao Cup.

After a tricky start, Newport have since beaten Doncaster Rovers, Accrington Stanley and Morecambe to move up to fourth in the league table.

While Jardim is pleased with his side's recent improvement, the head coach admits his players still have plenty to work on following their triumph at Morecambe.

"We know that (run of wins) is the result of what we've been doing on the training ground," Jardim said.

"The boys have been great, they've been putting in really hard work every day and this is just the result of that.

"I think we can all see everything is coming together now and hopefully we can keep going, but we know there's a lot of work to be done.

"We have to go back on Monday and make sure we improve because there were a lot of things I did not like today (against Morecambe), and we are not happy with that.

"It's just a case of reviewing it and improving."
