Nelson Jardim says mentality is key for Newport County in what remains of the League Two season after they bounced back to form with victory over Gillingham.

Bobby Kamwa struck a 21st minute hat-trick as the Exiles claimed a 3-1 win on Tuesday night.

Newport's first win in four games means they are 15th in the table, 12 points adrift of the play-off places and 14 clear of the relegation zone.

Head coach Jardim says the Gillingham performance set the tone for the final 12 fixtures of the season, with a trip to 16th-placed Chesterfield to come next this weekend.

"Let's make sure everyone is still focused and everyone knows there are a lot of games to play," Jardim said.

"The right mentality moving forward is what we have shown [against Gillingham]. We need to make sure we bring that in every game.

"We have to try to bring more wins into this club. You can only do that with the right attitude and mentality."
