On 26 January, Newport County manager Christian Fuchs insisted his team were not in a League Two relegation battle. His side then went five matches without a win and appeared down and out, sitting five points adrift at the bottom of the table by mid-February. "It was a big relief, it was a well-deserved three points and being away from the bottom two is definitely big. Newport have now taken seven points from four games and sit on 28 points, one clear of Barrow and Harrogate who occupy the drop zone. Barrow, who have two games in hand, have the chance to go back above the Exiles when they travel to Cheltenham on Friday evening.
