Newport aware there is still a job to do

"It means the world."

Christian Fuchs barely needed to elaborate on what Newport County's dramatic late win over Oldham Athletic meant to everyone connected with the club.

"After the game, when you walk on the pitch and seeing what's possible here – the fans, the spirit, everybody together, everybody loud - it was an incredible moment for us," said the Exiles boss.

Bobby Kamwa's 108th minute winner sparked scenes of ecstasy at Rodney Parade.

The Exiles moved a step closer to League Two safety with just their sixth home win of the season, prompting jubilant celebrations at the final whistle.

Yet inside the camp, there is a clear understanding that the job is far from finished.

Newport head into the final day sitting just one point above the relegation zone, knowing everything is still on the line.

This was clear in match-winner Kamwa's mind.

"It was a great result but we're not going to get carried away," said the 26-year-old goal-scoring hero.

"The job's not fully done yet. We go again and we're ready to go to Barrow and give it our all and hopefully put it to bed there."

Fuchs shares that same outlook.

Having arrived at Rodney Parade in November with Newport rooted to the foot of the table, the former Premier League winner with Leicester has managed to galvanise Newport to ensure survival remains in their own hands

They travel to bottom-club Barrow on Saturday, 2 May (15:00 BST) knowing any two of five sides can still be relegated.

"We know it's going to be a tough game," said Fuchs of the final day trip to Cumbria.

"Barrow still have something to play for, they can still make it, so we are aware of that but we need to get points on the board still ourselves.

"So, we go there to perform really well, that's the bottom line. Even though you're on a big high I know at the same time we still need to prepare for the next game."
