'We do not care what others do' - Christian Fuchs

Newport County welcome fellow strugglers Tranmere Rovers to Rodney Parade on Tuesday, 3 March (19:45 GMT), in what is another vital game in their relegation battle.

County currently sit 24th in League Two, despite a hard fought 0-0 draw away at Fleetwood last time out.

Their opponents are on a poor run of form, Tranmere have lost their last three league games in a row, leaving them sat in 19th.

Despite this, Christian Fuchs insists his side are focusing on themselves and no one else.

"We know that we have it in our hands and we do not really care what the others do." Fuchs said.

"We need to make sure that we perform well, we need to show our resilience and obviously we want to be a bit more of a goal threat as well.

"If we just take care of own performance then I'm sure the results will come, but it's really nice to have a run of home games now as well."

After Tuesday's game The Exiles will welcome Colchester United for the second of their two home fixtures on the spin.

County will see this as a huge opportunity to push themselves up the table.

Boss Christian Fuchs believes his side's last two away performances will put them in good shape for the upcoming fixtures.

"From our last two away games we've walked away with four points, which has been incredible." Said Fuchs.

"They were two very similar games with two very similar pitches as well which did not help us.

"I think it showed the mentality of the group, they're a very good and caring group. They want to put this club in a better place and they want to fight for the badge."
