'A very encouraging start' for County

Newport County have made an unbeaten start to the season under new head coach David Hughes. BBC Sport Wales asked fans for their views after their first three "Early days. Starting well but dare I say it, we always seem to implode after Christmas. Signs are good so let's keep it going."Peter: "Very encouraging start. After the disastrous end to last season, the new manager has galvanised the team. Good new signings excellent teamwork. Port are back!"Mark: "Much better organised than last season. They look hard to beat are taking their chances and there is effort there for 90 mins."Alan: The opening 3 games have given me optimism and certainly an improvement on last season which is not saying much. New signings have made a difference and the new managerial set up seems to have some tactical know how but it is still early days. We are promised more signings so hopefully we will get an experienced striker and midfielder which we desperately need. Encouraging signs so far."Jamie: "Decent start. Better coach as well. Do not think the season will end so abruptly as the last two. I can see a play off spot at best but mid-table is more realistic."Andrea: "Really positive start. I'm really encouraged by the energy and attitude of the management and players."
