Newport County boss Graham Coughlan welcomes chairman’s backing amid poor form

Newport County boss Graham Coughlan has expressed his gratitude for the backing of chairman Huw Jenkins as his team prepares for their final League Two match of the season against Bradford City.

Despite suffering seven consecutive defeats leading up to this crucial game, Jenkins has publicly praised Coughlan and his staff for their efforts throughout the season. Coughlan, who took over in October 2022, admitted that he badly needed the support during this challenging period.

The team’s recent poor form has seen them drop to 17th in the table, with injuries playing a significant role in their struggles. However, Jenkins remains confident in Coughlan’s ability to turn things around and lead the club into the next season.

Coughlan, who has been at the forefront of the club during this difficult spell, emphasized the importance of the upcoming match for the club, the fans, and the players. He acknowledged the pressure he has been under and expressed his desire to finish the season on a high note with a victory.

Bradford City, their final opponents, are currently on a four-game winning streak and are just two points away from a play-off spot. Despite the daunting task ahead, Coughlan is determined to end the season positively and give the fans something to cheer about.

As Newport County looks to bounce back from their recent setbacks, all eyes will be on Coughlan and his team as they aim to finish the season on a high note and build momentum for the future.
