When we fall we get up again - Fuchs
[Huw Evans Picture Agency] Christian Fuchs says Newport County "will get up again" following defeat at Cheltenham Town as they look to avoid relegation to the National League. The Exiles' League Two survival hopes suffered a blow as they lost to a late Cheltenham goal at Whaddon Road last weekend. Newport are just a point and a place above the drop zone with two games remaining this season - but Fuchs insists there is "100% belief in this team".
"It's a situation that we have dealt with many times, where we fall down and we get up again, we roll up our sleeves and we keep going," the Newport boss added. "We have shown a lot of quality throughout the season already, and if there will be changes, it's too early to say. " The Austrian's side have flirted with relegation throughout the season and now face two huge fixtures.
They host Oldham on Saturday (15:00 BST) before a trip to Barrow, the side who currently sit 23rd in the table, on the final day. Fuchs says his players must stay focused if they are to get the points they need to survive. "We'll try to be creative, but it's about the freshness and the mental freshness of the players," said Fuchs.
"It's been a long season and now, when it comes down to the wire, we need to have fresh minds on the pitch to execute. " The former Premier League winner hopes Newport fans will play their part in the game against mid-table Oldham. "They have been incredible this season, all season long already, the way they supported us.
" Fuchs said. "I hope they will come en masse like they did at Cheltenham, show great support and have our back. "
