Newport County is fighting for their survival in League Two, but Christian Fuchs is leading the team to avoid relegation with a crucial win over Tranmere Rovers. The Exiles have been in the relegation zone for five months, but Fuchs' leadership has given them a new lease on life. They won as many games in the four-week spell as they had managed in the first four months of the league season, boosting their survival chances. Defeat by league leaders Bromley on Tuesday night has dragged Newport back to within a point of the relegation scrap. Former Wales international Sam Vokes told the Feast of Football podcast that Newport will be 'gutted' to have lost to the leaders having dominated much of the game. Vokes also echoed the need for internal drive: 'As players it has to come from within. You're fighting for your job, your livelihood. To stay in the EFL is huge. With eight games to go, that has to be the inspiration.' Being in the relegation battle is an uneasy deja vu for supporters. This is the third successive season County - who finished 22nd last season - are fighting the drop despite manager Fuchs' earlier insistence they were not in a relegation battle. Still, Fuchs takes positive from the match against top of the table Bromley who are unbeaten in 20 matches. 'I really enjoyed [how we are] playing with freedom, playing really good football in many stages of the game, and a lot to build on,' said Fuchs “The morale of the team [is] top. They are buzzing after the game, after the performance, and we need to take it in the next game. The effort they put in deserved more. I'm very proud of the team. We didn't deserve what we got [on Tuesday].' Despite sitting just above the relegation zone, Newport have 31 points from 38 games, a point less than this stage in 2017. But the crucial difference is, then, they were seven points adrift; now, they remain above the red zone and in control of their fate. There is no hiding from the margins. According to Fuchs, County created 'enough chances for three games' against Bromley, but the finishing touch continued to go awry. They have scored six goals in their last six, but failed to net in three of those games, and their tally of 36 league goals is the division's fourth lowest. Fuchs has called for his side to be 'better in both boxes' as Newport have kept just six clean sheets and conceded 65 goals, the second most in the division. They have also made the most errors leading to goals, with former Exile Corey Whitely's long-range winner on Tuesday coming from after another loose clearance. Injuries could
