The Gas's return to the fourth tier could barely have started worse for Darrell Clarke's side, who began 2025/26 with three straight defeats, but back-to-back victories against Cambridge United and Grimsby Town has eased fears about another relegation.

They now head to Rodney Parade knowing that a win against struggling Newport could see them finish the weekend in the top half of the table.

The Exiles took four points from their first two League Two games before slumping into a run of four straight defeats that leaves them just two points above the drop zone.

Though it is early in his tenure, the pressure is already on Dave Hughes to turn the tide at the Welsh club.
