If you are not successful and you are not winning then questions are asked.“I have never deviated in my belief in the players. Maybe one or two have deviated in their belief in me.”Hughes, 47, took his first senior managerial position at Newport after departing from his role at Manchester United’s academy.The Exiles have been in poor form since the start of the 2025/26 season and currently sit second from the bottom in League Two.CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSHowever, Hughes insisted he was “always optimistic” his team would turn their form around after their win, their first league triumph since the opening week of the season.He added: “Three points definitely tastes very nice and the reception the supporters gave the players at the end was excellent. “It’s one victory.
