Nelson Jardim says there's a "good vibe" at Newport County's training ground after the Exiles recovered from a last-gasp loss to Cheltenham Town on the opening day of the League Two campaign.

Newport conceded in injury time to lose 3-2 at Cheltenham, but have beaten Doncaster Rovers and Accrington Stanley 3-1 at Rodney Parade since the defeat by Michael Flynn's Robins.

Jardim, who replaced Graham Coughlan as boss in the summer, believes Newport are back on track having won successive games on home soil.

"The first week away, the Cheltenham game, we didn't do a bad game, we had to play six minutes with 10 men and we just lost that draw," he said.

"These two wins put us back on track and give us that confidence to play because it's tough.

"These wins help the boys to build and to get the confidence to play which is something we are trying to do, but it will take time.

"We have very young players and there's a lot of work to do, but we have a good group. There's a good vibe around our training ground every day."
