Adam Chapman has said that Newport County can be pleased with their start to the League Two season despite a 3-2 defeat to Morecambe at the weekend.

Despite leading twice, two Tom Naylor own goals and a Padraig Amond strike handed Morecambe the win.

However, midfielder Chapman has urged his teammates to forget about their first home loss of the season and concentrate on beating Exeter City away on Saturday.

"We're doing okay, but obviously getting that first away win this season out of the way is going to be nice for us," he told Wales Online.

"But it's early in the season, we've just come up and we've had a few new signings coming into the group, so it is a good sign that we are disappointed not to have won an away game in this league so far."

Newport are 12th in League Two.
