Jardim to 'draw a line' under heavy Accrington defeat
Newport County head coach Nelson Jardim says his side must move on quickly from their heaviest defeat of the season.
The Exiles were beaten 5-0 at Accrington Stanley on Tuesday, their third consecutive loss on the road.
"A tough week after a defeat like that is never easy, but I think it's gone now and we have to refocus for the next one," said Jardim.
Having won four games in a row during February, Newport have now lost four of their last five League Two fixtures, with their Portuguese head coach critical in recent weeks of performances and mentality.
However, after the mid-week trouncing at the Wham Stadium, Jardim acknowledged few words were needed.
"The players, straight after the game, were telling a couple of truths, I didn't need to speak too much," he revealed.
"We didn't start the game in the best way, with a lack of intensity and aggression that the opposition had. The boys know that if they aren't at that level, this is what happens."
County will be back on home ground on Saturday when they face Harrogate Town, a match which will see the return to Rodney Parade of former player Bryn Morris who left to join the Sulphurites in January.
"It was a massive signing for them," said Jardim.
"He's an important player, playing every game and has settled in very well. More importantly, him and his family are happy, and that's something we as a club value highly.
"We've obviously missed him but we've found ways to overcome that."
