GRAHAM Westley has confirmed some of his Newport County AFC players will be going out on loan between now and the end of the season.

However, the Exiles boss didn’t specify who which members of his squad would get game time elsewhere.

“There will be some more players going out as lads get fit, even if it’s just a month here or there to get some games and fitness,” said Westley.

“You will see players moving out the door, even if they’ve got a role to play between now and the end of the season.

“I need to get some fitness into one or two.”

Westley added 13 new names to his playing ranks during the January transfer window – 10 moved in the opposite direction – and he feels it was vital to add fresh blood to the squad.

“It’s a sign of necessity,” he added. “The playing squad here hasn’t been good enough.

“The club’s record here over the course of time speaks for itself.

“I think that the players that were here weren’t players that really knew how to or wanted to get results.

“It was as it was and there was an absolute necessity going into January that things changed and I’ve done what I’ve done because of that.”

He went on to add: “We’re three unbeaten and that speaks for itself and what’s gone before means you go into the next game with a bit more confidence than you would have done if you hadn’t taken five points in three games.

“I always approach each game trying to get the best out of what we’ve got and I think there’s a lot more there to get the best out of now.

“We’ve got the resources here now to, on our day, go and beat anybody in the league. I’m confident of that.

“We’ll have to get a lot right to beat anybody because, wherever they are in the league, sides have just changed their resources around.”

The County chief travelled to Kenilworth Road on Tuesday night to see Cheltenham, who County face at the LCI Rail Stadium today (kick-off 3pm), shock hosts Luton 3-2.

Commenting on the Robins, he said: “I watched Cheltenham at Luton the other night and they were very strong – they didn’t look like a bottom of League Two side.

“They’ve brought lads in with extra capability, their team has strengthened and they’ve got a little bit of confidence from nicking a result.

“And there’ll be a side in the bottom 10 that ends up in the bottom two, I’m sure. That’s how things change at this time of year.

“We know what we’ve got to do. We know that eight or nine wins will see us safe, 10 or 12 wins will get us into the bottom end of mid-table and 15 wins will see us pushing for the top 10.

“Do something incredible and you could still make the top seven but we’re not thinking like that.

We’re thinking ‘let’s go and win the next game.”
