Christian Fuchs hopes Bobby Kamwa can continue to play a pivotal role in Newport County’s quest for survival after he netted a vital winner against Shrewsbury Town.
The 26-year-old struck the only goal of the contest on 68 minutes at Rodney Parade as the Exiles claimed a crucial three points in the League Two encounter.

It was just Kamwa’s second goal of the season, although boss Fuchs hopes the attacker can take confidence from his match-winner.
“It’s one great moment from Bobby Kamwa where he finally hits the goal,” said Fuchs. “I’m really pleased for him.
“It helps every player to have those moments to score a goal, especially the front players.
“Bobby has so much quality on the ball. There should be a penalty given to us, why would he go down?
“He takes on players, he’s very unpredictable because he can go on the outside or the inside.
“I’m very happy for him that he found the back of the net today.”

Despite victory, Newport stay 22nd in the table, two points clear of Barrow who are 23rd after earning a shock win against leaders Bromley.
But Fuchs says his focus remains solely on his own side after they kept their survival hopes firmly in their own hands by beating the Shrews.
“The boys have dealt with everything that was thrown their way. It was a great team performance and it was a team win,” added the Austrian.
“That’s what I like about my team, we can add more and more the longer the game goes on.
“We have it in our own hands. That’s all we are looking for. It’s only important what we are doing.”
