Grimsby Town at Newport: Pressure is on County - Scott

ROB Scott believes Newport County's celebrations at Blundell Park were premature – as Grimsby Town set their sights on another away-day triumph.

The Exiles seized the advantage at the halfway point of the two sides' play-off semi-final thanks to Ismail Yakubu's late header.

However, the Mariners joint boss, right, appeared unimpressed by the visitors' post-match celebrations on Wednesday night.

And he insists all the pressure is now on Justin Edinburgh's men ahead of the second leg on Sunday.

"To concede that late on was particularly gauling, but we know that we can go away from home and win," Scott remarked. "We've said that all season and gone to some difficult places and put on some great performances.

"The pressure is off us. Their fans looked like they think they're through and there were a few celebrations from the players on their bench.

"But we'll see. We'll go there a goal behind, knowing we've got to win and score goals."

The co-manager continued: "We can be better – we know that and the players know that – and we need to be better to achieve what we want.

"The fans don't need to be told that we're not out of it. If it was 5-0 I'd be trying to blag it to some degree, but they saw on Wednesday how tight it is.

"It's a play-off game and not like any other. It's a different occasion and not about performance – it's all about the result.

"We'll ask the fans that are travelling down there on Sunday to be really vocal in their support.

"They'll know that the players will be doing everything they can to get the right result and get us to Wembley."
