Mullins expecting tricky Gillingham encounterpublished at 09:16 BST
Image source, Huw Evans Picture AgencyNewport County boss Hayden Mullins expects another tough encounter when his side travel to face Gillingham on Saturday, 3 October (15:00 BST).
The Exiles beat Grimsby Town 2-1 at Rodney Parade last time out and are unbeaten in their last three league outings.
But Newport, who sit 17th in League Two, are yet to win on the road this season, while eighth-placed Gills have only lost once at Priestfield Stadium so far.
Mullins, who reported no fresh injury concerns ahead of this weekend's trip to Kent, says County will set up to face a front-footed Gillingham team.
"You always hope it will be entertaining. As a head coach, you want it to be as cut and dry as you see it," he said.
"I'm sure Gareth's (Ainsworth) team will be setting up to beat us. They'll be on the front foot. It'll be a game [where] they will want to attack.
"They got beat on the weekend, so I'm sure they will be setting up to really give us a game. We don't expect anything less.
"This division throws up different results, and we've seen it on Saturday with us. I don't think many people gave us a chance against Grimsby.
"We ended up winning the game. On Saturday, we will be setting up how we feel we can hurt them.
"Like we always do, we'll be going out trying to attack it, and we hope we have a good game."
Recent Gillingham signing Tom Eaves could make his debut against Newport, having been declared fit by Ainsworth, although the boss said he is "a little behind",
