MORECAMBE may be a bogey side for Newport County AFC but tomorrow’s trip to the Globe Arena holds no fears for new manager Warren Feeney.

Since winning promotion to the Football League in 2013, County have played the Shrimps five times and lost five times.

The Exiles have scored six goals and conceded 13 and the matches have been littered with red cards, own goals and dodgy penalties.

One man is usually at the centre of things for Morecambe – Kevin Ellison has scored three goals and won three penalties against the Exiles in the past three seasons, averaging an assist a game as well.

But Feeney scored two late penalties on his last visit to the Globe Arena as a player with Plymouth Argyle, helping the Pilgrims come from 2-0 down to win 3-2, and he’s unconcerned about a hoodoo.

“I don’t worry too much about the opposition or what’s happened in the past,” he said. “I like to concentrate on what we can do.

“I’ve got great memories of playing up there myself but we’ll concentrate on how we can hurt Morecambe.

“I’m sure Jim [Bentley] will be the same. I saw his comments the other night about how he felt let down and it is frustrating.

“But knowing Jim and the character he is I’m sure he’ll have them up for Saturday.”

Feeney feels that his side deserved more than one point from their last two games – a 2-2 home draw with Dagenham & Redbridge last Saturday and a 1-0 defeat at Leyton Orient on Tuesday.

“Barring the first five minutes against Dagenham I don’t think we’ve played too bad,” he said.

“I think we forced 15 corners in the second half of that game and we had enough chances to win two games.

“The other night I thought we were comfortable and looked strong.

“We didn’t create a lot but neither did they and I don’t think we deserved to lose that game.

“But I want wins. The situation we’re in we need to win football matches.”

Two weeks after replacing John Sheridan, Feeney says he’s enjoying his new role at Rodney Parade.

And he says the pressure of being a number one is nothing new after his previous experience managing Linfield in his native Northern Ireland.

“I am enjoying it,” he said. “I learned a lot in my previous job; it was very demanding at Linfield.

“They were on top of you 24/7 and we had 17 board members and meetings with the fans.

“One day we won 4-0 and got booed off because we hadn’t won 5-0 so I know what it’s all about.”
