WINGER Bobby Kamwa has quickly become a fan favourite at Rodney Parade by adding an exciting unpredictability to the Newport County AFC attack – and even his team-mates don’t know what he's going to do next.

Kamwa, a summer signing who has spent the last two years at Burton Albion, has made an instant impact for County – winning penalties against Cheltenham Town and Accrington Stanley and scoring his first goal in the win over Doncaster Rovers.

Courtney Baker-Richardson converted both penalties and was initially credited with the opener against Doncaster, which has now been officially re-assigned to Kamwa.

And the striker is hugely appreciative of what Kamwa has brought to the team over the past few weeks.

“He’s a little firework,” said Baker-Richardson. “He’s a difficult player to defend against and it’s funny watching in training when the lads have to stop him, and he starts doing his stepovers. He’s like one of those toys that you wind up and let go!

“He's brilliant, he’s been a good addition to the team and we’re happy that he’s here.”

But Baker-Richardson admits it can be difficult to know what the Cameroon-born wide man is thinking on the pitch.

“I don’t even think he knows what he’s going to do half the time, so asking me what I think he’s going to do is hard,” he said.

“It’s just about being in the right areas and he’s going to provide the assists and the flair that we need in the team, so it’s good.”

One thing Baker-Richardson is sure of, however, is that Kamwa won’t be taking penalties any time soon – no matter how many he wins.

“He’s given me a nudge in training, but, at the end of the day, it’s my ball,” said the 28-year-old.

“I’m the penalty taker, so I’ll step up every time. I’m not scared of taking penalties. The goal doesn’t move.”

Baker-Richardson’s coolly taken spot-kick restored the Exiles’ lead against Accrington before captain Aaron Wildig’s third goal secured victory.

It was the second week running that Nelson Jardim’s men have produced a much-improved second-half display to win, and Baker-Richardson said it was a result of productive discussions between the players and the head coach at half-time.

“I obviously out my two pence in,” he said. “I’m not the quiet character in the corner. I think everybody knows that!

“But it’s not just players shouting at each other, it’s talking about what we can do better.

“We want to play enjoyable football, and it wasn’t enjoyable for us on the pitch in that first 45 minutes. We had to have a group discussion and listen to each other and go out and build on that.

“We knew we had more in the tank than them and I thought we showcased that well in the second half. 

“It was a tough game, and we had to dig in at some stages, but I thought we cracked everything in the second half to earn a good win. 

“Sometimes in games you have to weather the storm and that’s what we did in the first half. 

“We may go behind in games, but we know we’ve got the team spirit to fight back.”
