The 2015-16 campaign was a tense and turbulent fight for survival for Newport County, with The Exiles ultimately finishing a nervous 22nd in League Two after cycling through three different managers. Leading the charge with vital goals was Scott Boden, whose 13 league strikes proved decisive in a desperate battle to avoid the drop. The season's one bright spot was a memorable run to the FA Cup Third Round for the first time since 1986, a small victory in an otherwise stressful chapter defined by the successful fight to remain in the Football League.
