Manager Hayden Mullins looks to inspire Newport County as they embark on another FA Cup journey, facing Walsall in the first round.

Newport County's FA Cup history is rich with memorable moments, and manager Hayden Mullins aims to add to that legacy as his side prepares to face Walsall in the first round of this year's competition.

Mullins, who has personal experience in the FA Cup as a former finalist, is keen to channel that history into his current squad.

Newport County will host Walsall at Rodney Parade on the weekend of November 6-8.

Mullins reached the FA Cup final with Portsmouth in 2010, where they lost to Chelsea.

The manager has drawn parallels between his current team and West Ham's squad from 2006, which reached the final.

Newport's previous FA Cup runs have included notable victories over teams like Leeds United and Tottenham Hotspur.

Despite a tough season last year, Newport aims to build on their FA Cup success to generate revenue and exposure.

As Newport County readies for this challenge, Mullins is focused on the attributes necessary for a successful cup run, emphasizing the need for determination and a bit of luck. The outcome against Walsall could set the tone for their campaign.
