You have to play the tie you are given and this is the tie we have got,” the Brighton boss said. “I am sure promotion will be the aim for Newport this year, but at the same time I am sure they will use an FA Cup run to improve that. “We want to win the game against Newport, we want to go through, so it’s important we have that mentality and that approach,” the Brighton boss said.
