The2015–16 season wasNewport County's third consecutive season inLeague Two and 63rd season in the Football League. The season covered the period from 1 July 2015 to 30 June 2016. It was their 95th season of league football and 27th since reforming in 1989. They finished the season in 22nd place. The club also participated in theFA Cup,League Cup andLeague Trophy, reaching Round 3 of the FA Cup for the first time since 1986.
Former England ManagerTerry Butcher had been announced as manager in April 2015, but his tenure lasted just ten games of the 2015-16 season. On 1 October 2015 Newport County Supporters' Trust took over ownership of the club with Tony Pring appointed interim chairman.[1] Butcher was sacked on the same day, with Newport bottom of League Two after gaining just five points from the first 10 matches of the 2015–16 season.John Sheridan was appointed team manager on 2 October. Sheridan managed to get county out of the relegation places and up to 20th in the table by 12 January 2016 when he was poached by former clubOldham Athletic. He had enjoyed a ten-match unbeaten run between mid-20 October and 1 December, with an overall record of five wins, five defeats and seven draws from 17 games in charge. After three defeats and a draw in his last four games he left with County just three points above the relegation zone. Assistant managerWarren Feeney was announced as manager on 15 January. Feeney's tenure started with a win atYork City, but he only managed another five wins in the rest of the season. County had risen as high as 17th in the table following the 3–0 win atPortsmouth and 0–0 draw home toHartlepool United, but a disastrous spell of six straight defeats left them in 22nd place 11 points clear of relegation with 12 left to play for. A 1–1 draw with Oxford United combined with York's win at Portsmouth put County nine points ahead with nine to play for, but with an 11 superior goal difference. Any relegation doubts were extinguished by Newport's 1–1 draw atLuton. However the bad results continued for the remainder of the season and into the next, which ultimately cost Feeny his job. Newport lost the last two games of this season and failed to score a single goal, finishing in 22nd place.
In the first round of the League Cup, Newport travelled toWolverhampton Wanderers. Despite taking the lead in the 6th minute, the scores were level by the 15th, with County eventually losing 2–1 due to a 58th-minute Wolves penalty.
In the League Trophy Newport were home toSwindon Town. With the game finishing 1–1 it entered a penalty shootout. WithAaron Collins missing the seventh penalty andWill Randall scoring his, Swindon went through 7–6.
In the FA Cup, County were drawn away in the first round toConference North qualifiersBrackley Town. Newport were leading 2–1 in stoppage time, until former County playerCurtis McDonald headed home a 95th-minute equaliser to force a replay. That game was won 4–1 to set up a second round game with fellow League Two sideBarnet. Newport recorded a 1–0 victory atThe Hive to progress to the third round for the first time since 1986. The third-round game at home to Championship sideBlackburn Rovers started in the worst possible way for County with Rovers taking the lead thanks to an 8th-minute penalty.Mark Byrne equalised for County from 25 yards on 30 minutes to leave the scores 1–1 at half time. With 15 minutes remaining in the gameJordan Rhodes scored the winner for Rovers to send them into the 4th round.
