"We haven't won in four games now, but it's important we stay positive," Williams told BBC Radio Cumbria. "It's hard for everyone but we have to do it."
Barrow began the season with six losses in eight matches, but looked to have been pulling away from trouble with their unbeaten run.
Williams knows the importance of the Newport game and making sure the Bluebirds can get on another good streak.
"It's a massive week for us," he added. "The league is very tight, we've had an unbeaten run but we were still 15th.
"Football can change quickly, so we've got to get back winning."
