Colchester United were beaten 2-0 at Newport County, on Saturday afternoon.
After a goal-less first half, goals from Jamille Matt and substitute Cameron Pring after half-time sealed the U's fate, at Rodney Parade.
Frank Nouble had an effort cleared off the line and Courtney Senior saw a deflected strike come back off the bar in the second half but the U's were beaten.
Here's a selection of comments on social media after Colchester dropped to fourth in League Two, with the defeat.

Disappointing today. Matched them until they scored. Easy to blame the officials but the referee was so so poor. Hopefully we can pick up 3 points at home next week #colu

It was away from home, weāre carrying injuries & theyāre a strong side ... BUT remember itās mid November & the #ColU are in the top play off place. Not bad at all from where Iām looking! Next up Exeter at the fortress. Bring it on!
Bryn Griffiths
Seems weāve now hit our mid-season sticky patch with injuries, suspensions & dips in form of certain players, however the key thing is have we got the grit & determination to battle through it, pick up results & go again when weāre back to full strength. Fingers crossed
Gareth Barnes
Beyond disappointing. Squad never had the required depth and that's starting to show.
Still, there's quality in there. We need to pick up some good results between now and the end of the year, keep in touch with the automatic places and then do some good business
Andy Hunt
#ColU strongest squad weāve had in years all of a sudden ripped apart by injuries, suspensions and to a lesser extent, international call ups too! Now prosser suspended next week?
Duncan Stonehouse
Very poor and disappointing. Now stuck in the traffic trying to get out of Newport #happydays #colu
Michael Welsh
What a day. The things we do for the love of the game. Over 9 hours to get back from Newport š± if it could happen it did on that journey. Oh well Carlisle away should be a breeze now

Tough game to listen to that didn't really do much or create anything by sounds off it feel for our travelling fans having to watch it #ColU

Tough match but canāt help but think thatās the trouble getting into the losing habit, even if it was 2 cup competitions we didnāt want to be in. #colu
