COLCHESTER United were held to a 1-1 draw by Newport County, on Friday night.

U's fans have their say after their side came back to claim a point at the JobServe Community Stadium.

Game of 2 halves. #Colu probably just about earned a point. Fans getting on at Dobra & Jasper, they were off it tonight but they've been brilliant in the last month. We've almost become too dependent on them. Skuse excellent. Sears superb finish. Judge putting it on a sixpence.

David Clayton

Disjointed performance, so overall pleased with a point. Another good finish from Sears, Skuse a class act in the middle. Could still afford to be braver in final third but a decent couple of games after the disappointment of Stevenage.

David Fincham

Looked like 3 games in a week caught up with a few players. But 4 points from two very good teams is positive. We look better going forward now, but still our keeper was man of the match and that says a lot. Good point and we move on with a rest before next game

Duncan Stonehouse

Would have taken a point at 7.45; played some good stuff at times but seemed a bit off the pace - Dobra and Jasper both didn’t have good nights; not sure why Coxe is playing. But on a positive, thought Skuse was excellent again and Sears is in great form up top

Probably deserved to lose based on the first half. Improved second half. No point lumping crosses in the box at the shortest front 3 in the division.

U's were lucky to keep it down to 1, Jake Turner making some excellent saves; you can see Newport making the playoffs.

Freddie was always likely to score, just a real pity he couldn't make it 2; would have been a good tonic on a chilly night in S3! Draw a fair result.

Si Collinson

We have sadly got to the stage where a point from a losing position is counted as a good result. We are accepting mediocrity. The tactics were again poor and the subs made little sense and why play balls into the box expecting our shorter players to win them? Mullins 5/10 at best

Good point for the U's. Showed great character to fight back into the game. Passing is below par and so wasteful. Would be nice if we stopped having to rely on man of the match performances from our keepers to get something from a game.

Tom Flint

Mixed game tonight, we weren’t at our best but still managed a draw against a top 10 side. Jasper was heavily marked all night whenever he got the ball there were 2 sometimes 3 players straight on him. Skuse was very good as was Turner but overall, solid team performance

Dave B

Poor 1st half, slightly better 2nd. Improved once Judge came on & started dictating. For all their talent Chilvers, Jasper & Dobra want to do too much & sloppy in possession. Not sure if we work on crossing or passing in training as the final ball has been terrible this season

Tudwick Siding

A right back short of being a good team. We were shocking at the start of the season. Ok. Experienced players are now finding their feet at this level and all look very good.

Was very very lucky to draw that tonight the only reason though we have got anything out of that was because of Jake Turner who was brilliant but it's a missed opportunity because we can't go on a winning run and it's just not good enough!

John S

A very very lucky draw dobra and Coxe were really really poor I don’t understand how they’re in the starting 11

But I will gladly take a point sears in on another level at the moment hopefully this is a turning point
