The pressure on Newport County manager James Rowberry increased after his side were beaten 1-0 by rock-bottom Rochdale on another frustrating afternoon at Rodney Parade.
A fifth-minute header from James Ball was enough to seal all three points for the visitors, who climbed off the bottom thanks to their second win of the season.
For County it was an eighth defeat in 13 games in League Two and Rowberry’s men were once again booed off at half-time and full-time, despite a spirited second-half showing.
