Oldham Athletic v Salford City Your Report added at 13:18:37
The U's bounced back with a Clean Sheet after conceeding 3 at Sheffield Utd the week before. U's started brightly and were playing some neat football around the back. Antonio made problems for Walsalls back four and it wasnt long before the u's put some shots to test former U's Loanie Jimmy Walker. Walsall had 3 ex Colchester Players in there team. including Lee Beevers and Ryan Jarvis. Colchester looked the better of the two teams and looked like they would score first. But when Antonio burst through on goal it was Butler who bought down the speedy winger, the ref looked like he wasnt going to give it but with assistance from the linesman on that side pointed to the spot, which then resulted in Butler seeing a red card flashed at him. Wordsworth stepped up and slotted home for his 6th goal of the season. After this Walsall never looked like scoring and just sat with all 10 players behind the ball. U's passing looked quality but only because they were under no preasure until entering walsalls final 3rd. Antonio was creating chances and Odejayi had 3 really good chances to score, 1 a header from 3 yards which he put over, a 1 on 1 saved well by Jimmy Walker down to his left and then a bullet header from 7 yards from a Wordsworth corner that could have only been reactions from the Walsall shot stopper Jimmy Walker. When Odejayi was withdrawn, Matt Heath played the final 5 minutes up front with Antonio and Duguid beside him. The Colchester back four were solid and Williams first league appearence resulted in a deserved clean sheet. Williams showed confidence through the game, and will now be competing for Mark Cousins number 1 jersey. Even though the u's thought out a comfortable 1-0 win there were a hints of boo's around the ground, but the u's will take 3pts against a team thatat back and made it hard for Colchester to play there football.
