Colchester United were held to a 0-0 draw by Brighton and Hove Albion tonight.
The U's struggled to break down a well-organised and lively Seagulls side, at the Weston Homes Community Stadium.
Colchester goalkeeper Ben Williams denied both Alan Navarro and Inigo Calderon in the first half, as the U's struggled to make an impact.
Colchester manager Aidy Boothroyd sent on Kevin Lisbie and Ashley Vincent for the injured John-Joe O'Toole and Clive Platt at half-time, in a bid to find a breakthrough.
But opportunities were hard to come by for the U's and Andrew Crofts should have scored for Brighton when he sent a header wide when unmarked.
