COLCHESTER United played out a 0-0 draw with Walsall at the JobServe Community Stadium.
The U's extended their unbeaten run to six matches with the point but it was a disappointing affair.
The Gazette's U's reporter Jonathan Waldron rates the players' performances, following the goal-less draw.
DEAN GERKEN 7
U's keeper saved Guthrie’s first-half effort and looked assured all afternoon
RYAN JACKSON 7
Went close early on with a low shot and was denied by Roberts late on
TOM EASTMAN 8
U’s man of the match. Continued his fine form with another fine display
LUKE PROSSER 8
U’s skipper defended competently and was especially commanding in the air
RYAN CLAMPIN 8
Continued his impressive form at left-back and was typically full of energy
BEN STEVENSON 7
Made his presence felt in midfield with some important interceptions and blocks
TOM LAPSLIE 7
Did well in what was his first start for nearly a month in the heart of the midfield
COURTNEY SENIOR 6
Worried the Walsall defence at times with his skill but not consistently enough
FRANK NOUBLE 6
Had his moment in the final third but did not have too many opportunities in front of goal
PARIS COWAN-HALL 6
Showed potential on his first U’s league start but faded in the second half and was replaced
LUKE NORRIS 6
Was twice denied by Roberts in the first half but had a few chances to break the deadlock
SUBSTITUTES
JEVANI BROWN (for Cowan-Hall, 65) 6
Tried hard to create opportunities as the clock ticked down
THEO ROBINSON (for Norris, 70) 6
Did not get much of a sniff in front of goal on his U’s home debut
KWAME POKU (for Senior, 90)
Youngster looked bright and lively in the few minutes he was on the pitch
SUBSTITUTES (NOT USED): Sowunmi, Chilvers, Wiredu, Ross.
