COLCHESTER United had to once again be content with a point after drawing 1-1 with Morecambe.

Frank Nouble's first-half strike was cancelled out by Adam Phillips' equaliser, as the spoils were shared at the Globe Arena.

The U's finished the game with ten men, after Ryan Jackson was dismissed late on for two bookable offences.

Made a good save to deny Slew; performed well in testing conditions

RYAN JACKSON 6

Was sent off for the first time for Colchester after two quick-fire bookings

TOM EASTMAN 7

Long-serving centre-back defended well throughout on his 350th U's appearance

LUKE PROSSER 7

U’s skipper won everything in the air and relished his battle with Stockton

Provided the cross for Nouble’s goal and showed good energy levels at left-back. Booked

HARRY PELL 7

Went close with a deflected first-half effort and saw his free-kick saved by Halstead. Booked

BEN STEVENSON 7

Kept things ticking over well in midfield in conditions not ideal for passing

CALLUM HARRIOTT 6

Had his moments but only saw glimpses of his talent and skill before he was replaced

KWAME POKU 7

Was unlucky to see his shot palmed onto the post by Halstead on his return to the side. Booked

U’s man of the match; showed great anticipation to score and was denied by Halstead late on

Was denied by Halstead early on and also went close with a deflected effort
