COLCHESTER United claimed a vital three points against Tranmere Rovers, on Saturday afternoon.
Junior Tchamadeu's last-gasp winner sealed the U's victory, at the JobServe Community Stadium.
Colchester fans have their say on an important win for their side, which took them 11 points above the League Two relegation zone with seven games remaining.
Simon Wilding
Poor game, lots of effort but little end result until a quite superb goal from Junior to snatch a probably undeserved win. Brilliant result which is all that matters, especially taking into account all the other results.
David Clayton
Negative is that we do not have any attacking identity BUT let's focus on positives. What a strike, what a moment. Defence is looking solid, particularly when Dallison plays. Coxe had a lot of stick early in the season but he's been brilliant recently & deserves recognition.
Michael O'Brien
Massive three points and a lot of luck. Again largely uninspiring performance but will take winning ugly at the moment.
Jake Furby
Scrappy game but we did dominate and deserved the win. Hannant was woeful today so good change from Wayne bringing Tchamadou on who gets us the winner.
Tony C
Huge 3 points today. Fantastic finish from Junior and kept in the game by @shamalgeorge with a world class save. Poor game overall but hopefully safe now, next season things need to improve massively, the last two seasons have been tough big time on the fans and the club.
Si Collinson
Felt so good to get a run with the last kick of the game. Topped with Oldham losing at the death as well. Three much needed points that should see is over the line. BUT let that not hide the fact we only had one shot on target all game.
Code-Zero
Very important win but It’s the points on the board that matter now not the performances. Let’s get to safety and the season end. We desperately need a complete restructure of the squad and management team as we are heading nowhere, either with this squad or coach.
Tracey Welsh
Massive 3 points with safety all but assured. Excellent @shamalgeorge save and wonder last minute Junior strike in front of the South Stand. Commendable effort and endeavour. Must learn from 2 lean seasons and recruit wisely and build for next season and aim for top half minimum.
Ben Harrison
Think we deserved the win played with a lot of confidence throughout blatant pen missed by the ref first half, amazing save by George and a wonderful winner from Junior moments like that are why we all keep coming back for more
David Fincham
3 points from 6 against FGR and Tranmere, take that any day of the week. We battled all game and great to see every player giving so much today. Special shout out to Shamal and Junior but whole team were brilliant. Hope Dallison injury is not too serious.
Ian Fairhead
One shot on target was enough to win. Fantastic first league goal for Junior. Did ColU deserve to win, probably not but they did. Tranmere huffed & puffed & argued with the officials all game instead of getting on with the game.
Tom Flint
Fantastic team performance today - great saves from @shamalgeorge to keep us in the game, thunderbolt strike from Junior, warrior performance from @brendanwiredu in the middle and Coxe was my MOTM for me! The passion from the team at the end was brilliant to see!!!
Adam Walker
Huge 3 pts!
Sir ColUtdJaffa of Essex
Fantastic result, brilliant goal. Three points and a clean sheet. Downside is even with 2 up front we have nobody getting on the end of the balls going into the box, and we give opposition to much time on the ball without pressuring them.
Anthony Clachan
One shot on target one goal that's all that matters and 11 points clear of safety surely that should be ok to keep us up in the football league up the U's
