COLCHESTER United salvaged a point from their match at Leyton Orient after scoring two late goals to secure a 2-2 draw, on Saturday afternoon.
The U's were backed by hundreds of their supporters at Brisbane Road, as goals from Noah Chilvers and Connor Hall rescued a point for Ben Garner's side.
Colchester fans have their say on a spirited comeback by their side, in East London.

Before our first goal, dreadful. Only player performing was Tchamadeu but the determination to get 2 goals back so late on, is forgivable. Hopefully the start to the Garner era.
Georgina Davies
We were definitely the better team ,the last 10 minutes was better than the whole game, we should play like that all the time. Deserved that point, just missed out on that last attempt
David Clayton
Overall deserved a point. Again,basic errors cost Got into some good areas but final ball was incredibly poor. Great attitude to keep going against the best team in the division.Hall had some standout moments but Ashley was quietly effective in midfield.
Allen Smith
It’s a great comeback and proves to me there isn’t a lot in the league ,hopefully the I’s can kick on with two home games
Danny Binks
We had some good spells but still look vulnerable at times. Worried that Hopper isn’t fitting in and have no suitable alternatives but hopefully we can address that later. Just need to survive this season. Again! The boys showed great spirit today. Pleased for the traveling fans
Sean Kelly
I thought we were the better team all day,just needed and need a bit of luck in front of goal
Tyler Greenway
Terrible performance for 89 minutes. 6 minutes of fight which earned us a point. What a goal by Noah chilvers btw
Simon Fitzgerald
Superb but our right back is shocking Sean Good first 20 mins in first half, excellent last 5 minutes
Jimmy Mac
Great resilient performance. Impressive start. Heads could have dropped after conceding soft penalty to leaders. 2nd goal should’ve been nail in coffin. Perfect header to get 1 back. Calm head from Chilvers throughout and fantastic goal. So close to win with last effort!

Goals like buses, wait hours for one and two arrive in quick succession. Great test of character for the lads, passed with flying colours.
