Colchester 0-0 Huddersfield

Colchester moved into their new home but were locked out by Huddersfield in a goalless draw.

The U's had the better of the first half, with Clive Platt's close-range effort saved by keeper Matt Glennon.

Mark Yeates came even closer to giving Colchester the lead when he struck the woodwork with a chipped free-kick.

Huddersfield felt they were denied a second-half penalty when Johnnie Jackson appeared to block Jon Worthington's effort with his arm.
