Colchester   1 - 0   Bristol Rovers

Colchester 1-0 Bristol Rovers

Colchester 1-0 Bristol Rovers

Kevin Lisbie struck a first-half winner as Colchester saw off Bristol Rovers.

Colchester started well and Magnus Okuonghae had a header saved before Anthony Wordsworth went close.

Lisbie then missed his kick when well-placed but five minutes later he fired home what proved to be the winner after linking up well with Phil Ifil.

Mikkel Andersen denied both Ifil and Marc Tierney in the second half but in the end, a single goal proved enough for the high-flying Us.


Colchester United manager Aidy Boothroyd told BBC Essex:

"I think that is a good a performance as we've had this year. We've played football and we've done the right things at the right time.

"We turned them around when there was spaces behind them."

Bristol Rovers manager Paul Trollope told BBC Radio Bristol:

"We were very poor in the final third today, this has been as poor as we've been in terms of creation of chances.

"I don't think their goalkeeper had a shot to save. At no stage of the the game were we good enough to create or score a goal.

"It's not been a problem all season, but it was basically a catalogue of wrong decisions, poor movement and poor quality."
