Okounghae joined Colchester from Dagenham & Redbridge in 2009

Colchester United defender Magnus Okuonghae is hopeful the U's will start turning draws into wins.

The U's are on the longest unbeaten run at the start of a league season in their history, but have drawn seven of 10 matches so far.

Okuonghae told BBC Essex: "It plays on our mind, but we have to be positive.

"It could go the other way and we start losing games and not creating any chances. We're going to be positive and hope for it to turn around."

Okuonghae scored in Saturday's 1-1 draw at MK Dons, his second goal for the club in just three games.

He added: "The morale is up there, football's a roller-coaster of emotions and we haven't lost yet, we haven't tasted that bitterness of defeat."
