No luck for the Swans in the first half – the Colchester keeper made a number of saves, including at least 3 from Cullen. The visitors broke away from our own attacking throw to score against naive defending.
We weren’t as threatening in the 2nd half and our play petered out with additional young subs on the pitch. Kalulu contributed very little for an hour.
Al-Hamadi had a decent first half on the left wing. Cam Evans had a reasonable game, but overall Colchester were worth their win.
They featured 36 year old midfielder Jamal Campbell-Ryce who played against The Swans regularly during the past 15 years with the likes of Barnsley, Southend & Rotherham. He’s now coaching Colchester’s Under 23.
