Walsall's Albert Adomah celebrates

Tommy Simkin

Never had a save to make but comfortably collected everything that entered his box on his way to his fourth league clean sheet.

Comfortable 7

David Okagbue

Another solid display from the Irishman who defended Walsall’s box superbly especially when Colchester were applying early pressure.

Reliable 8

Harry Williams

A little loose in his passing in the first half but produced a solid defensive performance overall to keep Colchester attacking duo Lyle Taylor and Samson Tovide at bay.

Strong 8

Taylor Allen

Delivered at the decisive moment with a stunning long ball for Jamie Jellis’ opener.
