      Colchester miss opportunity to close on the top two

      Colchester's quest for automatic promotion suffered a blow after they were held to a goalless draw by Brighton at the Weston Homes Community Stadium. The Seagulls produced a competent display to extend their unbeaten away record to seven matches and leave Colchester five points behind second-placed Leeds. Brighton defender Adam El-Abd had to clear from near his goal-line early on following Clive Platt's low cross. But it was the Seagulls who looked more threatening and Us goalkeeper Ben Williams made a smart save at his near post to deny Alan Navarro, before the visitors claimed a penalty when Glenn Murray tangled with Magnus Okuonghae in the area. Brighton keeper Peter Brezovan saved John-Joe O'Toole's hooked effort before Williams was called into action again just before half-time to save well from Inigo Calderon at his near post. Colchester manager Aidy Boothroyd made a double substitution at half-time but Brighton continued to threaten, with Murray and Andrew Crofts both going close. However, neither team was able to break the deadlock and the spoils were shared.
