Colchester ended their four-match losing run with a narrow 1-0 home win over Oldham Athletic at the Community Stadium.
Ashley Vincent's second-half strike gave the U's victory in front of the lowest-ever league crowd at the club's new home. Colchester went close in the 13th minute through centre-back Nathan Clarke, who chested Brian Wilson's corner onto the crossbar and over. But Oldham had their chances too, with Reuben Reid and Cedric Evina both shooting just wide and U's goalkeeper Ben Williams making good saves to deny both Kieran Lee and Ritchie Jones in quick succession. But Colchester took the lead seven minutes after half-time when Vincent latched onto David Mooney's pass and calmly fired low past Dean Brill from 15 yards. Williams parried away Dale Stephens' free-kick late on as the U's held on for victory.
