Colchester 2 Walsall 1 - George Bennett analysis

Transcript

00:00Hi Sadler's fans, I'm inside the Jobserv Community Stadium where Walsall have fallen to a 2-1

00:08defeat against Colchester United. That's now the third successive away loss in League

00:15Two. Four without a win and three defeats in the last four games for Walsall. What was

00:23a 12-point gap as they headed to Bradford City a fortnight ago. It's now been cut to

00:30six with Knox County beating Morecambe 2-0. It was quite a drab first half to be honest.

00:39We were at Edwards, it was the biggest threat for Colchester and really had the ascendancy

00:45in that foot race with Oshinmiken to find it difficult to cope. He was maybe fortunate

00:50to escape unpunished for a push inside the box on Teddy Bishop in the first half. Possibly

00:56would have been soft but it was definitely a risky move inside the penalty area. Neither

01:02goalkeeper tested in the first half. Charlie Lakin did flash one wide, Anderson also curled

01:09one wide early on for Colchester and then after the break Colchester probably started

01:14the best side but it was Walsall who hit the front 65 minutes on the clock. Charlie

01:20Lakin buried a low, powerful finish into the bottom corner for his first goal since September.

01:27Oshinmiken to dart him round down the right hand side, fed the ball into the box and Harrison

01:33with his back to goal who was making his Walsall debut following his deadline day loan to it

01:38from MK Dons, teed up Lakin to funder the wall. Beyond the reach of Matt Macy but that

01:45was 65 minutes on the clock but four minutes later Teddy Bishop fired Colchester level

01:52and then we were at Edwards, cut inside afforded far too much space and bent the ball into

01:57the far top corner. Walsall's misery was compounded when Taylor Allen was shown a second yellow

02:02card for an off the ball incident with Jack Payne and yeah I mean you know talk about

02:10Allen's maturity though he offered to come out face the media and take responsibility

02:15for that but yeah it's a disappointing trip for Walsall here in Essex.
