Swansea turned up the pressure early in the second half with U's keeper Andy Woodman denying Nicolas Fabiano while David Romo and substitute Lee Jenkins hit the woodwork. Scott McGleish put Colchester further in front with a looping header from another Johnson cross in the 64th minute. Conlon notched his second of the game, with four minutes left, when he slotted home a McGleish cross. More detailed Report to follow !
