Colchester boss Geraint Williams:
"We bossed the game and had some great chances but we didn't take them and got punished at the other end," he said.
"We deserved a point. We played some fantastic football in the second half and if we continue to play like that, the results will come.
"What we have learned in this division is that if you don't take your chances, you get punished."
