, as they claimed victory over their seventh-tier visitors at the JobServe Community Stadium.

Here’s a selection of views from Colchester supporters, following their team’s victory.

Tracey Welsh

We won! Waited a while for that victory. No vintage performance but mission accomplished - in the hat for the next round. A lovely calm finish from Williams but apart from that we were wasteful and lacking composure and confidence in the final third. Hopefully a turning point.

Ben Harrison

Ugly game, should've had a few more goals but ultimately the most important thing is winning so job done, let’s see who we get next round

Following Saturday's win in the first round, Colchester United are number 26 in the draw for the second round of the FA Cup. The draw will be available to watch on TNT Sports 1, HBO Max, and the TNT Sports YouTube channel at 6.45pm. Read the full news story on our website: https://t.co/zBvA0Aov63 #ColU | #WeAreUnited

Wasn’t the prettiest of games. But in a knockout competition it’s all about the result. Into the hat for round two and hopefully some confidence moving forward in the league next Saturday.

Freddy Shark

Unreal game, unreal atmosphere, great turnout and even better fist celebrations at the end!!

Mistley FC

Disappointing performance with what was our strongest team. Quality we demonstrated Vs Walsall just wasn’t there. Younger players stepping up again showing why they should be given more game time.
