Aaron Wilbraham's 65th-minute header cancelled out Clive Platt's first-half opener and came five minutes after midfielder Jason Puncheon had been sent off for the hosts[LNB]Di Matteo said: "I'm not surprised the players fought back because we've got a fantastic spirit and its the fourth time this season we've had to play with 10 men.[LNB]"We've got a good team but they battle hard for each other and this is a good draw for us because Colchester made it very difficult for us.[LNB]"They deserve a lot of credit for the way they played. They didn't allow us to get into a rhythm and gave us no space at all.[LNB]"I'm happy with the point after a difficult match and it keeps us going to where we want to get to. Ive not seen the sending off yet and but I will be having a look at it before we decide what to do."[LNB][LNB]
