Ward not concerned by rivals

Colchester manager John Ward took no comfort from their promotion rivals also slipping up at the weekend. The Us are still just two points off second spot despite Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Swindon, while fellow high-flyers Brighton and Huddersfield also crashed to defeats. But Ward said: "That doesn't make me feel any better. "If we'd have taken a point or won the game that would have been more pleasing to hear."
