Ryan Clampin’s 50-yard strike saw Colchester United to a 1-0 Leasing.com Trophy victory over the Blues at the JobServe Stadium which sees the U’s top the group. A dull game appeared to be going nowhere when Clampin hit his long-distance fortuitous effort to seal the three points and a home tie in the next round while Town will face an away trip.
Town boss Paul Lambert says he doesn’t see the point of the Leasing.com Trophy and confirmed he will field a much-changed side in the Blues’ first ever game in the competition at home to Tottenham’s U21s (KO 7.45pm).
