Striker Jason Price spoke to us about scoring on his debut and the impact the fans had during the game shortly after full time on Saturday.
He said: "I got the first nick on the cross, then the defender got the second one, so it was my goal. I was off and celebrating like Shearer so it's definitely mine.
"When the little guy got sent off I just thought to myself, oh no. But I said it on the radio as well, the lower leagues just don't use the extra man to their advantage at all.
"Premier League teams do it properly but a lot of the lower league teams don't know how. You know that they are going to drop 10 or 15% because they always think they have the extra man. It doesn't happen that way. When they scored I was thinking that it would be hard, because they are a big side and they are good at what they do.
"We scored quite quickly though and I thought, hey, we're going to win this. Obviously when my goal went in I looked around and you could see that the boys knew it as well.
"Mind you, the people who won it for us were the fans. They got right onto the referee's back and they dented Colchester's confidence a little bit. They gave us a real lift, and we won comfortably in the end.
"All the gaffer said to me was that he wanted me to stay in and around the box. Obviously I missed two - one was a sitter and the other was a half chance - then they scored and we went down to ten men. My day was getting worse at that point. It turned right round when I set the first goal up and then scored the second, and everything lifted. The rest is history.
"My nickname over the years has been Ricochet. It's off the X-Files because they reckon that I don't know what I'm doing half the time. When we got the equaliser I have gone for the nutmeg, but it hit him, hit me and then it's gone into my path. I then heard the shout for me to square it, so I did, and he put it into the top corner. I'm just really happy that it went that way.
"It's been a very good day, and I'm very happy."
