Jabo Ibehre scored twice to boost Colchester United’s survival hopes – and then set his sights on extending their winning run.

Ibehre scored both of the U’s goals in their 2-0 triumph at Stevenage, a big win which lifted them out of the bottom four with 11 games to go.

Colchester are now two points above the drop zone in League One and after back-to-back wins, striker Ibehre feels they are moving in the right direction.

Ibehre said: “It’s about momentum and winning games on the bounce is probably key to pulling away.

“Hopefully, we can keep on picking up the results and if we do that, it will be a fine end to the season.

“I would think that another five wins would keep us safe but we want to win every game we play now."

As far as I and everyone else who support the U's are concerned, I am so glad you decided to return to us until the end of the season. Your contribution on Saturday was immense - by far the best player on the pitch! You have made me eat my words about Joe Dunne and I went home feeling ecstatic. The drive home was just fantastic and well worth the effort of going to see my beloved U's play away for the first time this season. Fantastic support and fantastic teamwork. I hope you keep injury and booking free and become the club's leading goalscorer at the end of the season - you make the difference!!! "Oh, Jabo Ibehere!"
UP the U's!!!

Totally agree with you Ozzie and it is essential we sign him on a new 3 year contract at the end of the season. His contribution and overall workrate throughout his stay with us so far has been superb and he has become worth his weight in gold in my opinion.

Refreshing to read some people on here are big enough to admit being hasty by writing their harsh comments against the us players and manager. when we lose.

'Yes' everyone is entitled to express
their views, it's good healthy debate.

But it's well to remember that young sensitive footballers have access to social media and probibly read all the praise, as well the written insults.

Usually our bad comments come back to haunt us.

well if that's the case i think all the players are rubbish and no way they can beat Hartlepool tonight.......now waiting for that to haunt me.
really though just hoping not to lose tonight would be more than happy with a draw, think 4 points from next two games would see us rise up even further up the league and away from drop zone
