Colchester United youngster Tom Lapslie keen to win all four of the club's remaining four games in League Two

The U’s lie two points off the top seven following their 1-1 draw with already-promoted Doncaster Rovers and head to Morecambe on Monday in search of more precious points, as the season draws to an exciting conclusion.

Lapslie said: “There’s four points left and we want 12 points.

“We’re not going to go down without fighting – we want to go right to the end and be in the play-offs as much as the coaching staff and the fans.”

Colchester led against Doncaster through Brennan Dickenson’s excellent strike and skipper Chris Porter struck a post soon after but the visitors rescued a point thanks to Mathieu Baudry’s header, just before half-time.

Lapslie said: “It was a battle but it was a great performance by the boys.

“We probably deserved three points but Doncaster are a quality side and a point was probably fair, at the end of the day.

“I love those kind of games, up against good opposition – they’re a physical side but they have great players as well.

“You want to pit yourself against the top of the league and I feel as though we held our own.

“I think that any opposing team that comes here knows that we’re a quality side especially at home and we started well again.

“I can’t remember when we haven’t done that at home and we got another early goal.

“It’s a shame that we didn’t get a second and kick on but they’re a top side.

“Conceding just before half-time hit us right in the gut really because we felt that we dominated the first half.

“I won’t lie, we were a bit deflated at half-time but the boys picked themselves up again and went again in the second half.

“We could have had a penalty but it’s one of those things and hopefully, one of them will go our way.

“It’s a little bit disappointing we didn’t win but I think before the game, a lot of people would have taken a point although we were going for the three.

“They’re a great side and you want to pit yourself against those teams.”
