Colchester United boss Tony Humes confident of avoiding the drop

Colchester United boss Tony Humes says that his side can avoid relegation on the final day of the season.

Colchester United manager Tony Humes has insisted that his side is capable of avoiding relegation following their 1-1 draw with Swindon Town in League One.

The U's, who lie in 22nd place in the table, could beat the drop if they defeat Preston North End on the final day of the season, and Humes is optimistic about their chances.

"It's not over yet and we should be confident that we can beat Preston, if we play in the same way," he told reporters.

"I thought that we were outstanding all through the game in terms of how we went about it, the quality we showed and the opportunities that we created.

"We just didn't finish them off but the work rate and effort was excellent."

Jacob Murphy scored the opening goal against Swindon in the first minute, but the Robins drew level in the second half through Ben Gladwin.
