Ian Holloway says his side showed 'great character' to fight back for a draw against Colchester United at the Walkers Stadium on Saturday.

Despite his side having the majority of the possession, the Foxes went into the final stage of the game a goal down after Kevin Lisbie had given the visitors the lead.

But a last minute leveller from substitute Iain Hume meant that it was honours even on the day.

The draw moves City up to 21st position in the table with three games remaining. 

Holloway said: "We showed great character to snatch something out of the fire today. We dominated the play, but we have got to do more in front of goal. You just cannot miss chances like we are missing.

"We created more than enough chances to win the game again today. DJ Campbell has got a great cross in during the first half and that should be a tap in.

"The boys were a little bit edgy and we weren't moving as fluently as we can. We have had 15 shots and only scored one goal. The frustrating thing is Barry Hayles' header in the second half was not offside and should have been a goal.

"People might be thinking that a point from that game isn't good enough. But if we can win our next two then we will take some stopping.

"We have gained a point on Coventry and we have still got Sheffield Wednesday and Barnsley to play. We have got to show character."
