stepped up to take the kick. However, he sent the ball over the bar. In the 82nd-minute, Chris Porter held the ball up for George Moncur to score the crucial goal that gave Colchester a 1–0 lead. They held off a Preston onslaught for the remainder of normal time and five minutes of added time. With relegation rivals Crawley, Crewe, and Notts County, and Leyton Orient only managing a draw, the U's remained in League One by two points, finished in 19th-position and safety. Colchester's performance and result against Preston earned the club the League Managers Association 'Performance of the 'Week' award, as voted by the panel consisting of LMA chairman Howard Wilkinson, Alex Ferguson, Joe Royle, Dave Bassett, and Barry Fry.
