Colchester United boss Phil Parkinson was again a happy man at the final whistle as his side made it four wins out of four with a 3-2 victory over Blackpool in the Coca-Cola League One.

At full stretch - Chris Iwelumo heads for goal while team-mate Neil Danns cheers him on.

"We're on a roll," he said.

"The lads were superb in the first half, it was a tremendous performance.

"I was impressed by the high tempo, the movement off the ball and the competitive attitude shown by all the players in every position on the pitch.

"I was very happy with the set piece that gave us the lead as it was something we had been working on in training and when we scored a penalty to go ahead at the start of the second half I was feeling very comfortable."

Parkinson's only qualm about the match was the late goal from Blackpool.

He said: "We have to be more clinical, we have to be ruthless. It was a sore point, but one which has taken the gloss of what has been a superb game."
