Image source, Getty ImagesChristophe Berra (pictured right) was replaced by Adam Webster in the 81st minute.
Berra is almost certain to leave Portman Road after four years this summer, while Webster has missed the last four months with a serious ankle injury.
"It was more a gesture to Adam to put him on and let him have 10 minutes, to get a feel for it, having had such a horrible injury.
"But also, if it is Christophe's last game it was nice the fans did give him a nice ovation and he's deserved that because he's been terrific."
As a result of major project work, some lines are closed between Colchester and Manningtree from 21.45 Monday 8, Tuesday 9 and Wednesday 10 May.

Simon Bailey, Norfolk's chief constable and the National Police Chiefs' Council's lead for child protection, says the police service alone cannot deal with the problem of child sex abuse on the internet.
He said: "The police service across the UK is arresting over 400 men every month, we're safeguarding over 500 children every month, but it cannot simply be an exercise in arrest, arrest, arrest... whilst we're doing more than any other country in the world within this field, we simply cannot arrest our way out of it."
Mr Bailey says they have to look at the root cause of the exploitation, and he believes tech companies hold the key.
Quote MessageThe root cause is people are taking these images and sharing them because they feel they can do it within an environment which they believe is fairly anonymous. We're demonstrating through the number of arrests we are making that it is not."
Simon Bailey, National Police Chiefs' Council/Chief Constable Norfolk
The Chief Constable of Norfolk, Simon Bailey, says it's the internet companies that hold the key to stopping people from viewing images of child sexual abuse online.
It comes as six police forces across our region team up with the charity The Lucy Faithfull Foundation to encourage offenders to get help.
Mr Bailey, who's the National Police Chiefs' Council's lead officer on child protection, says he believes the internet has opened up a whole series of opportunities for men who've always had a sexual interest in children to now fulfill their perverted obsessions.
"It is now terribly unfortunate that that facility now exists and I would be very public in saying the web is a force for good, but there is a dark side to it and unfortunately one of the elements of that dark side is the abuse of children and the proliferation of indecent imagery."
Quote MessageThat's why it is so important that we take this multi-faceted approach and simply don't rely on the technical companies to try and eradicate it, don't rely solely on the police arresting these people - there's got to be an element of self-help, which is why the Netsafe campaign and the work of Lucy Faithfull is so important."

An RSPB, external spokeswoman said people had been visiting the reserve at Strumpshaw Fen with the aim of spotting the bird.

Framlingham's Ed Sheeran, has been talking about how being bought an album by Eminem led to him losing his stammer.
During his appearance on Desert Island Discs, he said: "My parents didn't know what the content on the album [The Marshall Mathers LP] was, and I must have been nine when it came out.
"When you're nine, and someone's saying rude stuff, you want to learn it.
"So I learnt all the album back-to-back, and he raps at such a fast pace that my stammer would go when I rapped.
"That weirdly enough was the speech therapy that cured me, listening to rap music."

Suffolk singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran has been telling the BBC's Kirsty Young about conquering his childhood stammer.
Speaking on BBC Radio 4's long-running Desert Island Discs, he said: "I did the whole speech therapy thing, going to try and get rid of the stammer, and then my uncle bought me the Marshall Mathers LP, Eminem's album, and said he thought this guy was the next Bob Dylan, his story telling was this, his story telling was that."
Ed explained that trying to sing along with the rapper helped him to overcome his speech impediment.
He also said that he's since spoken to other people, who've told him music has helped them in similar ways.

The mother of Corrie Mckeague, who has been missing since he went on a night out in Bury St Edmunds last September with colleagues from RAF Honington, has responded to news last week that the initial search of the landfill site at Milton has been completed, but the search is to be expanded.
Image source, Paper PixWriting on the Find Corrie Facebook, external page, Nicola Urquhart said: "Suffolk police finished searching the landfill cell last week.
"This week they are searching the entrance to the cell and it's believed this will be completed this week.
"Although small items such as phones have been found, we have been told that nothing that relates to Corrie has been found.
"There has been a small amount of Gregg's rubbish, but as its just branded paper bags and cardboard boxes apparently none of that can be time-dated or its original location confirmed.
"So it's not known, which shop or where it came from.
"Rubbish has been found from the Bury st Edmunds area and from the month of September 2016.
"Like all of you, we helplessly sit and wait for this area in the search to be completed.
"Thank you all, from the bottom of our hearts for your unwavering support."
