Forest Green Rovers, Recent FormLosing 2-1 away to Accrington Stanley won't leave the Forest Green Rovers squad too downbeat, given the former sits a full 14 places above them in the league.
They have bagged 7 goals in their last 6 matches but haven't taken the points they might have hoped for, primarily due to some indecisive defending that has seen their goal breached 16 times in that period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but so far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 10 of their 12 games.
Serious concerns will be mounting for The Green Devils, having gone without a home league win in their last 10 games and losing the last 7 games in a row at The Bolt New Lawn.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Forest Green Rovers, Troy Deeney will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Colchester United, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Colchester United players having failed to take any points away from their recent 3-1 home defeat at the hands of Morecambe.
Manager Ben Garner will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 12 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 11 goals they managed at the other end. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They've had a dismal run of form on their travels recently, losing all but 1 of their last 6 away games, a solitary win providing little consolation.
Samson Tovide will be hoping to create problems for Forest Green Rovers in this one, having scored 3 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Colchester United.
The last meeting between these 2 teams in the league resulted in an unsurprising 0-1 win for Forest Green Rovers.
The U's have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 3 league meetings with Forest Green. Ahead of this match, The U's won't be happy with their goal stats, having failed to secure a goal against Forest Green in their last 3 meetings. In their past 5 meetings, The Green Devils' defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 1 goal, so Colchester will have to take their chances when they come.
Playing at home, Forest Green have won the last 3 and are unbeaten in the last 3 times they have faced Colchester in the league.
With no real injury worries, Forest Green manager David Horseman will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Colchester manager Ben Garner has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
