Colchester United, Recent FormThe Colchester United players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Doncaster Rovers recently, that ended in a 3-1 defeat.
When it comes to attacking power Matthew Etherington will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 7 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 11 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games; however, they have scored in 9 of their 10 home games this season.
They're experiencing a disappointing spell of form at JobServe Community Stadium, having lost 3 of their last 6 home games and picking up only 2 wins.
Goalscorer Joe Taylor will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Colchester United.
Crawley Town, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 3-1 away defeat by Notts County will have left the Crawley Town squad feeling a little deflated.
It seems pretty certain that Scott Lindsay will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 8 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 9 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 17 of their 19 games.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win. So far this season, the bulk of their league games on the road have ended in disappointment, having won just 1 of their first 9 away games.
The Crawley Town travelling support have had something to shout about on the road via the goals from Danilo Orsi, who's scored 3 goals in their last 6 league matches away from home.
The previous match between these two ended without a goal and a share of the spoils, so it wasn't one to remember on that occasion.
From their past 10 away matches in the league against Colchester, The Red Devils have managed to find the net with at least 1 goal and will be aiming to keep that streak going.
This match has run out a draw on the previous 2 encounters between these sides in the league; however, Crawley may have a slight edge with them currently enjoying a 9 match unbeaten streak against their opponents.
With no real injury worries, Colchester manager Matthew Etherington will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Crawley manager Scott Lindsay has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
