Coach Gregory stressed out that the final score against Leyton was a
bit unfair, but still adding that there were defensive mistakes that the
team can’t afford to repeat in next crucial matches. The team looks
quite tired at the moment, as they have some important absences.
Defender Oyebanjo (20/0), midfielders Simpson (6/0) and Bradley (12/0)
missed previous matches and are doubtful for this one. Top goalscorer
McLeod (23/9) is back from suspension.
Colchester, on the other
side, comes from a 1:2 defeat at home against Gillingham, conceding two
goals within nine minutes of the second half. This was their fifth
defeat in last six matches, with the team still remaining inside the
relegation zone, but with only two points difference.
Biggest
problem for them remains the defensive lineup that makes much more
mistakes than they should, as they continue to be the worst defensive
lineup having conceded 40 goals so far. Midfielder Olufemi still remains
to be absent having no playing minutes this season at all. Team captain
and central defender Okuonghae (11/1) is also injured having suffered
recent knock, same as defensive Wright (3/0) and Kent (10/0). Midfielder
Cox (6/0) probably won’t recover on time for this one.
