Prediction: 2-0
Colchester
Bristol Rovers and Colchester United face each other at Memorial Stadium in the League Two round 37. The Pirates aim to build on back-to-back wins over Crawley Town and Harrogate, and they are likely to adopt yet another attack-minded approach. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Wales international Aaron Collins, who scored a brace in the last league match.
The U’s, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Port Vale and Scunthorpe. Colchester are on the right track to secure the League Two survival, and seeing that they are safe for now, we believe that home win should be considered. Bristol Rovers defenders should have talented midfielder Noah Chilvers at bay as he scored a brace in the last league match. In the first half of the season the two sides played out a 1-1 draw.
Highlighted Player (Glenn Whelan):
Probably one of the most underrated footballers in Premier League history, Glenn Whelan was born on 13 January 1982 in Dublin and he went on to enjoy a very successful career on club and international level.
Following spells with Manchester City, Bury and Sheffield Wednesday, the defensive midfielder found his peace at the Britannia Stadium, making over 250 Premier League appearances for Stoke City and keeping his place in the side under both Tony Pulis and Mark Hughes. Predominantly focused on doing the dirty defensive work and helping out the back four, Whelan never quite made the headlines for his style of play or quality of his displays, but remained an important player for both club and country.
The midfielder has so far made over 70 appearances for the Republic of Ireland national team, wearing the captain’s armband on several occasions, and starting all three group games at the Euro 2012 finals, while helping The Green Army qualify for the Euro 2016 as well.
Highlighted Team (Colchester):
Founded in 1937, Colchester United are a professional football club that compete in the League Two, the English fourth tier. The U’s welcome their rivals at Colchester Community Stadium, the venue which has the capacity of 10,105 people.
Colchester United are well known for their blue kit, but white is the dominant colour of their away kit. The U’s have an official fans association known as the CUSA. Colchester supporters consider Wycombe Wanderers the club’s fiercest rivals, but the rivalries with Southend United and Ipswich Town are big as well. Colchester United did well to win the FA Trophy in the 1991/92 season, with the team clinching the Essex Senior Cup trophy in the 2009/10 season.
In December 1961 the U’s recorded their biggest win, with the team rolling over Bradford City 9-1 in the Fourth Division. Colchester United repeated the success 44 years later as they hammered Leamington 9-1 in the FA Cup round 1.
