Accrington
Saturday’s football game at Colchester Community Stadium pits together Colchester United and Accrington Stanley, the two bottom-table sides. The U’s aim to make amends for a 3-2 loss to Swindon and they are surely capable of matching the Accy Stanley in front of home fans. A man to watch in the home team will be Jack Payne, who scored a brace against the Robins, while Ellis Iandolo serves a one-game ban.
The Accy Stanley, on the other hand, failed to win the previous four away games and given their defensive struggles on the road, home win should definitely be considered. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be Benjamin Woods, who scored a brace in a 3-2 win over Grimsby on Wednesday. The 22-year-old has netted four goals in total this term, while providing two assists for his teammates.
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.
