Prediction: 1-0
Doncaster
Colchester will be aiming to build on a 2-0 win over Gillingham when they take on Doncaster in the League Two round 23. The U’s have been impressive at the back of late, with the team eyeing their seventh consecutive clean sheet and they will surely continue relying on their rock-solid defence. Talented forward John-Kymani Gordon is pushing for a rare start after scoring as a substitute in the Boxing Day win, while Arthur Read should miss out with injury.
The Donny, on the other hand, have been struggling on the travels in recent weeks, losing to both AFC Wimbledon and Walsall on the road and given Colchester’s fine form, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from the match. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team ahead of the trip to Essex.
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.
