Stockport County
Colchester United and Stockport County take on each other at Colchester Community Stadium on day 36 of the new League Two campaign. The U’s aim to put an end to their five-game winless run, but they will have a mountain to climb against the promotion hopefuls. Colchester product Bradley Ihionvein is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute in a 1-1 draw with Salford City.
The Hatters, on the other hand, failed to win the previous four league matches, but they are still seen as favourites to beat Colchester. As Stockport failed to turn their dominance into goals in a goalless draw with Swindon at the weekend, we are tempted to place our bets on the visiting side this time out. Saints Kitts and Nevis international Ethan Bristow is back to the starting XI for the away team, with defender Ethan Pye pushing for a start 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.
