Colchester
Swindon Town and Colchester United take on each other at County Ground on day 27 of the new League Two campaign. The Robins aim to make amends for a 3-1 loss to Crawley Town, with the team eyeing their eighth home win of the process. Swindon Town defeated Forest Green in their last home fixture, which is surely fuelling fans with optimism ahead of the visit of Colchester. Both McEachran and Cain are pushing for recalls to the starting XI after the duo came off the bench in the defeat to Crawley.
The U’s, on the other hand, are eager to put an end to their three-game losing run in the League Two, but given their difficulties at the back, we are tempted to put our money on the home side. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of Saturday’s clash.
Highlighted Team (Swindon):
Founded by Reverend William Pitt of Liddington in 1879, Swindon Town are an English football club which compete in the League Two. The Robins welcome their rivals at County Ground, the stadium which can hold up to 15,728 spectators (all-seated), with the team wearing red shirts and white shorts when playing at home.
Gray is the dominant colour of the club which turned professional in 1894. Oxford United are considered the team’s main rivals, but the Robins have rivalries with Bristol City, Bristol Rovers, and Reading as well. In 1969 Swindon Town did remarkably well to win the English League Cup, with the team beating Arsenal 3-1 in the title game at Wembley Stadium.
John Trollope is the club’s player with most appearances as he played 889 first-team games from 1960 to 1980. Premier League attacker Charlie Austin is one of the most notable footballers who played for Swindon Town in the past.
