Gillingham, Recent FormIn the aftermath of a 3-0 home mauling at the hands of Salford City, the Gillingham team will need to refocus and rebuild confidence among the team.
It's been a terrible run of form for them in their last 6 games, with no goals scored and 10 conceded - ouch! The art of scoring goals has eluded them, having failed to find the back of the net for the past 6 games in a row. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
A win for Gillingham is just a distant memory, having not won a single match in 9 games.
Colchester United, Recent FormThe Colchester United squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 1-0 away defeat against Sutton United, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed.
It seems pretty certain that Matt Bloomfield will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 6 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 8 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. After failing to get on the scoresheet in 6 away games out of 11 this season, he will be looking for a bit more consistency from his forwards. This season, their defensive frailties have certainly been apparent, having conceded at least 1 goal in 19 of their 21 league games.
Colchester United will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form on the road. They've lost their last 7 league games in a row away from home and not recorded a win on their travels in 11 games.
It was no surpirise that the last time these two teams met Gillingham came out on top, winning the match 1-0.
The last 4 matches between The U's and Gillingham show that The U's have let in at least one goal on each occasion.
