There will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Colchester United players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-1 home defeat at the hands of AFC Wimbledon.  

It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 6 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 6 goals shipped and valuable points dropped.  They have recently found some good scoring form at home, hitting the net in 5 of their last 6 matches at JobServe Community Stadium.  As defensive records go, they don't have one to celebrate, with at least 1 goal shipped in 20 of their 23 league matches this season.  

They have lost 4 of their last 6 matches, which will be a focus of concern, but their 2 wins in that period did produce some valuable points nevertheless.

Swindon Town will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 2-1 away win against Northampton Town.  

While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 4 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 6, and leading to valuable points being dropped.   Chalking up goals on the road is something their fans have become accustomed to, with them hitting the net in 4 of their last 6 matches.  They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.  

They're experiencing a disappointing spell of form, having lost 3 of their last 6 games and picking up only 2 wins.  

Jonny Williams will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Swindon Town.
