Colchester United, Recent FormThe 2-1 away defeat to Newport County will not have sat easily with the Colchester United squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 10 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 10, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They're experiencing a disappointing spell of form, having lost 3 of their last 6 games and picking up only 2 wins.
On an individual basis, Joe Taylor will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 5 goals in Colchester United's 10 league games this season.
Morecambe, Recent FormWith a 1-1 draw in their last match against Accrington Stanley, Morecambe had to settle for a share of the points.
Manager Derek Adams will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 7 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 8 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They're experiencing a relativley poor spell of form on the road, having lost 4 of their last 6 away games despite notching up a couple of wins.
Goalscorer Michael Mellon will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 5 goals in his last 6 league matches for Morecambe.
A defeat for Colchester United in their last match against Morecambe was not completely unexpected, but they will have been disappointed to lose by 3 goals.
Colchester have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 4 league meetings with The Shrimps. Playing at home, Colchester have failed to score in 2 of their last 3 league games against Morecambe. In their past 5 meetings, Morecambe's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so The U's will have to take their chances when they come.
In the last 2 league meetings between the teams, Morecambe has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Colchester in 5 games.
With no real injury worries, Colchester manager Ben Garner will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Morecambe manager Derek Adams has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
