Colchester United, Recent FormColchester United will not be too disappointed to take a point from their 2-2 result against Swindon Town last time out.
Manager Danny Cowley will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 12 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 8 goals they managed at the other end. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 12 games overall.
Results have been poor for Colchester recently, with 4 losses and only 1 win from their last 6 league games their current form is not going to help them move up the table.
On an individual basis, Joe Taylor will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Colchester United's last 6 league games.
Bradford City, Recent FormThe 4-2 home defeat to Crawley Town will not have sat easily with the Bradford City squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 9 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 8 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games.
It's been mixed fortunes for Bradford away from home recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 games on the road.
On an individual basis, Andy Cook is giving Bradford City's travelling fans plenty to shout about having scored 5 goals in the squad's last 6 away games in the league.
In the previous league meeting between these two sides, it was Bradford City that came out on top with a 2-1 win.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at JobServe Community Stadium, The Bantams have been unable to break through the Colchester defence and find the back of the net. Playing away from home, Bradford have conceded a goal in 3 of their last 3 league games against Colchester.
Bradford has a poor track record in the league when they visit Colchester, losing in their last 2 games.
With no real injury worries, Colchester manager Danny Cowley will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Bradford manager Graham Alexander has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
