Colchester United, Recent FormThe Colchester United squad will want to put the 4-1 home thrashing they received from Doncaster Rovers firmly behind them and may also need to find something to boost their confidence levels as a consequence.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 11 and seen valuable points lost. They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games; however, they have scored in 20 of their 22 played at JobServe Community Stadium this season.
Losing 4 of their last 6 matches will concern them, but they have picked up some important points by winning the other 2 of these games.
On an individual basis, Tom Hopper will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Colchester United's last 6 league games.
Crewe Alexandra, Recent FormBuilding up confidence within his squad will be a priority for Crewe Alexandra supremo Lee Bell after sustaining a heavy 3-0 home loss to Wrexham.
Having conceded 9 goals and scored just 1 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 5 points. Although failing to score in 5 of their last 6 games, playing away from home, they are currently on a run of 3 consecutive clean sheets.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
Elliott Nevitt will be hoping to create problems for Colchester United in this one, having scored 3 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Crewe Alexandra.
Last time these two teams met in the league it resulted in an unsurprising 2-1 win for Crewe Alexandra.
Colchester have scored in each of their last 8 games at home in the league against The Railwaymen. During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at JobServe Community Stadium, The Railwaymen have been unable to break through the Colchester defence and find the back of the net. In their last 3 away league games against The U's, Crewe have conceded a total of 13 goals and that's an average of 4.33 per game.
In the league, Colchester has an strong track record when they play host to Crewe, notchng up a win in their last 4 home games.
With no real injury worries, Colchester manager Danny Cowley will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Crewe manager Lee Bell has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
