Colchester United come to The Galpharm looking to leapfrog Town and keep up the late push for the playoffs, but Lee Clark will have different ideas as his side look to end Colchester’s faint hopes.
Town of course are 7 points off a current play off slot, and with two home games in succession must be looking for a minimum return of 6 points.
Colchester haven’t scored a lot of goals recently just 2 in the last 5, and suffered three straight defeats in the those games, however they do have a good record on the road and are just 2 points behind Town, in what is a must win game for both sides.

Lee obviously knows the importance of the game tonight and until he gives up hope of a play off spot, nor will I

I’ll go for a 2-0 U’s win, Yeatesy and Gillespie scoring. Up the U’s!
