Swindon v Colchester
Soccernets preview:
Swindon boss Iffy Onuora is boosted by the return of Christian Roberts for the game with Colchester.
Roberts has been sidelined with a toe injury but featured in a midweek behind-closed-doors friendly and is in contention.
Charlie Comyn-Platt's thigh injury is expected to rule him out, while fellow defender Andy Gurney has been receiving treatment at parent club Swansea as he bids to overcome an Achilles problem and is a doubt.
Colchester manager Phil Parkinson will be forced into one change from his in-form side's last league outing.
Forward Jamie Cureton is unavailable due to the terms of his loan deal from the Robins.
Parkinson made 10 changes for the LDV Vans Trophy win over MK Dons in midweek and is set to revert back to the line-up, Cureton aside, that started the previous five games.
Neil Danns, who has scored twice in two substitute appearances, Richard Garcia or Gareth Williams could come into the attack.
Colchester are unbeaten in their last eight League One games - a run that has moved them up to fourth in the table.
The only doubt in my mind here is that Swindon are unbeaten in 3, although the last 2 have been draws....winning at Rotherham & drawing at Oldham & at home to blackpool. the home record is 3-2-5-15-18 & the last 5 at home 1-2-2-4-7.
Colchester are bang in form & are 8 games unbeaten & they won last time out v MK Dons & held swansea to a creditable away draw before that. Away they are 4-5-2-11-10 & the last 5 is 4-1-0-12-3 with the last 5 away being 3-2-0-6-3.
Looking at the table it should be plain sailing really but the 3 unbeaten does make me hesitate slightly, especially at this time of year. But the 6/4 available on
Colchester looks too good to refuse but I'll restrict my stakes a little I think
