|
Colchester U. face a trip to Swindon Town at County Ground on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The U's will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 18 and win only 7 of the 32 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in August 2008, as the visitors ran out cosy 1 - 3 winners in a League One match.
