Fleetwood Town vs Colchester United Previews, Form and Standout Players

Fleetwood look to make strides in the table this weekend as they take on an out of form and ultimately poor Colchester side. The away team will look to get further away from the drop zone with a win here.

Fleetwood Town Preview

Fleetwood Town Predicted Line Up - Luke Hewitson; Kayden Hughes, Finley Potter, Liam Shaw; Phoenix Patterson, Mark Helm, Matty Virtue, Carl Johnston; Ryan Graydon, Kian Harratt, Ryan Broom

Fleetwood are 13th in the table on 21 points having played just 14 games. Two or three less than the rest of the league. A win could put them well on their way to making strides in the division.

They don’t score many goals. Yet they have found the back of the net 20 times this season. Notably we feel as though their defensive record - where they have only conceded 15 - is most impressive. Continue to keep the ball out and they could claim victory here.

Colchester United Preview

Colchester United Predicted Lineup - Matthew Ryan Macey; Ellis Iandolo, Aaron Donnelly, Ben Goodliffe, Mandela Egbo; Arthur Read, Jamie McDonnell; Owura Edwards, Harry Anderson; Samson Tovide, Lyle Taylor

Colchester sit 20th in the league on 17 points. Sitting four points above the drop they are safe for now however a win will be crucial if they are to begin pulling away.

Interestingly they have scored 19 goals this year but their 22 goals conceded is what is letting them down. If they can concede less and add to their scoring tally they could be safe in no time and who knows maybe climb the table a bit more as well.
