Colchester United form and stats

They also participated in Carabao Cup last season. This ended in the 1st round.

0 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses. That’s the product of Colchester United playing as the away team in the League Two this season. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Colchester have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone 16 consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Scunthorpe United game.

Colchester have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 201 minutes ago. J. Bohui was the goal scorer. Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Colchester United goalkeeper Dean Gerken is eager to challenge this, with his 278 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

Colchester are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 0-0 draw at Carlisle United. Shamal George was the team player of the game with the player rating of 8.33. The agile goalkeeper George stopped the opponent with five saves and topped it up with a clean sheet.

Ahead of that match was the League Two away draw versus Tranmere Rovers that ended 0-0.

A quick return to home after this game, as Colchester are hosting Northampton Town in the League Two only four days away.

As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Colchester United has managed 0 goals and let in 0 from 1 match.
