Swindon v Colchester Match Preview

Since reaching the Play-Offs in 2019-20, Colchester have underperformed in League Two, with the Essex club finishing 20^th, 15^th, 20^th and then 22^nd last season.

Once again, it’s looking as if only an FA Cup run could bring some life to a U’s campaign.

The Cowley brothers haven’t been able to oversee the kind of turnaround they hoped, overseeing just six wins in 31 league games in charge after being appointed in January.

Danny and Nicky haven’t been helped by injuries to the likes of Samson Tovide, Teddy Bishop, Owura Edwards and Anthony Scully, the absence of a natural left-back, and the sale of striker Bradley Ihionvien to Colchester late in the window.

Nonetheless, there can still be some faith that ColU have the management team that can take the club forward, even if that hasn’t been borne out in results just yet.

The Cowley brothers are meticulously detail-driven, as well as being able to motivate people, which isn’t true of new Swindon boss Ian Holloway.

The Bristolian got the job off his career history, despite having not achieved any tangible success in 11 years, and his abilities as a speaker.

As the game has evolved, however, Holloway has been found wanting on a tactical and technical level, and might not be the appointment Swindon need – both to keep them up, and increase their chances of progression in the FA Cup.
