Colchester could remain unchanged for Bradford's visit

Colchester boss Tony Humes is likely to keep faith with the line-up that saw off Swindon 2-1 at the weekend for Tuesday's League One clash with Bradford.

The Colchester manager was delighted with his side for claiming a third-straight league victory on Saturday.

After coming away from the Swindon win without any new injury concerns, Humes could well opt not to tinker with his resources.

George Moncur and Callum Harriott fired the pivotal goals at the weekend, and Humes is keen to see both men keep adding to their tallies.

Bradford will be without Paul Anderson after the winger broke his leg during Saturday's home defeat to Peterborough.

Anderson will be sidelined for up to seven months and his absence leaves boss Phil Parkinson short of wide players as Filipe Morais and Billy Clarke are both recovering from long-term knee ligament injuries.

Parkinson named an unchanged starting line-up at the weekend but is expected to make changes after criticising his players for lacking intensity.

Midfielder Billy Knott and defender Tony McMahon are among those pushing for recalls, while Dylan Mottley-Henry is hoping to feature again after making his second senior appearance on Saturday.
