Ward to keep faith

24 January 2011 15:00
Colchester manager John Ward is likely to stick with his line-up for a third straight match when they head to leaders Brighton. Defenders Magnus Okuonghae and Brian Wilson are still missing with ankle ligament injuries so Pat Baldwin and Lee Beevers will continue in the back four. Long-term absentees Morten Knudsen and John-Joe O'Toole are still recovering from knee problems but the Us suffered no new injuries during Saturday's goalless draw at Huddersfield. Iceland forward Matt Vilhjalmsson was an unused substitute at the Galpharm following his recent loan switch and will be on the bench again. Defender Conor Powell, who joined the club two weeks ago from Irish club Bohemians, could be added to the squad.
