Ward to keep the faith
Colchester are likely to be unchanged for the visit of Exeter.
The Us ended a four-match losing streak with a 1-0 win over Oldham in midweek and boss John Ward has reported no new injuries.
On-loan Ipswich defender Tommy Smith remains on international duty with New Zealand so Matt Heath keeps his place at centre-half.
Pat Baldwin is still missing with an Achilles injury and fellow defender Magnus Okuonghae has been ruled out for the season following ankle surgery.
Midfielder John-Joe O'Toole has made four appearances as a substitute after almost a year on the sidelines with a cruciate injury and will be on the bench again.
The Us are currently in 10th place in the table, 10 points off the play-offs.
