Match Preview
Same again for Pirates Dave Penney is set to name an unchanged squad when his Bristol Rovers side host Colchester. Centre-back Jerel Ifil will continue in defence after making his debut during Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Brentford but fellow defender Dave McCracken will again miss out with a hamstring problem. Byron Anthony will also miss out as he continues to struggle with an ankle injury picked up in training last week. Midfielders Ben Swallow (ankle) and Wayne Brown also picked up knocks in training and will miss the game, although the pair are not expected to be sidelined for too long. Youngster Charlie Clough has joined Blue Square Bet Premier side Bath on a month's loan and midfielder Stuart Campbell will not be risked despite returning to training following a hamstring problem. Steven Gillespie could return to Colchester's starting line-up. The striker had scored four goals in his last six games but suffered a hamstring injury a fortnight ago. However, Gillespie returned as a substitute during the 2-1 defeat at Plymouth on Saturday and boss John Ward may now hand him a start. The Us are still without defenders Pat Baldwin (Achilles), Brian Wilson and Magnus Okuonghae (both ankle). Okuonghae is poised to have an operation on his ankle which will rule him out for the rest of the season. Midfielder John-Joe O'Toole is back in training after 10 months out with a cruciate injury but will not be risked just yet.

Match Report
Odejayi on target for Us Former Bristol City player Kayode Odejayi pushed Bristol Rovers deeper into the relegation mire as his first-half strike gave Colchester a 1-0 win. In the 22nd minute an attempted clearance from goalkeeper Conrad Logan rebounded off the back of defender Jerel Ifil and into the path of Odejayi, who ran through unchallenged to score. It was no more than Colchester deserved as Jean-Paul Kalala twice saved Rovers with goal-line clearances, while Logan made good saves to deny Odejayi on two occasions. Jo Kuffour fired narrowly over on 52 minutes following a good run by Chris Lines, but it was a rare moment of anxiety for visiting goalkeeper Ben Williams. Former Rovers' boss John Ward was able to celebrate a winning return to the Memorial Stadium, while current manager Dave Penney looks to be facing a huge task to keep the Pirates in League One.
