Match Preview
Wordsworth wings in to boost Us Anthony Wordsworth makes a timely return to Colchester's ranks for the New Year's Eve visit of Exeter. The midfielder, United's top scorer this term with eight goals, missed the 6-1 Boxing Day embarrassment at home to Stevenage due to a one-match suspension, but will go straight back into the starting XI. Manager John Ward must now decide how many get the chop against the Grecians, telling the club's official website: "I could pick any team for Saturday and no-one would have reason to come and knock on my door. "But with my squad as it is there will be some that will be getting second chances and they better take them." The likes of Steven Gillespie, Kemal Izzet, Ben Coker, Tom Eastman and fit-again defender Pat Baldwin will be hoping for recalls, while defender Michael Rose is to be assessed having been forced off against Boro due to injury. Winger Ashley Vincent (hamstring) is not yet ready to make his return. Exeter are sweating over the fitness of on-loan winger Chris Hackett. The Millwall man sustained a knee injury after receiving a kick in the 3-1 defeat at Wycombe on Boxing Day and will be assessed by the club's medical staff prior to kick-off at the Weston Homes Community Stadium. Daniel Nardiello, who came off the bench to replace Hackett at Wycombe, could step into the starting XI if required, while Richard Duffy and John O'Flynn are both pushing for recalls. Otherwise manager Paul Tisdale has a fully-fit squad to choose from as he looks to lead his side to their first win in four attempts.

Match Report
A happy new year for the Us Colchester saw off 10-man Exeter 2-0 to finish 2011 on a high. The Us started brightly and Anthony Wordsworth and Ian Henderson both went close in the early stages. The hosts early dominance paid off when they went ahead after 16 minutes through Wordsworth, who confidently swept home a low shot from the edge of the area from Henderson's pass, after Andy Bond had pounced on Troy Archibald-Henville's error. Colchester keeper Ben Williams denied Chris Hackett and then Jake Taylor from point-blank range, as Exeter pushed before half-time. The Grecians started well after the break, with Taylor's deflected shot sailing inches wide and Williams denying David Noble's shot with his legs, while Taylor drove just wide. But Bond doubled Colchester's lead just after the hour with a fine finish from 15 yards, following Steven Gillespie's run and pass. And Exeter's hopes were dashed two minutes later when Danny Coles fouled Karl Duguid and was sent off for denying a goalscoring opportunity. The struggling Grecians battled gamely after that, but Colchester were worthy winners.
