Same again for Stevenage Stevenage have no new injury or suspension problems ahead of the visit of Colchester. Boss Gary Smith has some players nursing knocks but they are nothing more than bumps and bruises and the former Colorado Rapids coach expects to be able to choose from the same pool of players. Smith made one change to his starting line-up against Hartlepool on Saturday, recalling on-loan striker Patrick Agyemang as Craig Reid dropped down to the bench. Reid, along with midfielder Robin Shroot, is most likely to be recalled if Smith opts to make any changes. Midfielder Jennison Myrie-Williams and on-loan defender Jamaal Lascelles are also options. Boro's goalless draw at Hartlepool saw them move to within one point of the play-off positions. Colchester boss John Ward will again evaluate whether changes are necessary to his in-form XI for the play-off showdown. Ward has made just the one switch in United's last five games - impressive wins over Preston and leaders Charlton followed by highly respectable draws against Wycombe and high-flying pair Sheffield United and Huddersfield. Andy Bond has been the only new face in Ward's XI over the last two matches having replaced injured midfielder Martin Rowlands (groin), who will again be assessed. The ninth-placed U's were just seconds away from victory against Huddersfield on Saturday but for an injury time own goal from Magnus Okuonghae and Ward may well opt to name an unchanged XI against Boro, who are only one place and five points ahead in a congested race for sixth spot. However, he does have plenty of attacking options should be wish to tinker. Gavin Massey returned to the club on Friday morning on a month-long loan, replacing fit-again winger Ashley Vincent on the bench, while fellow striker Freddie Sears extended his stay until the end of the season.
