Swindon Town face a trip to Colchester United at Layer Road Ground on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Robins will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 16 and win only 7 of the 30 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in August 2003, with Swindon Town inflicting a narrow 0 - 1 defeat upon the U's in a League Division Two match.
