Crawley Town v Colchester United team news: Reds unchanged from Swindon but former Hibs striker returns on bench

The Reds are winless in six league games but are unbeaten in five games at home. They currently sit 21st in the League Two table on 18 points – a win against Colchester could see them go up to 19th.

And Scott Lindsey, who said a change of fortune is top of his Christmas list, has gone with the same side that performed so well at Swindon, despite the 1-0 loss.

But one positive bit of news is that Harry McKirdy has returned to the matchday squad on the subs bench.

Danny Cowley’s side are 11th and beat Newport County 4-1 last week. They remain unchanged from that side
