Cheltenham are quickly gaining a reputation as the draw specialists and after 17 games played they have already shared the spoils on nine occasions. That amount of draws has been especially evident of late as they have drawn five of their previous eight games and three of their previous four on home soil.

Visiting Whaddon Road is a Colchester side who are woefully short of form and after defeat at the weekend they have now dropped into the relegation zone. Boss John McGreal will be hoping that his side will spring into life but he knows they will be hard pressed to do it on Tuesday as they have the joint worst away record in the division.

Even though Colchester have lost their last four away games they can take comfort in the level of opposition they have played during that spell. Plymouth, Carlisle and Doncaster are the top three of the division and on Saturday they narrowly fell to defeat to a Yeovil side who have been resurgent in recent weeks.
