Colchester United manager Danny Cowley has some current player fitness concerns. John-Kymani Gordon (concussion), Kane Vincent-Young (Ill), Harry Anderson (Knee medial ligament tear), Jack Payne (Calf injury), Teddy Bishop (Ankle injury) and Lyle Taylor (Calf injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

At the same time, Colchester United could well find it tough getting goals but we can see them converting at least once.
Accordingly, we see a fairly comfortable 3-1 win for Doncaster Rovers at the conclusion of the game.
