History of the Colchester United v Swindon Town fixture
Swindon Town face a trip to Colchester United at Community Stadium on Tuesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Robins will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them ending up on the losing side in more than half of the games played between the two.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Community Stadium was just last season, in December 2011, with Swindon Town inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the U's in a F.A. Cup match.

Recent respective form guides
Colchester United's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While U's have scored 7, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
Swindon Town's away form is none too clever either, collecting 2 wins and 3 draws from the last six. Just 6 goals have scored in these games, though to be fair only a measly 3 have been let in at the wrong end.
Colchester United are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 29 points from 29 matches.
Swindon Town are just outside the promotion places, in 4th, having taken 51 points from 29 games.
