Colchester have made it a fortress under manager and City fan Geraint Williams. The Welshman took over when Phil Parkin left for Hull in the summer.
Williams recovered from a run of 5 straight defeats at the start of the season and now sees his side in the 10 ten.
The five teams to leave Layer Rd empty handed in the last couple of months have been Derby (4-3), Q.P.R. (2-1), Ipswich (1-0), Sheff Weds (4-0) and last Saturday Southampton (2-0).
