Colchester United manager Tony Humes has made two changes to the side that lost 2-1 at Peterborough for tonight's visit of Oldham Athletic to Colchester Community Stadium.

Teenagers Sammie Szmodics and Kane Vincent-Young are brought in for injured pair George Moncur and Matthew Briggs, while Chris Porter also misses out with an ankle problem for the home side.

Darren Ambrose keeps his place in the team, while George Elokobi again has to settle for a place on the bench.

Meanwhile, Oldham manager Darren Kelly keeps faith with Danny Philliskirk after the forward's winner against Fleetwood last weekend.
