AFTER a sensational start to their division two season, Colchester United have not only seen the goals dry up, but the points evaporate as well.
Strike duo Scott McGleish and Kevin Rapley were both in inspired form bagging 16 goals between them by the middle of October, but since October 23 neither has had much joy in-front of goal.
Leading scorer McGleish, the former Leyton Orient and Barnet hitman, has not managed to find the back of the net since grabbing his ninth goal of the season against Cambridge on October 20, while the last of Rapley's seven goals came three days later against Wycombe.
It is this statistic which has started to worry their fans, especially after York managed to successfully shut them out in the first round clash.
Kemil Izzet, younger brother of Muzzy, wantaway Leicester midfielder, will miss the replay with injury, as will former Gillingham defender Joe Dunne, who fell awkwardly in Saturday's 1-0 defeat by Bury.
