We said: Stockport County 2-0 Colchester United

Although Colchester have improved since Etherington came in as their caretaker manager, Stockport are clearly a cut above them in terms of quality, and we expect their mammoth winning run to continue. Challinor's side appear to be unstoppable at this level on current form and it is likely to take a better team than Colchester to stop them, particularly when playing at Edgeley Park. Read more.
