One word describes Colchester United's opponents Huddersfield Town's start to the season - inconsistent.
The Terriers currently sit in tenth spot just above the U's, having won seven, drawn four and lost six of their 17 matches.
But they are undefeated in their last three - with a 3-1 success against Milton Keynes Dons preceding two draws - and will be in confident mood for the trip to Essex.
There can be no denying the star of the show so far - 13-goal top scorer Pawel Abbott.
The former Bury and Preston ace has scored more than twice as many as his nearest rival in the club's goal charts.
Another player in the Huddersfield ranks familiar to U's fans is former star Efe Sodje, who played for Nigeria in midweek in their Nelson Mandela Challenge match with South Africa.
However, the defender is suspended for tomorrow's game while his brother, Akpo, faces another fortnight on the sidelines with a torn thigh muscle.
