Let's stick together.

U’s defender John White believes the club’s players need to be united in their quest to secure Colchester promotion.

Aidy Boothroyd’s side take on struggling Exeter City tomorrow, looking to get back on track following a six-match win-less run.

The U’s lie sixth in Coca-Cola League One and still within the play-off positions, with eight matches to play.

White has experienced promotion before with Colchester, having played his part in their 2006 promotion-winning season.

And he feels unity within the squad is essential, as the season reaches a critical stage.

White told the Gazette: “Now is the most important time of all.

“This is when you have to stay strong as a unit."
