Chesterfield face a trip to Colchester United at Layer Road Ground on Saturday afternoon, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 17 out of 26 times.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in March 2005, the U's carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in a League One match.
