Colchester United boss Aidy Boothroyd has praised the work of his Swindon Town counterpart Danny Wilson, ahead of this afternoon's key promotion clash at the Weston Homes Community Stadium.

Wilson has guided the Robins to second place in the Coca-Cola League One table and led them on a six-match unbeaten run.

U's boss Boothroyd has plenty of respect for his experienced Swindon counterpart.

He said: “Danny has managed at the top level.

“He’s been in the lower leagues for a little period of time but the mark of a good manager is someone who gets the best out of his players.

“He is a very good coach and his team are certainly doing very, very well.

“They will be coming here full of confidence but also very wary of what we can do."
