Colchester United v Huddersfield Town: Town chief Clark on a mission to shatter run

LEE CLARK insists records are there to be broken as Huddersfield Town prepare to take on one of only two unbeaten sides in the Football League.

Colchester sit sixth after winning three and drawing seven of their opening 10 games.

Only Championship leaders QPR also boast a record that includes no defeats this season but Clark insists Huddersfield can change that today.

The Town manager said: "It is a long time since they were beaten at home but that was the case for ourselves before last weekend.

"As we saw, records are there to be broken and we will travel to Colchester full of confidence.

"They have drawn a lot of games but still remain unbeaten. So that means they will also be full of confidence.

"I don't think Colchester will be as direct as last year. I know John (Ward, U's manager) very well as he was a coach with England Under-21s and know he is a football man."
