Anderson leads Colchester’s scoring charts in League Two this season with seven goals, while also leading the team in assists, having set up four goals this campaign. Jack Payne, Micah Mbick and Samson Tovide have also played key roles, contributing with goals and assists to fuel Colchester’s attack.
Meanwhile, Kai Whitmore and Courtney Baker-Richardson have been pivotal for Newport’s attack, with Christian Fuchs steering the side, combining to deliver important goals and assists. In League Two, Whitmore has been Newport’s standout scorer with three goals, and has also shown his creativity, leading the team with four assists this campaign.
