Colchester United head coach Danny Cowley wants to maintain momentum on home turf as they host Harrogate Town tomorrow (Saturday).

U's followed up their Carabao Cup success over Reading with a 2-0 win over MK Dons last weekend.

And Cowley is aiming for more League Two points this weekend, before they welcome Premier League side Brentford next week.

"We've been pleased with the way we've started at home," he said.

"Two games and two wins, it's great that we now have another two home games. Very rarely do you play four home games back to back so this is good for us, with Harrogate and then Brentford on Wednesday, then the trip up to Accrington."

Late goals from Arthur Read and Jack Payne downed Dons to allow U's to claim their first points of the campaign.

And Cowley praised all 15 players used in that triumph, adding: "I said to Nicky about 60 minutes, physically we looked in really good condition, compared to them.

"We looked in a strong position to finish the game. Credit to the finishers who came on, to give real energy and intensity to the group was just what they needed.

"It was a team performance, a squad effort on Saturday and we're pleased to keep a clean sheet, pleased to score two goals, pleased to win late on against a very good MK Dons team."

It wasn't only the first team who were celebrating, though, as the club's academy sides also tasted success.

And Cowley was particularly pleased for young Milton Oni.

"It was a good weekend for us as a club. Our 16s beat Coventry, our 18s beat Coventry and our 21s beat Birmingham at St Andrews 3-0. We literally run all over them," he said.

"Four wins was a good weekend, a weekend we're trying to follow up.

"It was a brilliant week for young Milton, making his senior debut against Reading, got his A-level results, makes his EFL debut.

"His biggest test was after that when he had to train Sunday and play Monday for the 21s.

"Sometimes the young players can get ahead of themselves but Milton has got a real humility about him and it was no surprise he was the best trainer on Sunday and played really well at Birmingham. Good on him. He passed the test and sent a good message to our young players who see him as an inspiration."

As for the threat Simon Weaver's Harrogate side will pose this weekend, Cowley is well aware of their strengths.

"Coming through non-league, it's a unique club with Simon's dad owning the club and Simon being the manager," he added.

"I'm sure the Weaver family are really proud of what they've achieved.

"Last year they were in and around the play-offs. We played them quite early in my tenure and played well there, dominating a lot of the game. But they found a way of winning and they have that quality.

"They're a down to earth group, hard-working, play with a huge amount of energy and intensity, very competitive but also some good players as well.

"I would anticipate their ambitions this year are to try and go one better and be around the promotion places."
