Coleman: "Just Another Team Standing In Our Way"

Accrington boss John Coleman says he won't be underestimating the Bulls, but he sees them as blocking their path to the play-offs.

He told Accrington's official site: "We'll make sure our players are well aware of what we're going to be up against. It'll be a difficult game but we've had them watched and I know a bit about them anyway. It'll be another challenge for us, but they're just another team standing in our way. These are the challenges we look forward to."

Coleman has midfielder Luke Joyce suspended for the trip south, while defender Alan Burton remains sidelined after surgery that has limited him to one sub appearance this term.

Midfielder Ian Craney is also fit after injury and, when asked about Accrington's record of failing to win at Edgar Street in eight previous trips, he told their official site:

"It is a tough place to go but the way we are playing at the moment you can't doubt us going there and getting a result. You do have [the results record] in the back of your mind but we have to go into the game with the same attitude as we have had for the last four or five games.

"There's always a great atmosphere there [Edgar Street] to be fair. Especially in the Conference days when we were both going for the League and there were 3,500/4,000 gates. They were always good games and hopefully Friday night will be another one."
