Stanley to stick with winning side

Accrington boss John Coleman is unlikely to make wholesale changes for Cheltenham's Friday night visit to the Store First Stadium.

Stanley have won back-to-back games as they bounced back from a five-game winless streak in style and they now have four of their next five fixtures at home in east Lancashire.

Full-back Adam Buxton (hamstring) came out for Irishman Seamus Conneely in Coleman's only change last time out as they ended Southend's 10-match unbeaten run with a 2-1 win at Roots Hall.

Striker James Gray's future remains in limbo after he made a U-turn on joining Southport on loan last week.

Cheltenham have no fresh injury worries for Russell Milton's first match in full-time charge of the Robins.

Milton was in caretaker charge of last weekend's 2-1 home defeat to Bury before being handed the reins until the end of the season and he will make at least one change to that squad after Lloyd Jones returned to parent club Liverpool earlier this week.

The likes of Durrell Berry and Mathieu Manset are options for Milton if he decides to shuffle his pack in a bid to turn around a horrendous run which has seen Cheltenham win just one of their last 17 League Two matches.

They now sit in the relegation zone ahead of a clash with a Stanley side nine points above them in the table.
