No new worries for Stanley

04 April 2011 13:30
Manager John Coleman has no new injury or suspension concerns for Accrington's clash with Southend. Defender Kevin Long came off the bench during Saturday's 3-1 win over Northampton after overcoming the broken toe which has kept him out for the majority of the season. However, he will probably have to settle for a place on the bench with Coleman set to name the same starting XI that cruised past the Cobblers. Stanley are just one point adrift of the npower League Two play-off places with a game in hand over seventh-placed Gillingham. Accrington tackle Macclesfield on Friday after the encounter with the Shrimpers and Coleman believes this will be a defining week in their season. "It's going to be a long hard slog now but I've said to the players that from now until Friday these are possibly the biggest six days in my football career," he said. "Certainly for most of them it will be as well."
