Match Preview

As you were for Stanley Accrington boss John Coleman has no fresh injury or suspension problems ahead of the clash with Stockport. On-loan Burnley centre-back Kevin Long returned to the squad at the weekend having recovered from a hamstring injury, but is expected to be among the substitutes again following the clean sheet at Lincoln. Forward Rory Boulding will be unavailable as he serves the second game of three-match ban for the red card he received in a reserve-team game on February 16. Right-back Leam Richardson is doubtful once again with the groin problem that has seen him miss four consecutive games. Midfielder Sean McConville is pushing for a starting place, though, after replacing Charlie Barnett at half-time against the Imps. Stockport caretaker boss Peter Ward will check on the fitness of defender Mansour Assoumani.. Assoumani is rated as doubtful after he picked up a knock and left the field in the closing stages of Saturday`s 2-1 home win over Oxford. His replacement, Greg Tansey, scored the winner in added time and could now earn a starting role should Assoumani fail to recover in time. Striker Ryan Doble is still suspended as he serves the final game of a three-match ban and defender Danny O'Donnell could miss out again due to injury. County remain bottom of the table but Saturday`s win breathed new life into their survival mission and left them just one point behind third-bottom Burton.

Match Report

Spot-on Edwards keeps Stanley in hunt Defender Phil Edwards fired home two penalties in a 3-0 victory to boost Accrington`s promotion charge and plunge bottom club Stockport deeper into relegation trouble. Sean Hessey had given Stanley a 28th minute lead when he fired home a 25-yard free-kick, although keeper Ian McLoughlin got a hand to it and will have felt he should have kept it out. Seven minutes later defender Aaron Brown jumped in the area and handled Sean McConville's corner and Edwards struck his first penalty straight down the middle. Brown was involved again when he lost the ball in the area after 42 minutes and fouled McConville. Edwards this time fired to the right as he took his tally of goals to 10 for the season. Stanley looked to inflict more misery on the bottom club after the break but a makeshift County defence held firm, while Brown had their best chance with a header but it was tipped over by Alex Cisak. Accrington have now won four of the last five games and are seven points off a top seven spot with games in hand.
