Stanley boss Coleman set to ring changes for Cheltenham cup clash

Posted Thursday, November 29, 2018 by PA

Accrington boss John Coleman could make changes for the FA Cup second-round clash with Cheltenham after seeing his side go six league matches without a win.

Stanley have slipped away from the top six, with Tuesday’s last-gasp defeat by Wycombe the latest blow, although Coleman’s side were unfortunate not to win after taking the lead and creating a host of good chances.

Coleman preferred Sam Finley to Offrande Zanzala and must decide whether to stick with the same forward line, while loanees Nick Anderton and Connor Hall are ineligible.

Scott Brown was only on the bench on Tuesday after returning from a one-match ban while Andy Mangan and Harvey Rodgers could come into contention after recent injuries.

Cheltenham continue to wait on Jacob Maddox.

The on-loan Chelsea midfielder again missed out on the midweek loss to Bury with his hamstring issue but is close to full fitness.

Forward Kelsey Mooney was forced to sit out the same game after picking up a slight niggle but is expected to be fit.

Johnny Mullins is waiting for his chance after recovering from being knocked unconscious and suffering a broken nose against Ebbsfleet in the last round.
