Preview: Accrington Stanley (A)

Another away day for Rovers

October 6th 2023FGR Media

Rovers complete a long week on the road with a trip to Accrington Stanley on Saturday. Forest Green will be looking to respond from Tuesday night's defeat to high-flying Stockport County.

WHAT DAVID SAID

"Accrington have done brilliantly over the years and John Coleman is a brilliant coach. I did my A-Licence with him 15 years ago

David Horseman

"They have some really good players and a really nice mixture in the way they play. Some of their short passing is really good, but they also have some big, physical players in the team.

"We're going to need to pick our moments when they come and attack quickly in certain areas. We believe we have enough to get something out of this game, but if we don't defend crosses into the box and if we're not compact - then it will be a tough match"

WHAT JOHN COLEMAN SAID

"Their away form is much better than their home form, and the way they play is suited to counter-attacking football. We have to come up with a plan to stop them and make sure we carry it out."

TEAM NEWS

There was positive news from Rovers on Tuesday night as Fankaty Dabo, Jacob Maddox and Callum Morton all featured from the bench. Before Tuesday, the trio had only made a combined total of six appearances this season - so they will be pushing for more minutes against Accrington.

Jacob Maddox

Marcel Lavinier is suspended, while Nathan Holland, Jordon Garrick, Jordan Moore-Taylor and Callum Jones remain out.
