It's back to The Bolt New Lawn for FGR on Tuesday night as their first midweek game of the League One season sees the visit of Accrington Stanley to GL6.

Ian Burchnall and his side return home having picked up a well-earned point at the LNER Stadium against Lincoln City on Saturday.

Here’s all the information you need to keep clued up on Stanley as they travel to Nailsworth for the first time in five years.

IN THE DUGOUT: JOHN COLEMAN

Long-standing Accrington manager John Coleman returned for a second spell at the helm back in 2014, meaning he is currently the third longest-serving manager in the EFL.

The 59-year-old had a lengthy playing career largely carried out in non-league most notably for Macclesfield, Morecambe and Southport.

After a spell as player-manager with 7th tier side Ashton United, Coleman would head to Stanley for his first stint with the club.

And it was certainly a successful one as Coleman’s 12 and a half year tenure in Lancashire saw three promotions, as Stanley rose back into the EFL for the first time since the clubs reformation in 1968.

Coleman would depart for Rochdale in 2012 before short spells with former club Southport and Irish outfit Sligo Rovers.

But he would return to Stanley in 2014 and gain a fourth promotion four years later, with the club having stayed in League One ever since.

ONE TO WATCH: SEAN MCCONVILLE

From one long standing Accrington Stanley asset to another, midfielder Sean McConville re-joined the club from Chester back in 2015.

Born in Liverpool, McConville joined Stanley in 2009 aged 20, where he netted 14 times in nearly 90 matches before moving on to Stockport County.

A brief loan spell under Stanley manager Coleman at Rochdale came in 2012 before permanent spells with Barrow, Stalybridge Celtic and Chester.

McConville would return to Stanley and reunite with Coleman in 2015 and become a key player and character, helping the side to League One in the 2017/18 campaign.

In his seven years and counting with the Reds, McConville has now made nearly 400 appearances for the club including his original spell.

The 33-year-old has had a strong start to this season, having scored twice in League One action, as well as adding an assist to his numbers.

PLAYED FOR BOTH SIDES

Former FGR midfielder Sadou Diallo spent last season with Rovers after joining from Wolves following his release from the Premier League club.

He made 16 appearances in all competitions as Rovers won the League Two title, gaining a first promotion to the third tier.

But before arriving in GL6, Diallo had his first taste of senior football with Accrington Stanley, where he spent the 2019/20 season on loan.

The 23-year-old now plies his trade with Irish club Derry City, who he signed for back in July.

LAST TIME OUT

Accrington scored twice in added time to draw 4-4 with Burton Albion and snatch a point at the death at The Wham Stadium on Saturday.

Brewers midfielder Davis Keilor-Dunn had a quickfire first half brace in Lancashire and a hat-trick sealing goal not long after the break looked to have the game wrapped up.

But back came Stanley with goals from Joe Pritchard and Sean McConville before a fourth Burton goal through Gassan Ahadme has them in total control once again.

An excellent looping header from Josh Woods gave the hosts hope on 90 minutes before the ball fell to Rosaire Longelo in the box, which he fired home equalising in the 96th minute.

The draw left Burton still without a win in the league whilst for Accrington, the late comeback kept their unbeaten start intact.
