Last Time Out
Opposition View
Accrington Stanley manager John Coleman is hoping to build on his side's victory over Cheltenham Town last week and has said that his Accrington side will try and 'stamp their authority' on the game this weekend,
“Bristol Rovers have suffered the same as us in that they have been decimated by injuries, particularly in defence.
“They have assembled a decent squad and when they get their players back they are a handful for any team in this league. They have good attacking players who are capable of scoring goals.
“Joey’s had experience in this league before, he knows the game, he has played at the highest level, he has got good players in and they are good at taking the game to you.
“You don’t get many games when they don’t score which is testament to how well they attack and we have got to try and get our style of football onto the pitch and stamp our authority on the game."
Form Guide
Accrington currently sit in 17th place in the League One table with 10 points from their nine games this season. In their last game, a Papa Johns Trophy group stage clash with Salford City, John Coleman's side would eventually lose on penalties after a goalless draw in Greater Manchester.
Stanley's victory against Cheltenham Town last week put a stop to their run of four straight defeats in League One with the only goal of the tie being scored by Sean McConville, who is The Reds' top goalscorer this season, with four league goals to his name.
Ref Watch
Lee Swabey has been chosen as the official for Saturday's match. The last time Swabey officiated a game involving the Gas was during our 2-1 away victory against Crawley Town in March. This season, Swabey has taken charge of only one game in League One, which was Shrewsbury Town's victory over Wycombe Wanderers in August.
