Match Preview: Accrington Stanley (H)

Cotterill ready for first Rovers outing

January 26th 2024FGR Media

Steve Cotterill will be hoping for a positive result in his first game in charge of Forest Green, with Accrington Stanley the visitors to The New Lawn tomorrow.

Cotterill has only had two days on the grass with his new players at Stanley Park, but will be hoping for an immediate bounce.

Ahead of the weekend's game, here's everything you need to know about team news, tickets and more.

WHAT WE SAID:

"I'd ask the supporters to give the boys their full backing tomorrow," said Cotterill.

"Even in the smallest of moments like tackles and headers. Supporters will always cheer and jump about when we score goals, but I ask them to back the players.

"The crowd will always have favourites, but try and make the whole XI and substitutes your favourites as well. You can't do it by yourself - you always need your supporters behind you."

WHAT THEY SAID:

"Forest Green have good players and they did well against us here in the reverse fixture," said Accrington boss John Coleman.

"We were fortunate to win that game. I went to watch them against Salford and they should have won that game and I watched their game last weekend on Wyscout, and they don't look like a bottom of the table side.

John Coleman

"This is a game that they'll believe they can win and can kick start their season."
