ACCRINGTON Stanley boss John Coleman wants his side to continue their fine away form and make a real statement of League Two intent when they travel to leaders Plymouth on Saturday.

The Reds made it five games unbeaten on their travels after a battling 2-1 success over Barnet last weekend.

And Coleman, named League Two’s manager of the month for September as Stanley climbed into the play-off picture, was pleased to see his side bounce back from a home loss against Oxford United last time out.

“Successful teams don’t let one defeat become two, so for our mental state of mind it was important to get the win,” said the Reds chief.

“But we don’t want to leave it at that. We want to go to Plymouth and try and win there too.

“Wherever we play we should be confident we can compete in the game and if fortune favours you, then you can win games.

“There are going to be games that are decided on the toss of a coin and hopefully some will go in our favour.”

Plymouth went three points clear at the top of the table after they defeated Notts County on Sunday afternoon but Coleman’s side are well placed themselves in fifth place, just four points off the summit.

And Coleman, who handed a second half debut to new signing Kai Mohamed in Saturday’s win, believes that the arrival of the Welsh striker shows the strength in depth now available at the Wham Stadium.

“We had good options on the bench today,” said the Stanley boss, who was without the injured Tom Davies and defender Joe Wright – who was on international duty with Wales Under-21s.

“We have got a strong squad and when we get Tom Davies back from injury we will be competitive all over the park.”

Coleman admitted he was disappointed to come in level at the break against Barnet, after Michael Gash had cancelled out a Sam Togwell own goal.

But Sean McConville secured the three points with a fine second half strike to leave the Reds boss a happy man.

“It was a great finish,” said Coleman of McConville’s winner. “From the angle he was at he had to be so precise from where he it and the power of the shot created the goal.

“We started off really brightly, we dominated for a good period and scored in that time which is always crucial.

“One of the problems we have is that we get complacent and we did and they go into half time in the ascendancy and we were scratching our heads wondering how that has happened.

“In the end it was a professional performance.

“It would have been nice to get the third.”
