JOHN Coleman hopes his Accrington Stanley side can put an end to Notts County's fine away record in their FA Cup First Round replay.

The sides drew 0-0 at Meadow Lane nine days ago and the Magpies arrive at the Store First Stadium with just one defeat on the road in all competitions this season.

They picked up a fifth successive away victory on Saturday, winning 1-0 at Coventry to leave themselves fourth in League One.

But Coleman insists that Stanley have nothing to fear against Shaun Derry's high-fliers, who have the best defensive record in their division.

"The away form they have is second only to Chelsea so we know it's going to be a tough game but our home form is quite good so we've got to hope that we can get ourselves going and lift ourselves," he said.

"They'll do well to go all season without losing away from home so let's hope that we're the ones who spoil it."

A home tie with Yeovil Town awaits the winners in the second round but the Stanley boss is refusing to get ahead of himself as he prepares his side for the replay.

"I haven't looked any further than Notts County; it would be churlish of me to do that.

"We've had some great times in the FA Cup but we've also had some shockers and we don't want to be going down that road."

After falling flat in attack during their last two matches, barely registering a shot on target in either game, the Scouser wants to see more from his side going forward.

"Maybe we have to change the system that we play in order to try and be more of an attacking threat," he said.

"I thought our build-up play was ponderous on Saturday and we've got to be better. We've not got to be more direct, but more forceful and incisive in our style of play.

"We've got to occupy the other team in their territory more than what we are doing at the moment.

"If we do that then it allows our midfield two of Andy Procter and Luke Joyce to play quite well. When they can't get out and support it makes their job a lot harder."

The Reds boss does not want his players to sell themselves short against their League One opponents in their FA Cup clash, stating that they must put on a performance for the supporters.

"What I want us to do is to play with a bit of energy, passion and attacking force so that, whatever the result is, we leave our fans feeling satisfied," he added.

"If you're going to lose and you get carried out on your shield then you can accept it and it's easier to move on to the next game.

"I'd take a diabolical performance and a 1-0 win but I don't think we're capable of that."
