ACCRINGTON Stanley boss John Coleman is hoping his side can gun down high scoring Barnet and snatch three Conference points.

While the Bees bagged an impressive 4-1 win against Halifax Town last weekend, Coleman is boosted by the return of experienced striker John Durnin after a three week absence.

"We've got John back, which increases our options, and we are working with a full strength squad," said Coleman.

"While they have scored a few goals already this season, we know what we have to do and we go there full of confidence.

"I've been to Barnet in the past, I know all about their sloping ground and how that can effect games, but we are performing well and we go there in a positive mood and looking to take all three points."

However, Coleman's hopes of adding to his squad has not come to fruition after a week of working on a potential signing.

The Reds boss has been hoping to attract an undisclosed third division striker to the Interlink Express Stadium, but to no avail.

"Nothing is moving at the moment," explained Coleman.

"I have not given up hope and I am still hoping that the player can be persuaded."

However, two players have left Stanley - albeit for a short spell on loan.

Coleman has helped out former Reds star Mike Marsh, now manager at UniBond Premier Division Burscough.

The former Liverpool, West Ham and Galatasaray midfielder, who helped Stanley to the UniBond title last term, has taken midfielders Michael Knowles and Darren Connell on loan for a month.

Barnet go into the clash with Stanley without their goal-scoring hero of last weekend's comfortable win.

Underhill boss Martin Allen will be without ex-Peterborough, Swindon and Bristol Rovers striker Giuliano Grazioli.

Grazioli, who netted a hat-trick against the hapless Shaymen and has eight goals in six games to make him the Conference's top scorer this term, will miss Saturday's game with an ankle injury.

TRAVEL TO UNDERHILL: To reach Barnet from Accrington, take the M65 towards Preston, exiting at junction 1a and joining the south-bound M6. Follow the M6 until it merges with the M1. Continue south on the M1 before exiting at junction 6a (M25). Once on the M25, follow Harlow and Dartford tunnel. Leave the M25 at junction 23 onto the A1081, and follow BARNET. After 2 roundabouts on the A1081, turn right onto the A1000. Barnet's Underhill stadium is off this road on the right.
