JOHN Coleman is targeting Accrington Stanley’s first home win in League One to get their season off and running.

The Reds boss is satisfied with the start his players have made to life at a higher level, taking a four-game unbeaten run into tomorrow’s game at the Wham Stadium.

Momentum is building nicely five games into the new season, with seven points picked up from a possible nine on their travels.

But after their first home point in the 1-1 draw with Charlton last time out, Coleman is now eyeing all three.

“You want it for the home fans as well, but if we’re going to be successful in this league we’re certainly going to have to capitalise on home form,” said the Stanley boss.

“The signs were better against Charlton so hopefully we’ll continue that improvement against Scunthorpe and go all-out for the three points.

“We’ve made an acceptable start. A good start is two points a game so it’s an acceptable start with eight from five games. I’m sure there are teams who have got fewer points than us that wish they had them. We’ve just got to take every game as they come and look to win three points every time you play and see where that takes you at certain posts of the season.

“We’re not setting ourselves any targets, we just want try to win games and we are capable of trying to win quite a few in this league if we hit the peaks that I know we can.”

A four-game winless league run, and League Cup exit at home Doncaster, has led to the early-season sacking of Scunthorpe manager Nick Daws.

Despite guiding the Iron to the play-offs last season, his tenure ended after just five games this term, with former Bradford City boss Stuart McCall named his immediate replacement.

And Coleman admitted the managerial change makes it a tricky one for them to prepare for.

“We started our homework on them at the start of the week and that could go out of the window. The new manager might have new ideas,” said the Reds chief.

“What we’ve got to concentrate on is the personnel and how the players who are likely to play will play. You’re certainly expecting some kind of response to the new manager. I really like Stuart McCall and I’m glad he’s back in football. I think he’s a good manager and he’s a good person as well and it will be nice to lock horns with him on Saturday.

“But we’ll just be concentrating on what we can do and on our own performance. We’ll do the due diligence on the opposition but we’re certainly not worried about playing a new manager.

“We’ve got enough character in our squad to be able to raise our game as well.”

He added: “We know his style of football.

“At the end of the day we can’t govern what other teams do and we’ve got to be prepared for every eventuality whether a new manager’s in or not. It won’t alter what we do too much.”
