STANEY boss John Coleman believes his side are on the cusp of a goal glut as they bid to end their winless home start against AFC Wimbledon on Saturday.

The Reds have paid for missed chances in recent weeks, and did so again in a 1-1 draw at Fleetwood last time out.

Despite their profligacy, Coleman’s men are 10th in the early-season table and unbeaten in League One since the opening day.

But the boss is desperate for a more clinical streak in front of goal, and he believes when his front players get it right it could open the floodgates.

“No-one means to miss them on purpose but if we keep on creating chances eventually they will go in,” he said of Stanley’s chance coversion rate, which is one goal for every 15.5 shots over the last four games.

“But someone is going to get a hiding from us. We are going in the right direction.

“Myself and Jimmy were goalscorers, we are goalscorers. It doesn’t leave you. I just wish we could put some of our goalscoring genes into our players.

“We know we have it, we have the league’s leading goalscorer last year (Billy Kee). Connor Hall is a poacher, and Ossie (Zanzala) just needs that ball to bounce for him and if it does I am confident he will get a lot of goals this season.”

Missing chances is one trait Stanley have developed in recent weeks while going behind, as they have done in seven of eight league games, is another.

And it is one that Coleman wants to stamp out.

“We have got to be careful that doesn’t become a self fulfilling prophecy of we always go behind. We will work on it in training but we have to move on to the next game,” he said.

“We have to go out and get on with our business, if we keep playing well we will win. If you are getting results and playing well it will turn the other way.

“I have always been a student of form and how you play rather than the result because the results directly correlate how well you play eventually.

“You can get freak results but eventually you will get what you deserve.”
