ACCRINGTON Stanley boss John Coleman believes the Reds fans have a big part to play as his side prepare for four successive home games on the bounce in three different competitions.

Stanley welcome Wycombe Wanderers to the Wham Stadium tonight, bidding to halt a five-game winless League One run.

Saturday sees Cheltenham Town in East Lancashire for an FA Cup second round tie before Coleman's men host Lincoln City in the Checkatrade Trophy second round next Tuesday.

The quartet of home fixtures ends with the league visit of Sunderland on Saturday week.

And the Stanley chief, whose side were beaten 1-0 at Rochdale last time out, insists the backing of the home fans can be key.

"Our fans were absolutely magnificent on Saturday, they never stopped singing from first minute to the last.

"They were a credit to the town and to the community of Accrington.

"I know the players really appreciated it and when they get behind us at home it is brilliant and it is a great atmosphere.

"They more or less suck the attacks in and it is no coincidence that we attack the Clayton End really well."
