Aldershot v Accrington preview

Team news for Saturday's League Two clash between Aldershot and Accrington Stanley at the EBB Stadium.

Shots manager Dean Holdsworth will consider handing full debuts to Charlie Collins and Josh Payne as he continues his search for a winning formula at home to Accrington.

Striker Collins and midfielder Payne arrived on loan late last week, with the former a second-half substitute in Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Cheltenham.

And Holdsworth may consider throwing the pair in from the off this time around as he looks to turn around a run of form which has seen the Shots collect just one point from the last 15 on offer, failing to find the net in any of those five games.

Holdsworth has been hit by injury problems, with striker Michael Rankine (leg) and midfielder Alex Rodman (viral infection) - who had both missed the last two games - are now set to sit out for the rest of the season.

Centre-back Chris Doig, however, has overcome a hamstring problem.

Meanwhile, Michael Smith and Liam Willis are in contention to make their Accrington debuts on Saturday.

On-loan Charlton striker Smith and former Wigan defender Willis joined the Reds earlier in the week.

Manager John Coleman has no new injury concerns for the clash.

Alan Burton remains a long-term injury absentee as he recovers from hernia surgery and Sean Hessey is still on the sidelines due to a hamstring problem.

On-loan Everton defender Aristote Nsiala overcame concussion to take part in the 3-0 defeat to Barnet last weekend and suffered no ill-effects.

Accrington have had to endure a week of speculation off the field with Coleman linked to the current vacancy at League One Rochdale, although the club confirmed no formal approach has been made for their manager.
