STANLEY boss John Coleman is trying to keep the focus on his side’s job as they look to make their League Two promotion dream a reality.

The Reds were held to a 1-1 draw at Barnet last time out which allowed Wycombe to leapfrog them and pushed Coleman’s men into third place, albeit on goals scored.

With only 12 points separating second from 10th, and several sides having games in hand on others, the Accrington boss knows the complexion of the promotion picture will change almost daily.

Midweek saw Exeter City score twice in injury time to beat Crewe 2-1 and climb into seventh but Notts County missed the chance to cut the gap on Stanley to a single point when they lost at Cambridge.

The U’s make the journey to the Wham Stadium tomorrow with play-off aspirations of their own but Coleman is thinking solely about his own side, rather than pouring over the permutations.

“You have got to take care of yourself,” he said. “It would drive you mad if you concentrated on other teams, concentrate on yourself and if you get everything right then you are successful.

“I think it is more pleasing if you do it yourself anyway, if you rely on someone else’s misfortune it is a short lived pleasure.”

Cambridge are under the caretaker charge of Joe Dunne following the sacking of Shaun Derry earlier this month.

And Coleman is expecting a competitive fixture between two of the division’s form sides over the past month. The U’s are unbeaten in four, winning their last three, while Stanley have lost just once since Christmas.

The Reds boss said: “Cambridge are in a rich vein of form with a new manager taking over who knows the players and has been there for a while and he has got them playing and got them fighting.

“They will think they have a realistic chance of making the play-offs. It will be a tough game for us but when you look at them being in a rich vein of form, so are we.

“We have 25 points out of 30 - if we can do that for the next 10 games we will be promoted.

“We have to play to the best of our ability, we possibly haven’t reached the heights that we should have reached in the last couple of games but we have taken four points and if we can build on that and play the type of football that we can play then we have got a good chance.”
