STANLEY manager John Coleman has admitted he's finding it tough trying to attract the right players to the Fraser Eagle Stadium.

Since the transfer window opened, Stanley have only managed to add Alan Rogers to their squad, although negotiations are ongoing with on-loan midfielder David Mannix.

He said: "It's difficult for anybody to bring players in, not just Accrington Stanley.

"I think if you look on the television, everyone expected the floodgates to open when the transfer window opened and it hasn't. People are still keeping their powder dry and they're reluctant to let players go until they get players in themselves."
