ACCRINGTON Stanley manager John Coleman is hoping goalkeeper Kenny Arthur has used up his quota of errors for the year after the Scotsman conceded two soft set-pieces against Burnley.

Usually Mr Dependable for the Reds, the 29-year-old Scotsman shipped second-half free-kicks taken by Joey Gudjonsson and Robbie Blake, as Stanley went down 3-0 to Owen Coyle’s Championship outfit.

And Coleman admitted after the match that they were uncharacteristic mistakes from his stopper, who had an impressive match otherwise.

He said: “We didn’t start the second half well. We got ourselves a platform into the game and then we lost a couple of silly goals.

“Kenny must do better with them and he knows that.

“I would’ve expected him to save both of them.

“I think we got a little bit lazy. Not lazy in a physical sense, but lazy in our mind. We fell asleep a couple of times and that cost us.

“We defended quite well in open play, but you can’t do that if you’re going to let set-pieces plague you.

“I wouldn’t expect Kenny to let in two free-kicks in one game ever, so for that to happen, it’s probably better that it’s happened in pre-season.”

A crowd of over 3000 turned up at the Fraser Eagle Stadium and for many Clarets fans it was the first chance to see the club’s new signings in the flesh after their respective tours of America and Scotland.

And the Stanley supporters were also able to cast their eyes over new recruits Colin Murdock, Chris King, Jimmy Ryan and striker Jamie Clark, who has signed on loan from Blackburn Rovers until Christmas.

Coleman said: “We thought we had done enough to be in front at the break. We had a couple of chances I would expect us to take, but it wasn’t to be.

“We’ll use this as a fitness exercise. Our lads worked hard and I don’t think there will be many teams do us for fitness this season.”

Meanwhile, the Reds boss revealed he was still looking to add to his squad before the start of the new season in little under two weeks time.

He added: “I still think we need another striker and perhaps another wide player. You should never be happy with what you’ve got.”
