JOHN Coleman was not paying too much attention when Accrington Stanley were drawn at home to Yeovil in the FA Cup second round last night – because his side are not through yet.

Stanley claimed a creditable 0-0 draw at League One side Notts County in the first round on Sunday afternoon and will now host the Magpies in a replay at the Store First Stadium on Tuesday, November 18 at 7.45pm.

The winner will host Yeovil on the weekend of December 6 and 7 after the second round draw took place last night, but Coleman is not thinking about that just yet.

“We’re not in the draw for me, technically we are but there’s no point worrying about who you get, because we haven’t got it,” said the Reds boss.

“Our focus is I know who we’ve got in the next round - it’s Notts County.

“That’s all I’m looking at, we have to get over Notts County.

“It doesn’t matter who you get, because we haven’t got them yet.”

Despite holding a team who currently sit sixth in League One, Coleman admitted some disappointment about Stanley’s performance at Meadow Lane.

“There wasn’t much in the game,” he said “I think both sides looked a bit edgy. The longer the game went on I think both sides didn’t want to lose it rather than win it.

“I’d have liked us to have been more of an attacking threat. We had a couple of half chances but didn’t really create a lot and it was as if we set out to contain them and we didn’t.

“I can’t be too disappointed because I know how hard we worked but I like my teams to attack, I like them to be a threat and I don’t think we were too much of a threat.”

Loanees John O’Sullivan and Sean Maguire were refused permission to play by parent clubs Blackburn Rovers and West Ham United respectively, and will also miss the replay.

Stanley welcomed back Kal Naismith as a substitute, in his first appearance since returning to the squad following the death of his girlfriend.

“Kal showed great character,” Coleman said.

“We can’t rush him but he’s made of good stuff and the support he’s had from the players has been invaluable and it will continue to be invaluable.”
