STANLEY boss John Coleman has warned his players they risk being sucked into a relegation dogfight unless they can get back to winning ways.
The 2-1 reverse at Macclesfield was their fourth consecutive defeat and the Reds are now only 11 points above the drop zone with the sides in the bottom two having games in hand.
And Coleman believes his side must get something from their Friday night game against Dagenham or Stanley could be in trouble.
He said: "Our next game becomes a massive game because if we don't win, we're going to be in a relegation dogfight.
"If we don't win on Friday we're going to be in very big trouble."
