ACCRINGTON Stanley assistant boss Jimmy Bell is targeting three wins in the club's final matches as he aims to begin building for next season now.

A single point against Barnet on Saturday will guarantee Stanley's Football League status after a rollercoaster season.

Stanley were looking to be play-off challengers after a solid first season, but after a bleak mid-winter, the Reds have found themselves in another scrap to get away from the foot of the table.

But Bell, who has taken training with John Coleman taking a break in La Manga, is hoping to end the season with a bang.

He said: "We still need a point to be mathematically sure of playing League Two football next season and we've had a tremendous week.

"I went to watch Barnet play Rochdale on Tuesday night and there's certain areas where I think we can win the game.

"But Barnet are a very good footballing side and they will hurt us if we let them.

"If we're not on their mettle, and we're not in their faces, they could really hurt us.

"We need to be right in their face from the word go and get the crowd up for it because we certainly need a couple of good home performances to finish on a bit of a high.

"Hand on heart, I don't think Mansfield will win their last three games but you have got to take it as though they will.

"They've got Dagenham in the last game and I think it could down to that game.

"Both of them can't get maximum points but it's just about getting that one point.

"But we just don't seem to put two results together. Of late we don't seem to be able to put halves together.

"It's been really frustrating for me and John and we just can't put our finger on it and it's something that we have to work on in the summer.

"It would be nice to get three positive results, starting on Saturday against Barnet."

Stanley's home form, in particular, has been a concern to John Coleman all season.

But Bell believes that it's partly down to a sea-change in attitude of the visitors to the Fraser Eagle Stadium.

He added: "Teams certainly know more about Accrington, especially this season.

"Teams have come, set up shop and tried not to get beat and sometimes they've done a job on us and all credit to them.

"And they've known that a good striker can snatch them a goal at any time.

"We try and get the boys up, with the same intents and purposes, for every home game we play.

"It should be a fortress and we should make it that.

"We've got to turn it around, but, first and foremost, the lads have to realise that what the fans want, and the club needs, is a good home record."
