Cook aims to keep red-hot Stanley bubbling
Accrington Stanley,
Last updated:
Paul Cook is free from injury or suspension worries as his Accrington side look to continue their perfect start to the npower League Two season against Exeter.
Stanley followed up their surprise 1-0 opening day win at Southend by overcoming Port Vale 2-0 at the Crown Ground in midweek. Dean Winnard returned from a hamstring complaint to help the Reds to a second successive clean sheet and Cook's defence is set to be unchanged. In attack the former Sligo boss has hinted he may look to rotate, with all three of his frontline forwards already off the mark. On-loan Reading man Karl Sheppard scored the only goal at Roots Hall and was joined by Padraig Amond up top against Vale. The Irishman put Stanley ahead before half-time from the penalty spot, before James Gray marked his Football League debut by coming off the bench to seal the points.
