JOHN Coleman takes his Accrington Stanley side to promotion-hopefuls Peterborough tonight aiming to shore up a leaky defence.

The Reds have shipped 17 goals in their last eight League Two matches, including three against Chester earlier this month, plus two more in Saturday's defeat at Stockport.

And the situation has brought nothing but frustration to Stanley boss Coleman, who has not seen his side keep a clean sheet since the 0-0 draw at Hereford on November 24.

"The sad thing for me is that we've conceded five goals in our last two games and our goalkeeper hasn't made a save of any description whatsoever," said Coleman. "We scored three against Chester, but we shouldn't have to be scoring three or four to win a game."
