ACCRINGTON Stanley boss John Coleman has revealed that Reds pair David Brown and Mark Roberts may leave before today's transfer deadline slams shut.

Defender Roberts and midfielder Brown have been in discussions with other clubs, and Coleman admits he would not stand in their way if they wanted to leave the Fraser Eagle Stadium.

Farsley Celtic are reported to be interested in signing the pair, although both players may have concerns about dropping down to a club battling for survival in the Blues Square Premier.

"We've had enquiries for them and we've allowed them to talk to people," said Coleman.

"As it stands now, the ball is in their court. It's down to the lads themselves, and if it's right for the club and the player, we wouldn't stand in anyone's way."
