Accrington have lost a second star player in a month, with Swansea signing midfielder Ian Craney on loan after lodging a sufficient bid to trigger a release clause in his contract. Accrington have lost all five league matches since winger Gary Roberts left for Ipswich. Manager John Coleman has also allowed winger Sean Doherty and keeper Francois Dubourdeau to join former coach Paul Cook at Southport.
