Connor Wickham pushing for full debut as Forest Green host Accrington

New recruit Connor Wickham could make his full debut when Forest Green host Accrington in League One.

The former Sunderland and Crystal Palace striker climbed off the bench to rescue a point with a debut goal in Saturday’s 1-1 draw at Lincoln.
