Forfar Athletic vs Stenhousemuir preview - Young absent for Forfar

Posted Friday, October 10, 2014 by PA

Top-of-the-table Forfar are missing experienced midfielder Derek Young with a knee problem when they host Stenhousemuir.

However, the league leaders could be boosted by the return of Andrew Steeves and Aaron James from injury.

Manager Dick Campbell is looking for more of the same from his team. He said: "We made a slow start at Airdrie last week but once we got into the game we played well and got a good win.

"I am not planning to make many changes and the only thing I would ask the players to do is to play like they can for the 90 minutes and not move up the gears after we go behind."

Stenhousemuir manager Scott Booth has a selection dilemma of the right kind to solve, with last weekend's two-goal substitute Colin McMenamin looking to start and Martin Grehan, the man he replaced after only three minutes, passed fit.

Stewart Greacen is a doubt while Chris Smith (back) and Bryan Hodge (shoulder) have been ruled out.

Booth said: "Colin worked hard for his two goals so I have a happy problem to solve as Martin has been good for us all season.

"We scored late to get a point against Stranraer last weekend, however it was still a disappointing afternoon as it is a game we could have won."
