Forfar looking for yet another win

In-form Forfar are looking to secure a fourth consecutive win when Peterhead visit Station Park, and manager Dick Campbell has received a triple boost ahead of the clash.

Defenders Andy Tod and David Mowat, along with creative midfielder Martyn Fotheringham, are all included in the Loons' pool after missing out against Livingston last week.

Campbell has lost midfielder Scott Allan, though, after he returned to Dundee United at the end of a month-long loan period.

Campbell said: "That is us up to three wins in a row and up to fourth place, so we are certainly on the right road.

"Peterhead will make it difficult but we have more wins in us and I`m looking for us to keep this good run going."

Peterhead manager Neale Cooper has selection worries.

Goalkeeper Jon Bateman is suspended, defender Daniel Moore and striker Dennis Wyness were already ruled out, while Stuart Anderson and Paul Emslie are both rated as major doubts.

Paul Jarvie will replace Bateman, with Bobby Mann in line to start for the first time since the opening day of the league season following an ankle injury.

Young striker Paul Campbell has been added to the travelling squad.

The Blue Toon boss has asked his players for a battling performance after seeing them go down 4-2 against Ayr last weekend.

He said: "This is a really frustrating period just now as we are playing some good stuff but are failing to turn that into wins."
