Forfar Athletic vs Peterhead preview - Forfar duo sit out

Posted Friday, February 06, 2015 by PA

Forfar will miss the injured Michael Dunlop (hamstring) and Mark Baxter (ankle) when they take on visitors Peterhead.

Striker Dale Hilson will return to boost a Loons attack that was not at its best when the Station Park men lost 2-1 to Morton last weekend.

Manager Dick Campbell said: "It is good to have Dale back as he could well be the difference to our team. We played well last Saturday but we never took the chances that we created and we paid the price.

"Peterhead are on a good run but what the Forfar players do in this game will determine the outcome."

Peterhead head to Angus with only Dean Cowie missing from their squad due to a knee injury.

Manager Jim McInally is hoping his men announce themselves as serious candidates for promotion with a win.

McInally said: "We have gone about our business quietly, however if we win at Forfar then I am sure that we will get noticed.

"If we are to win then we have to play a lot better than we did in our visit there earlier in the season. We were out of that game by half-time and while the second half was better we could not get back into things."
