Stenhousemuir vs Cowdenbeath preview - Trio miss out for Stenhousemuir's clash with Cowdenbeath

Posted Friday, August 28, 2015 by PA

Stenhousemuir manager Brown Ferguson will be without injured trio Jamie McCormack, Ciaran Summers and Kieran Millar when his side face Cowdenbeath at Ochilview.

Ferguson is looking for an improvement from his players after last Saturday's 4-1 defeat from Forfar.

He explained: "We made a slow start and that slow start turned into a poor performance. The intensity that we have had in our game since the start of the season was missing. Hopefully it will be back for this game.

"Cowdenbeath will be up for the game after winning last weekend, however if we play like we can then we can win."

Cowdenbeath will be able to call upon their new defensive signing from Hamilton Aldin El-Zubaidi, while Declan Hughes is back after suspension.

Jack Beaumont remains out with a foot injury and Craig Johnston is suspended, with Lewis Milne also an injury doubt.

Blue Brazil manager Colin Nish said: "It was good to get our win over Albion Rovers last weekend and you could sense that it has lifted everyone at training. The players have always worked hard but it was good to see them get a reward.

"We will look to add to that at Stenhousemuir but it will be tough as they defeated Raith Rovers recently and any team that does that must be decent."
