Forfar Athletic vs Peterhead - Injured trio out for Forfar

Posted Friday, April 01, 2016 by PA

Forfar miss the injured Michael Travis (knee), Michael Dunlop (leg) and Euan Spark (shoulder) against second top Peterhead.

Forfar manager Gary Bollan was disappointed to see his side drop to second bottom in the table last weekend.

He said: "After being pleased to see a high level of consistency in our game I was disappointed that we did not play like we can at Stenhousemuir last Saturday. We did not deserve to lose but we were slack and switched off at a free-kick that allowed them to grab a winner.

"There are 15 points still available and winning the first three of them against Peterhead would be great. To do that we cannot switch off at any time."

Peterhead have Jamie Redman available after a ban as they look to bounce back from losing their first game in 20 when they went down to Cowdenbeath last weekend.

Injuries rule out Ally Gilchrist (groin), Scott Ross (groin) and Simon Ferry (knee) and Andy Rodgers is a doubt.

Manager Jim McInally said: "Forfar losing to Stenhousemuir surprised me as they were showing the form that would get them out of the bottom two.

"This is therefore a big game for them and I would imagine that they will play it in the same assertive manner as we will look to take Rangers on in the Petrofac Final next weekend."
