Forfar Athletic vs Brechin City preview - Loons hopeful over duo



I have a say

Posted Saturday, November 05, 2011 by PA

Forfar manager Dick Campbell is hopeful that defender Mark McCulloch and on-loan Aberdeen midfielder Nicky Low will be passed fit to face Angus neighbours Brechin.

The Loons are looking for their first victory in six games and their resources have been stretched thin in recent weeks.

Jordan Brown has been ruled out for the season and Stevie Crawford joined Falkirk this week.

New assistant manager Ian Campbell is determined that his squad put on a show despite their depleted numbers.

Campbell said: "This is a really big game and Brechin will be coming into it after a good win over Cowdenbeath, but I have told our players that this game will be more about what we do than what Brechin do."

Brechin could spring a surprise by including Derek Carcary in their line-up.

The winger has not featured since the corresponding fixture back in September.

He has recently undergone knee surgery but returned to training this week, and boss Jim Weir is tempted to include him.

"Derek looked really good and he may just be the player to give us more of a spark up-front than we have had recently," he said.

"The last time we played Forfar we did not do ourselves justice and deserved to get beaten, but this time I am looking for us to put on a much better display and build on our success against Cowdenbeath last week."
