Forfar Athletic vs Stranraer preview - It's as you were for Loons

Posted Friday, October 24, 2014 by PA

Leaders Forfar will be without only Derek Young who has a knee injury when Stranraer come calling at Station Park.

Station Park manager Dick Campbell looks set to keep faith with the players who have taken the Loons to the summit of League One.

Campbell said: "We have done well recently, but there is no point in getting over excited. We will stick to things one game at a time.

"We played well at Dunfermline last Saturday but never took our chances. A goalless draw there was a good result, but I want better from this game although I'm not one for changing a team that is on a good run."

The Blues could give Steven Bell a start for the first time this season after an ankle injury.

But knee problems continue to rule out Craig Pettigrew and Scott Robertson.

Manager Stephen Aitken said: "This is a meeting between two teams in good form.

"It will be a tough game to win but we will go out looking to do that. They were disappointed at only drawing at Dunfermline last week and that says a lot about how well they are playing.

"We had to work really hard to get the three points at Brechin last Saturday and we will need the same approach here."
