Lynch sits out Peterhead test

Posted Saturday, August 07, 2010 by PA

Stenhousemuir striker Simon Lynch is still not ready to be included for the visit of Peterhead.

Lynch will not be in the Warriors line up but everyone else in the Ochilview squad is available to manager John Coughlin who has a great respect for Neale Cooper's Blue Toon side.

He said: "Peterhead is always a tough game as they are always one of the best footballing teams in this Division. We have to ensure that we do not allow them to impose their game on us."

Dundee are visiting Ochilview on Tuesday on ALBA Cup duty and Coughlin is dangling the carrot of a game against the First Division side in front of his players

He said: "Jerseys in the Dundee game will be given to the guys that perform against Peterhead."

Peterhead will be without David Ross for the trip.

Ross is carrying an injury but manager Neale Cooper has everyone else available and a squad in good spirits after two cup wins that have seen six goals scored and none conceded.

Cooper said: "We are doing well just now and everyone has taken a lift from the arrival of new players that has seen us have some experience on the bench for the first time in a couple of years.

"Last week we had Connor Gethins and Stuart Anderson on the bench whereas a year ago we had kids so we are looking stronger this season.

"Stenhousemuir are a big strong side and we will have to break them down to take anything out of this trip."
