Smith in for Chapman
Posted Saturday, September 11, 2010 by PA
Dumbarton's on-loan Aberdeen youngster Stirling Smith is in line for his debut when Stenhousemuir visit.
The defender is poised to come into the reckoning while manager Jim Chapman's only injury concern is winger Mark Gilhaney who has a groin strain.
Chapman has told his players to keep on applying themselves as they have been and the points will come.
The Sons sit bottom of the table on the zero point mark, however Chapman is sure that better times are coming.
He said: "Our priority is to get points on the board as soon as possible and if we keep applying ourselves in the manner we have we will do that.
"We have worked hard at training over the past two weeks and I am looking forward to seeing the results of that work."
Stenhousemuir goalkeeper Chris McCluskey will be missing for the trip.
McCluskey is absent with an ankle knock while striker Simon Lynch is still not fit enough to be considered.
The Ochilview side will also be missing defenders Scott Fusco and Willie Lyle through suspension while a couple of unnamed players will be getting treatment right up until kick off to ensure they make it.
Manager John Coughlin said: "We need to get back to the way we played when we defeated Dundee and put in the same effort we put in all over the park that night.
"Our concentration needs to improve as at the moment as it is a mistake a week in defence and that has to end as well."
