Match Preview
Loons hopeful over duo 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."

Match Report
Forfar held by Brechin Forfar continued their winless streak as they were held to a 0-0 draw by Brechin at Station Park. Athletic are now without a win in their last six games and it was the away side that came closest to taking all three points in this hard-fought fixture. Neil Janczyk whipped in an inviting free kick on 26 minutes which was met by Brechin striker James Lister's header from 12 yards out, forcing a brilliant save from Greg Paterson. Forfar's best opportunity fell to Greg Ross, but his 31st-minute header was well saved by Craig Nelson following Martyn Fotheringham's cross. Paul McManus' 25-yard effort also drew a good save from Paterson on 58 minutes but neither side could find a winner.
