Match Preview

Mann down for Peterhead Peterhead will be without Bobby Mann for the visit of Alloa. The defender has an ankle injury while Blue Toon boss Neale Cooper also has to find a replacement for midfielder Stuart Anderson after he left the club. Full-back Daniel Moore and striker Dennis Wyness came through a reserve game in midweek after spells out injured and are in contention. Cooper said: "We need to start where we finished against Ayr last week where we scored twice in the second half after being two down. "We are still not getting clear of the foot of the table despite playing better so we need to start getting some points on the board." Alloa have mixed news from the treatment room ahead of their trip. Striker Bryan Prunty is ruled out because of an ankle injury but defender Scott Walker and midfielder Michael McGowan are available after shaking off knocks. Long-term absentee Brown Ferguson is still not ready to come back but manager Allan Maitland has promoted Kenny O'Brien and Allan Ramsay to his first-team squad after fine displays for the Recreation Park under-19 side. The Wasps are still hurting from their 4-1 defeat against Dumbarton last midweek. Maitland said: "We are looking to get back on track as soon as possible after that game. Training has been good this week and the two young lads that we have added have been added on merit."

Match Report

Ruthless Peterhead see off Alloa Dean Wyness bagged a brace as Peterhead came from behind to thrash fellow play-off hopefuls Alloa 4-1. Alloa took the lead in the 13th minute when Stuart Noble headed home James Lister's cross from close range. But the home side turned the tables with two goals in five minutes from Wyness and Martin Bavidge. Wyness slammed home a Stirling Smith corner in the 22nd minute before Bavidge gave the home side the lead after 27 minutes with a 25-yard strike. The visitors missed a golden opportunity to draw level when substitute Kevin McDonald saw his penalty saved by John Bateman after Smith had fouled David McCune in the box. Wyness punished the Wasps in the 70th minute with his second goal of the game, heading home a Bavidge cross from 12 yards. Substitute Connor Gethins completed the route in the 90th minute, slotting home low to Alloa keeper Steven Robertson's left.
