Five in for Montrose

Montrose manager George Shields has recruited five new faces this week ahead of the Annan clash.

However, two of the new boys - Ross Campbell and Craig Johnston - will miss out due to suspension.

Ewan Moyes, Greg Cameron and Jordan Allan are expected to feature with the Links Park boss unable to call on Paul Watson (broken wrist) and Stephen Day (broken ankle).

Shields said: "I am happy with how we are playing as an attacking team but far from happy with the goals we are losing. We were two up against Albion Rovers last week and then gave away goals as we lost 4-3.

"I am looking for better defensively against Annan."

Annan hope to include Steven Sloan in their ranks for the first time in six weeks after a knee problem.

Steven Black (calf), Kenny Mackay (knee) and Chris Dickinson (calf) remain out injured.

Manager Jim Chapman is looking for a consistent performance from his side.

He said: "The players were terrific against Berwick in the first half last weekend and more than deserved their three-goal lead. However, in the second half they stopped doing what had made them successful and we lost two goals.

"Thankfully we recovered to win the game but our game management and consistency over 90 minutes needs to be a lot better."
