FirParkCorner v Erin Hibs – Preview

Last week’s 7-1 win over Braes Bairns has given the side a renewed confidence in the season ahead after two poor friendly results against the Harry Wraggs and Next. However, Erin Hibs are generally regarded as one of the best sides in the league and will be looking to stake their own claim for the title. The last time the sides at the end of April last year in Edinburgh. The Corner deservedly lost 3-0 that day, while earlier in the season the Corner were defeated 3-2 in a close match.

The Corner will be without a host of big names for this crucial match. Mark Gardiner drops out of the match squad, he featured up front against Braes Bairns last weekend. Right backs Ross Clark and David Wyper are still missing which means manager Fraser is likely to continue with his 3-5-2 formation. While up front Craig Pettigrew and Scott Mullen all still missing.

Long term absentee Darryn Alexander is unlikely to return until January and Derek Wilson is still on international duty. Joe Smith is currently on loan to Brentford he too will return after Christmas.

However, Captain Gavin Hepworth returns to the squad and is expected to start. He’ll be joined by David Hendry and Mick Anderson, who has missed the last three matches.
