East Fife boss Barry Smith’s squad will be severely stretched for today’s game at Brechin with up to five players set to miss out through injury.
The Methil manager had hoped to build on a recent win and draw with Livingston and Alloa on Tuesday night but he was left frustrated when his side’s game against Albion Rovers at Cliftonhill was postponed.
However, Smith is looking for his players to take up from where they left off against the Wasps when they travel to the Glebe today.
He said: “It was unfortunate that Tuesday’s game had to be postponed because of a flooded pitch.
“We had just picked up two good results against Livingston and Alloa and were raring to go again.
“However, the game has already been rearranged for next Tuesday.
“Before that, we will travel to Brechin and will still have Mark Lamont, Tony Wallace and Kyle Wilkie out injured.
“We also have a doubt over Jonathan Page who suffered a reaction at training on Tuesday with Chris Kane also picking up a knock.
“Both are doubtful but we have coped before with injuries.
“I had Brechin watched against Alloa on Tuesday night and they were unlucky not to take something from the game, losing out at the death on the counter.
“They are a decent team and we know it will be tough but we just have to look after ourselves.”
