COWDNBEATH take on Falkirk tonight (Tuesday) in a very important Championship clash.

The Blues, as manager Jimmy Nicholl has stressed, need to start picking up points to ensure safety and with only seven games left they need to get results quickly.

The Fifers will be without midfielder John Herron for the rest of the season while Dean Brett will also miss the Falkirk game.

Said the manager, "John's ankle ligaments are badly damaged and he will be out for at least eight weeks, while this game has come too soon for Brett, who was assisted off against Hibs."

The manager is looking for his defence to deal with corner-kick situations better than at Palmerston Saturday when two of teh goals came from set pieces.
