Pearson says it’s ‘make or break’ as Dalkeith host Tranent
“We have Tranent at home then Haddington, and those are two big games for us. If we can get something from these games then it would give us a boost in confidence for the rest of the season.
“We have signed a new striker from Lothian Thistle, Kenny Fisher, but, on the downside, we have lost Thomas Watters to an illness similar to that suffered by Scotland’s Darren Fletcher, so he’ll be out for a while.”

Boss Tom Shields won’t be at the game tomorrow, explaining: “Unfortunately, I’m in Manchester, but the players are all up for the game. They feel they let themselves down in the home defeat to Edinburgh and want to bounce back.”
