January signings Jordan Jones and Jake Vokins are on the bench.
Here are some of the best reactions from supporters on Twitter:
@Kevsol tweeted: “An improvement from the last few line-ups, but still not good enough. Burge and McFadzean are accidents waiting to happen. Not an abundance of alternatives, just saying.”

@LiamShepard7 tweeted: “I hope Winchester comes back from his injury soon as I would definitely have preferred him to Scowen. I don't know why Jones isn't on the pitch. If we went back to 4-4-2 I would probably have Wyke with either Stewart or Maguire.”
@DanesIrishSAFC tweeted: “Given the current injuries I'd say this is us as close to full stength as we can be!!”
@b3nxf tweeted: “Wyke isolated and McGeady missing for large parts of the game incoming. Scenes.”
