Dunfermline find themselves in a rather uncomfortable position ahead of Sunday's tie against bottom side Santorre.
They game may yet be called off, as Santorre failed to turn up for their latest league fixture, which cost them a one point deduction as that had been the second time they had left their opponents without a game this season.
Whether or not the game actually takes place, the Pars will only play for their own record, as any result will not move from the 4th place they currently occupy and which will see them enter the Promotion Playoffs phase.
Turmoil is once again predominant in Dunfermline's dressing room, with a certain degree of uncertainty surrounding the managerial competences and the players' actual desire of making yet another jump towards AICS top flight, but the lads need to regroup and head towards their best form ahead of the games which will decide their future next month.
The season's been marred by a number of altercations and arguments among players, which has resulted in the whole package being rather unsettled, as much in its shaping on the pitch as off it.
For the final game of the season, the following players should be available:
(46 Perugini)
17 Crosetti
8 Filippi
10 Frassinelli
2 Boccaccio
11 Bovalino
6 Cantelli
20 Maneschi
5 Marletta
9 Buccianti
PREVIOUS ENCOUNTERS: The only time these two have locked horns before, earlier this season, Dunfermline thumped their opponents by 8 goals to 3, with Boccaccio and Marletta both scoring hat-tricks and the scoreline completed by a Cantelli brace.
On that occasion, Perugini also saved a penalty-spot to add to Santorre's woes.
2008/2009: Dunfermline - Santorre 8-3 (Boccaccio 3, Marletta 3, Cantelli 2)
