Saints' manager, Pete Mahon, will be forced to make defensive changes ahead of the final Airtricity League match at Richmond Park of the 2010 season on Friday as both Damian Lynch and Ian Bermingham will miss the game due to suspension.

Midfielders Ryan Guy, Dave Mulcahy and David McAllister are all recovering from knocks sustained on Tuesday night.

“Bray are a team in form and they have had a nice little rest while we have played two very testing games,” said Mahon. “We can expect a very tough game so we still have to be very positive and realise the prize that Europe might offer us if we can achieve wins in our next two games.

“I hope Tuesday night is not seen as an anti-climax in terms of our season and I hope the supporters come out in force again to support the team.”

Bray Wanderers are certain to have six first-teamers missing for the trip to Richmond Park and two others are doubtful.

Jake Kelly and John Mulroy are still troubled with hamstring problems and can't be considered for selection while Derek Prendergast who picked up a serious ankle injury against Drogheda United will also miss out, while Sean Houston will also be absent with a knee ligament problem.

Added to that Dane Massey and Shane O'Connor will both serve suspensions and there are doubts about Danny O'Connor who has a thigh injury and reserve goalkeeper Brian Kane who is suffering with an ankle injury.
