Steele Blues!

United manager Tommy Wright continues to dip into the transfer market by signing two players over the last couple of days. First to come into the Showgrounds fold was under 19 International, midfielder Johnny Steele. The Larne player joins two other first teamers from the East Antrim Town, Gary Haveron and central defender Gordon Simms. Also joining the Sky Blues was former Linfield full-back, Stephen Collier. Manager Wright then put Jamie Marks and Eddie Hill on the transfer list. The United manager has a full panel to select from tomorrow, but is expected to give last week's squad a vote of confidence, although he may find room on the bench for Captain Gary Smyth, who has served his one match ban. Tomorrow's game sees the visit of the man Sky Blue fans love to hate, motormouth, Roy McCreadie and the return of last year's keeper Goosey Robinson. No doubt 'Goosey' will have his usual banter with the fans, but will be out to derail the United juggernaut, nothing we're sure would give him greater pleasure. Let's hope we have a better turn-out than the small crowd who turned up at Portadown last Saturday and let's cheer the Sky Blues to victory!
