Substitute Captain!

United Captain Albert Watson must serve an automatic one match ban for tomorrow night's home game at home to Dungannon Swifts, kick-off 7-45. That means United manager Tommy Wright, must not only pick a new partner for Simon Kelly, he also needs a new Captain as well. The manager, in our humble opinion, could simply opt for Kelly, who was outstanding during the closing stages of last Saturday's game. He may of course want to give the nod to Aaron Callaghan, who looks destined to slot into Albert's position, but Sky Blue Sport expect that Larne man, Gary Haveron will get the nod from the United manager. That only leaves the decision of who to promote for the right back slot in Callaghan's absence. Thomas Wray, who deputised so ably during the closing stages last week will be the obvious choice as Gavin Melaugh is still suffering from an ankle knock and is not 100% fit. With three points on the board courtesy of their come from behind win last Saturday, a win tomorrow night would take United closer to qualification for the knock-out stages of this C.I.S. sponsored competition. Dungannon are the team who have 'stolen United's thunder' so to speak over the last few seasons and a win tomorrow night would go a long way to restoring that imbalance. So 'come on Sky Blues, let's shag those Apple pickers!'
