Lights On!

Lights, camera, action, is the cry when film-making, hopefully there will be lights tomorrow night at New Grovesnor and if there's lights, there will definitely be action, as for cameras, that's anybody's guess. Neither United or the Whites are high profile enough to be guaranteed cameras from the local TV companies, although the fact that they are battling for fourth place, might make a difference, but we at 'Sport won't hold our collective breaths. After the news today that United have not got a home draw in the Irish cup and must travel to play Newry City at the Marshes, league points are even more of a premium. We have been unable to ascertain whether Tommy Wright will be making many changes to Saturday's line-up, our source has dried up for the present, but we envisage very few ourselves. We in fact expect United to have an almost identical line-up as they had for the 'abandoned' game 18 days ago, although Fitzy may retain his place as Walsh may be given even more 'rest'. David Cushley will no doubt feel a little aggrieved if he's left out, but it is after all horses for courses and with that in mind we fully expect Johnny Flynn to return to the team. This will in turn release Gary Haveron to play in left midfield and barring any injuries United's other players should keep their starting places. Having said that, the United manager may have a completely different game plan for tomorrow night's game, which in many ways is like a cup match, a win would take us up three places and keep our unbeaten run going, which in turn would give us a massive confidence boost with the holiday fixtures looming ever closer. So it's all systems go for the 3 points, so come on United, let's shag those Lambeggars!
