Tommy'll Tarry!

Sky Blue Sport would like to knock in the head all this speculation about United manager Tommy Wright considering a move to Norwich City as goalkeeper coach. Hasn't the Ballyclare man come home to be close to his family and friends? So there's no reason for him to consider a coaching job, which let's face it as precarious a job as you can find. A new manager comes to the team and the first thing he does is get rid of the coaching staff of the former manager. Now if he had been offered the 'manager's' job that might have given him food for thought, but that is somewhere in the future. As for tomorrow's game at home to manager-less Glenavon, we haven't been unable to ascertain any team news, so we'll just have to speculate once more. With a clean bill of health, no injuries as far as we know, we at 'Sport expect the victorious starting eleven from the win at the Oval on new Year's Day, to be given the nod. Having said that the manager may want to revert to a 4,4,2, formation, bringing in Walsh, which would mean someone stepping down. The favourite, in our humble opinion would be Mark Picking, as he wasn't at his best on Tuesday or maybe the manager will restore Stephen Lowry, who came on as a sub to such a devastating effect on Tuesday, splitting the Glens defence to set up Kelbie for United's fourth goal. Whatever permutation Big Tam settles for United need to do a professional job and maintain their present winning run. Surely Glenavon and their caretaker manager, former United boss Alan Fraser, would take great pleasure in ending the sequence. But with an Irish Cup match away to Newry up next, United must be favourites to take all three points tomorrow. So come on Sky Blues, let's shag those Lurgan layabouts and maintain our league position, we know you can do it, so prove it!
