Rave On!

We're back, okay we were never actually away, but we just had some personal issues to sort out and here we go once again with our suitcase in our han.... Ignore that statement, it's something completely different and in many ways that's what we expect to see from United tomorrow. Firstly we expect a vastly different line-up to that which fought so valiantly on Tuesday night, Kevin Kelbie & Neal Taggart should return to the attack, as it's a case of horses for courses and nowhere is that more evident than at Seaview. The tight shore road pitch doesn't lend itself to close passing football and no-one knows that better than United's manager, sure didn't he go down in history as the man who guided unfashionable Crusaders to two league titles, but now his first task is to get United back on the right track. This will be no easy task against the 'high flying' Crues., the 'hatchet men' have got off to a brilliant start and suffered their first defeat away to Linfield last Saturday, but by all reports gave a good account of themselves, so United will need to be on top form if they are to 'stop the rot' and take a very rare three points at Seaview tomorrow. The back four and keeper Sean O'Neill deserve another go (barring any injuries), while the 'Cush' surely deserves another start in wide midfield. The unlucky loser here looks likely to be Aiden Watson, as Gavin Melaugh and Gary Haveron look certain to hold the centre midfield role. Mark Picking could be a surprise selection at right midfield, as he might give the Sky Blues more attacking options than Davitt Walsh or 'Wardy'. Or will the manager be so bold as to employ the much heralded (well heralded by Sky Blue Sport at least), W. K. D. attack its head, these are drastic times and they call for drastic measures. Whatever the line-up one thing's certain, United need a result from this game tomorrow, anything else and Roy Walker will have no hair left at all! So come on Sky Blues, let's shag those Townies!
