Aiden & Abetting

With the unavailability of Roy Walker's latest teenage fullback, Tommy Burke, it looks like an immediate recall for tigerish midfielder Aiden Watson, to wear the number 2 shirt. Aiden, having served his one game suspension (and not Albert as we and many others intimated last week), looks likely to get a recall, but then again United manager Roy Walker may have other ideas up his sleeve. He may also have one eye on United's first-leg C.I.S. cup game at home to the Glens next Wednesday night and will no doubt be glad of the players he has in reserve with United playing 4 times in the next 11 days. To the best of our knowledge (we haven't a bloody clue in other words), the rest of United's starting 11 from last week are ready and willing and we doubt that Walker will tinker too much with his starting 11. Mike Ward, who 'allegedly' collided with Glens substitute John Taylor's arm last Saturday, may get a place on the bench despite having to get stitches in a nasty head wound. Young Archie Stewart will we fear also have to settle for a seat on the bench, but his time will come. With the unavailability of Davitt Walsh with a hamstring injury, the fit again Mark Picking will probably be recalled to the United bench. Teenage sensation Lee Colligan looks set to continue in the leftback slot, as Craiggers remains on the injured list. United will be looking to their twin strikers, Kelbie and Teggart to exact some revenge on the 'whites' for a narrow defeat in our last meeting, while United fans will be hoping for a chance to 'jeer' former player Paul Muir, a leading protagonist in the 'ham shank' riot at the Showgrounds last season. Whatever the outcome we expect United fans to turn up in numbers to cheer their heroes on, so come on Sky Blues, let's shag those Lambeggars!
