Solly Blundell!

Sorry that should read, 'Solly Blunder', the blunder being the site of their new stand, we the visiting fans are already subjected to the 'jaundiced' view from behind the goals and now the home fans have a similar view. This was, as I'm sure like all so called ground improvements, done in the interest of spectators, I just wish that for once they'd ask and listen to, the views of spectators. Who in their right mind would want to watch a game from behind the 'goals'? Apart from Coleraine fans I can't think of anybody, but then again Coleraine fans are fairly insane, as the old saying goes, 'you don't have to be mad to be a Coleraine fan, but it helps'! But we digress, United must do without the services of central defender Albert Watson, out with suspected ankle ligament damage (not as bad as first suspected, but still a bad injury). Team Captain Gary Haveron returns after serving his one match ban, but will the United manager be loath to partner two left sided central defenders, in Gary and young Archie Stewart? Tommy Burke signed from Derry City could be drafted into a central role, but we fear that reserve player Chris Getty is just not ready for the step-up in class yet. We are unaware if Neal Teggart is fit to resume, but if he is not reserve striker Paul McNeil did enough in his brief appearance on Wednesday night to warrant a starting role. Despite missing a 'sitter' on Wednesday night we expect Kevin Kelbie with 116 career goals to his credit to get the nod in the other striking role. Liam Mullen given a rest on Wednesday, showed the sort of enthusiasm needed when he came on as a sub, which could earn him a starting role against the North Belfast Reds. While Stuarty King looks poised to make his 101st appearance in a Sky Blue shirt. That just leaves the central midfield partnership to be sorted. Gavin Melaugh and Joe McDonnell so far have only gelled in a couple of games and their positions must surely be up for grabs! One things certain for tomorrow, a win is vital, let's have no more excuses, so come on United, let's shag those Chickens (Dessie Loughrey included)!
