Talker Walker!

United manager Roy walker has been quoted on teletext as saying United have a chance of turning over Linfield tomorrow. Yes it was an encouraging display at Coleraine last Saturday and we were the best team over the 90 minutes, but we only ended up with a point and 'rode our luck' during the closing stages of the game. We also had two encouraging displays against Newry and Institute, should have won both of them, 'choked' in the closing stages to salvage a draw on both occasions. Two things to remember about those first two drawn games, (1)they were away from home, (2) they were followed by successive league defeats at home, conceding 3 goals without reply on both occasions. Hopefully tomorrow will prove to be a 'different kettle of fish', but United don't need any added pressure, playing the Belfast Blues is pressure enough. The good news for United is that Craigers McClean is fit once more and not a moment too soon as his replacement in recent games, Liam Hogan, is out injured. Also missing from the United line-up tomorrow are, winger Mark Picking (groin strain) and Liam Mullan (prior engagement). This will probably mean a recall for former Blues player, Stuarty King on the left, while Aiden Watson may move up from fullback to wide right, paving the way for Tommy Wray to return at rightback. Kevin Kelbie will we hope be restored to his more usual role as a foil for top scorer Neal Teggart, rather than wasted wide left as he was last week against Coleraine. Manager Roy Walker may of course have completely different ideas, but hopefully we'll get the right result no matter who gets the 'nod'. So come on Sky Blues, let's shag those blooming Townies!
