King Richard!

It's Crusade time for United tomorrow, when the modern day Crusaders come to town determined to crush the wee Sky Blues. United's injury list shows no sign of abating and the latest casualty team Captain Gary Haveron is doubtful after picking up a leg injury in last week's victory at Mourneview Park. On the plus side Gavin Melaugh has served his one game suspension and may come in if Haveron is ruled out. Striker Kevin Kelbie is serving a one game suspension and manager Walker must decide if he should go with Davit Walsh and either Paul McNeil or Mike Ward or maybe something completely different. It will also be interesting to see if he sticks to the three at the back formation which brought United only their fourth win in all competitions this term. United need to unearth a modern day King Richard in order to halt the Crusaders juggernaut and who better than the inspirational and aptly named Stuarty 'King' who can lead them to victory tomorrow. Stuarty had his best ever game in a Sky Blue shirt last week, scoring one and setting up the other two goals, as well as having an inspirational day in midfield. Needless to say yet another likewise performance is required tomorrow if United are to continue their Crusade of climbing off the foot of the table. Tomorrow is United's last but one home game of 2008 (the other is against a nameless team from the 'smelly' town) and they are hosting yet another Corporate dinner, so three points would be the 'icing on the cake'. It won't be easy, but it is possible, 'only believe'. So come on Sky Blues, let's shag those toothless tigers!
