'Stute Selection!

United manager Roy Walker has to decide on his best line-up for tomorrow's game away to Institute, that is of course assuming that he knows what his best line-up is. Mike Ward remains a doubt for tomorrow's game, but in his absence Davitt Walsh may have a chance to claim a starting role, as the old saying goes, 'it's an ill wind that doesn't blow some good' and Davvy will be anxious to grab his chance no doubt. After the poor showing against Dungannon on Tuesday night the United manager could be forgiven if he made wholesale changes, but we expect him to deviate very little from his starting line-up in that match. Aiden Watson is still serving a suspension, but the manager will have to make a decision concerning his namesake, former club Captain, Albert. The Sandy Row man is fit and well again and is anxious to get back in the United first team. New signing from Ballyclare Michael Smith looks certain to retain his place and the same appears to be so for the rest of the midfield. United though must start winning the midfield battles if points are to be gathered, especially at home, as anything away from the Showgrounds is a bonus, With possibly three former players in their ranks and one, John Gregg, managing them, the men from Drumaho will be out to take all three points, but we must have the right attitude and be prepared to fight to the death. So come on Sky Blues, let's shag those Londonderryaires!
