Bang On!

United entertain Bangor tomorrow night kick-off 19-45 and the catchword for manager Roy Walker (or whoever's filling in for him while he completes his suspension) should be 'bang on', as that is what United must do in our four remaining matches. The fact that three of these games are at home should be an advantage for us, but the opposite is in fact the case. If however we are to progress up the table and clear of the relegation zone, we need to start winning our home games and tomorrow night would be the perfect time. Bangor have virtually nothing to play for as they are certain to be relegated as they are not applying for a Premier league licence next season, but they will still want to give a good account of themselves and are quite capable of taking all three points tomorrow night. United will need to have their 'A' game if they are to triumph and for that reason we expect Albert Watson to come back into the team, therefore allowing us to go back to the three man defence. Gavin Melaugh should also return and United will need all his guile if they are to get back on the goal trail once more. Melaugh's midfield partners will be a case of perm any two from the three of Aiden Watson, Tommy Wray and the enigmatic David Cushley. On last weeks showing striker Colin Magill could get a starting berth alongside Kevin Kelbie, who after a prolific December, has only found the net twice this year. The rest of the team will automatically pick itself, As Messers,Smith, Colligan, McDonald and Muir are stonewall bankers for selection. It's crunch time tomorrow night, we wouldn't say the next two games are a matter of 'life and death' as they're much, much, more serious than that. So Come On United, let's shag those Seasiders!
