Penultimate Boredom!

Just one match to go, what a relief, we at 'Sport can't wait for this season to be over and confined to the history books. United once again have not looked like picking up that elusive trophy, okay they did win the Harry Cavan youth cup, but in reality this season has been yet another disaster. Can next season be any worse, we wonder, but we suppose the answer is if we don't shore up our leaky defence, yes it could. United manager Roy Walker has pinned his hopes on reserve keeper Sean O'Neill for next season and the local boy gets an early chance to impress as regular custodian Alan Blayney has got a back injury. With Paul Muir still rated as doubtful, it will be interesting to see who the manager opts for in central defence tomorrow, after transfer listing both Albert Watson and former Glenavon player, Gavin McDonnell. Either of these two men could be drafted in as Muir's replacement, but we wonder just how much either of them are committed to the cause. Midfield is also in need of a shake-up and transfer listed Gavin Melaugh, could also come into the reckoning after his second half display at Dungannon last Saturday. We have struggled to score goals this season, a matter which needs to be sorted in the close season, while for tomorrow's game surely we must start with Kelbie and Teggart. Twenty-one goals between them isn't much, but it's way ahead of their nearest rivals. All we can think of to encourage people to turn up tomorrow, is, it's a nice ground and we usually do well there, as a matter of fact this is where our revival started this season. We realise it's highly unlikely that lady luck will be in our camp tomorrow, as in the corresponding fixture Glenavon's Trevor Molloy got himself sent off and we took advantage of the situation with our extra man. Nevertheless it must be said, for the last but one time, come on United, let's shag those Mourneviewers!
