Fergies Dilemma!

The sending of team Captain Alan Jenkins last Friday night, has left our manager, Fergie, with a bit of a selection problem. If Thommo has shaken his injury, sustained in league cup win last Monday against Newington, does he start him or new signing Brian McCaul (Mack), who doesn't have the benefit of a pre-season  fitness programme behind him. It would be fair to say that Mack looked a bit rusty last week against Newington, but as far as we know, he played for the reserves on Saturday.

Spike has another interesting selection to make, does he restore Kaner to rightback, or persevere with Marky, who made way for Kaner on Friday night. As avowed fans of Kaner's all-round action, the 'Sport crew would have Kaner starting every time he's available. Institute are reportedly playing well and they usually give a good account of themselves at the Showgrounds, so it will be a tough game. But we have to bounce back and Fergie could start virtually the same  team, with the exception of Captain Jenks.

Our talisman, Cush, missed numerous clear-cut chances on Friday night at Mourneview Park, we don't think he'll be so benevolent in front of goal tomorrow night. The referee, Keith Kennedy, is a new one to us, but we were so disappointed in Heth's performance on Friday, he really would  have to be blind, to have as biased a game as we witnessed at Lurgan. There's an old saying that goes: "when the going gets tough, the tough get going", we need to get going tomorrow night, so come on Sky Blues, lets shag those Derrymen!
