Wet Point!

According to Twitter, there's to be an inspection at ten am tomorrow at Milltown, Warrenpoint's ground. We've been assured by the powers that 'be' at the Point (two men sitting in a local bar), that the game will definitely go ahead and supporters needn't worry about about the game being postponed. But what team will Sky Blues manager, Spike, put out tomorrow, bearing in mind the huge injury list at Warden Street. Does he persevere with Captain Jenks at central defence or does he restore Mike Ruddy, that is if he recovers from a groin strain, picked up last Saturday.

Our talisman, Cush, has went through his operation on Thursday, to have a bone shaved on his knee, but it will be at least 6 weeks before he can return to the fray. In the absence of Ally, ankle injury, Spike only has one winger to select, Neal Gawley, who incidentally doubled his score tally against the Swifts on Tuesday night. Omar was speculating that Darboy was maybe being geared up to fill on the left in Cushley's absence, but our management team wouldn't say, when asked today. Does Spike take a chance and play Marky, therefore releasing Tony to midfield?

Sparky, whom we have been championing, had a poor game on Tuesday and as the Point are fighting to stay alive and preserve their senior status, we can't afford to carry any passengers. The same can be said for Thommo, he was less than impressive on Tuesday, but as Spike signed him, he'll probably play him. The rest of the team picks itself, with Dwayne, Cookie, Archie. Mack, Gawley, Captain Jenks and Tippers certain starters. We'll have to pack our bench with at least three reserve players and hope we don't have to delve too far into our depleted stocks.

Its promises to be a hard fought game, as already the Point are averaging a half point a game and they desperately need a win or at least a draw to stop the rot. This game for United, represents a chance to stop the slide, after five league defeats in a row, but we'll need to be up for it. The ref is Evan Boyce, not a name we're familiar with, but he can't be any worse than incompetents we had already this season. Due to circumstances beyond our control, we won't have a presence at this game. So come on Sky Blues, its time to stand up and be counted and lets shag those Rabbits!
