Must Win!

United go into tomorrows game at the Colosseum, or Solitude as its more familiarly known against Chickenville and they need to feed them to the lions. Its a win at all costs game as the Sky Blues chase their forlorn hopes of a top six finish in the Dankse Bank Premiership. We could win tomorrow and not stand a chance of finishing in the top six, if Glenavon get a result against league leaders, Crusaders, it goes without saying that we will be rooting for the Crues.

But first we have got to take care of our game and with that in mind we reckon they'd be a recall for top scorer Tippers, who was rested for last Saturday's win at home to 'Stute. Will Fergie rest one or two of his stars with next weeks cup match against the Welders in mind. Normally we would say yes, but Fergie is going for league points and with Reds also trying to finish higher than they are at present, it promises to be another humdinger of a game.

The Reds will be anxious to avenge their Irish cup defeat at the hands of the Sky Blues, but United for their part know that Chickenville are not as invincible as they once seemed. In the end it will be all down to who gets the tactics right in the last third of the pitch. The referee Evan Boyce, is a fair as anyone and with our old pal Ian 'Andy' McNabb as fourth official, we will surely get a far crack of the whip or as fair as the Reds crowd allows.

They have been known to influence refs in the past, but we won last time in spite of the refs blunders, when he bowed to crowd influence or did we imagine that Gormely took a dive over JT to win the penalty. But enough of dwelling in the past, its a new ball game tomorrow and our players have got to raise their game again, or perish among the also-rans. Its going to be a tough ask and we need our supporters to be there in numbers and they can be the twelfth man and lift the team to the three points.

We don't know if Paddy Mac has recovered from injury and if Cush will be risked from the start, he was looking a little jaded last Saturday and we'll need him next week against the Welders. Chickenville on the other hand will get a week off next Saturday and they'll have nothing to lose except pride so we expect them to come at us and keep coming at us and inevitably, they will leave gaps that we can exploit, with Maca's speed and Cutch's class. So come on Sky Blues, lets shag those Chickenvillers!
