Big test!

United face a big test of their creditability tomorrow night,19-45, against Glenavon, who finished in 3rd place in last seasons Premier league race. United need this game like they need a hole-in-the-head, but beggars can't be choosers and we will be tested right from the start and we expect a high scoring game, but can we come out on top? Surely our manager has to see sense and start ex-Captain Jenks in midfield, alongside Gavin and leave Thommo on the bench.

In the absence of the suspended Captain Jimer and the injured JT, he has a few decisions to make as regards our defence. Tony should return at rightback, but it will be interesting to see who partners, Kyley at central defence. Will it be, Paddy Mac, who didn't make  the the 16 on Saturday past, or new signing, Benny Quigg. As long as he doesn't drop Jenks back and lose his influence in midfield, we should be okay.

He must see the error of his ways and play Cush wide on the left, or right and if Faulkner is available for selection, he should start in place of Hanley, who was a virtual passenger on Saturday. Glenavon have a big team and they will want to assert themselves on us early on, but we have got to prepared for that and it'll be all hands on deck, but we believe it's possible, if we are up for it. So come on Sky Blues, lets shag these Lurgan Lilies!
