What Pride!

We were going to start this Sky Blue Sport news, by exhorting our beloved Sky Blues, to show some pride, but we have come to the conclusion, that we don't have any pride. After two shambolic performances, in which our manager took no responsibility for, our players confidence must be shattered and it will be hard to pick themselves up for this the first derby of the season.

New Captain Jimer, should return in defence, but at rightback or central defender alongside Kyley, is anybody's guess. But return he must, for we missed his organisation on Wednesday night, in short we had no leaders on the pitch. Fergie's great move was to take off a defender, Paddy Mac, after 30 mins and bring on an striker, Matty. but then he moved Jenks back to central defence, where he was no better than Paddy Mac and we missed his influence in midfield.

We fully expect Spike to pick virtually the same team again, but if he continues with his policy of making the keeper the scapegoat, then Blaney will be dropped. In truth he was rooted to his goal-line for four of Glenavon's goals, but he made some excellent saves to boot. If Mark Magennis is free from suspension, he should get a seat on the bench at least, if he's still suspended we will have to put up with Thommo.

No doubt the great unwashed are coming to the Showgrounds expecting a victory, but we demand that our players make a fight of it, or I suspect Glen and his cohorts will feel our wrath and its not something to be trifled with. Those stories of referees getting a Police escort, are all true and managers had to resign or suffer a similiar fate, are all too true as well, so be warned, take some responsibility for your team and pick a strong Squad or be dammed. So come Sky Blues get stuck into them, let's shag those Coleraine sheep!
