Bad Manners!

Its normally said, its bad manners to point, but let us point out a few facts. We haven't had three points at Warrenpoint's ground yet, even when the floodlights failed and we were leading, the 'Point got back to get a point. So the omens are not good for tomorrow's game, a crucial game if we want to climb up the Premier league table. A draw would not be a complete disaster, but a defeat, however unthinkable, would leave us in the mire. With that in mind we think our manager will select his strongest eleven to do battle and wrest the points away from the 'Point.

Young Matty, according to reports, is to be the subject of a bid from English Premier league outfit, Crystal Palace, but we have need of him tomorrow and we hope he's not too distracted by all this talk of his impending transfer. He has, single-handed, gave us the lift that we needed after our lack-lustre start to our Premier league campaign. His movement in the opposition box has led to goals or penalties, as he is lightening quick and defenders can't deal with him and end up fouling him.

We have got to exploit that tomorrow, which means getting the ball in the box with precise passers and not trying to do it with one pass and failing miserably, like last Saturday's efforts. We will need guile to get past the the hosts, they are fighting for points also and we need to stamp our authority in the game early on. We were hoping for a strong referee, but we got Arnold Hunter, so we can expect no help there, but he's better than Crangle, but only just.

We've no injury news, surprise, surprise and we hope Tippers rest on Tuesday night did him some good. In Tuesday night's game, Tony and the Barber, switched positions for the last 25 mins and we thought is Spike trying something to see if Tony could play on the right of midfield, where Faulkner is struggling to make an impact, despite getting a lot of game time. Only time will tell, so it is all systems go for tomorrow, so come on Sky Blues (Yellows actually), lets shag those Rabbits!
