Fluffy Ducks!

If it seems a silly headline, its not meant to be taking seriously, as we know the visitors will be anything except fluffy. Meetings between ourselves and the men from Fermanagh, tend to be feisty encounters and we at 'Sport expect tomorrows game to be no exception. If all our players came through unscathed after last weeks encounter with Chickenville, we'll not be surprised to see our manager select the same side.

It all depends if Spike, thinks young Matty, is not too distracted by his time in London last week where he was on trial at Crystal Palace. Its not thought that on-loan signing, Gareth Rodger, will get a s start, or whether he will need yet another weeks rehabilitation in Perth, to get fully fit. If Matty is not available for selection, we expect Spike, to select Darhen, alongside Tippers, but we really need Matty on, to keep on kick-starting our season.

After two league victories in succession, against Glentoran  and Chickenville, totally unexpected we should in all fairness say, we now come up against a so called lesser team. But we know from painful experience in this league, every team has the potential to beat every other team, so we must be wary and not count our chickens (fluffy ducks), before they're hatched. With our old friend Alvin Rouse, in nets for the ducks, we must be patient and not play to their strengths.

No high balls into the box, where Rouse and the Ducks defence will be all over them. Better show some subtlety and exploit  them with Matty's pace and the youngsters got pace to burn and he's not afraid to take defenders on, as Chickenville found to their cost last Saturday. If we turn in a committed performance, with everybody United, we think we will have too much firepower for the Ducks. So come on Sky Blues, lets us de-fluff those ducklings!
