We're United!

With the news that Tony Kane and Gavin Taggart, have been reinstated after their suspensions were revoked, we're truly United again. It's great to see two lads, that never gave less than 100%, every time they pulled a Sky Blue jersey on, back in the fold. It gives our manager, two extra players in his panel and maybe he'll be able to give the youngsters a bit of a break, but not we pray, Matty!

According to Stephen Alexander, of the BT, Matty is not long for these shores and we should savour every moment we can and we'll appreciate what a football talent he is. Stephen, is preaching to the converted as far as Sky Blue Sport is concerned, for we saw him when had yet to make his senior debut, playing for the reserves and we were begging our manager to give him  a start in the team, long before he did.

There's an old saying that goes,'if you're big enough, you're old enough' and Matty's definitely big enough and at sixteen, he's definitely old enough as well. But we digress, what of the team for tomorrow's game, we hear you ask? Definitely missing is on-loan signing Gareth Rodger, out with a hamstring injury, which usually takes 4 to 6 weeks to heal properly, but what do we know?

But he's a young man and he could be a quick healer, we'll just have to wait and see. Does the manager continue with his policy of slotting Captain Jimer in alongside side JT, or does he call Kyley or take a chance on Paddy Mac. A hard choice but one he has to get correct, for Chickenville, will seek out any weak spots and exploit them relentlessly.

Does he take a chance on Gavin or Tony, both restored to the fold and move Owen Kane, back up to centre-midfield, where he had such an impact last Saturday, before he had to revert to rightback when Rodger's had to come off. Barring injuries and we are the last to know about them, we expect, Jenks, Faulkner and Cush to play in midfield and Tippers and Matty up front.

The manager appeared to be unhappy with Dwayne's positioning for the Glens goal, but we expect him to get the nod, although Blaney's fit again, but Dwayne did show good composure when we got our noses in front last Saturday. That only leaves the most improved player to mention, Mike Ruddy. Mike has made the leftback berth his own after replacing Steeky, long may he continue in the vein.

So its all systems for three points tomorrow, it'll definitely will not be easy, but we must be up for it. We must forget about all that happened last season, including our famous victory in the Irish cup game. This is a new season and a new ball game and we should want to stamp our authority on the game as we are at home, so come on Sky Blues, lets shag those North Belfast Chickens!
