Cup Final!

We at Sky Blue Sport, think United should approach this game like a cup final. If we lose, we will slip further behind the elusive 7th spot, which guarantees entry into the play-off for our league's third Euro place and we want to be involved in that surely, its our one realistic aim. Our manager was at pains to say we had a fully fit squad and we think this includes striker Tippers. If Tippers is fit, he should be brought into the starting line-up for we will need his guile and cunning tomorrow.

Young Matty, is unavailable as he is in Russia with the Norn Iron undr-19 squad and we will have a need of a proven goal-scorer, to back up our talisman and leading scorer, Cush. Tippers, doesn't entirely fit the bill, but he's all we have got, in the absence of young Matty and Darhen, who's completely out of favour, only 5 appearances so far this term. The experiment of playing Jenks, up front has shot its bolt as far as we are concerned, but Spike, may think otherwise.

We were crying out for a bit of width last Saturday, but Spike's sub, when he took Faulkner off, was like for like, as he brought on Thommo. We are not saying Thommo, didn't play well when he came on, in truth he was our best player in midfield, but we thought we were crying out for a wide player, to get round the back of the Glens defence and maybe carve an opening, instead of the usual crosses from deep, which the Glens defence dealt capably with.

Our opponents tomorrow the Ducks, are usually well organised in defence and like to get the ball down and play. As their keeper, Alvin Rouse, was sent-off last week, we could face their second-string keeper and we will be looking for Cush, to test him early on in the game, if he has his shooting boots on, you never know with Cush. But he is if nothing unpredictable and that's why we love him, he is a real match-winner and a wholehearted player to boot.

The weather forecast is not looking too promising and maybe the weather will play a part in the result of this game, it could be survival of the fittest. Unfortunately we will not have a presence at this game, as our Sammy, who was due to drive has been told, in no uncertain circumstances, he has to stay at home and Omar's not confident about driving so far. We will not be there in body, but we will be there in spirit, so come Sky Blues, lets shag these Ducks!
