Seventh Heaven!

Will be seventh heaven for United after tomorrows game, when a win over the Ports, would see the Sky Blues leapfrog them and move up to seventh place in the league standings. It will be a tall order, for the Ports, came from two goals down last Saturday and claimed all three points and that must have done their confidence some good. Games between United and the Ports, are usually close run affairs and we won't be surprised if tomorrows match goes the same way.

They're either close run affairs, or one team heavily scores, like Ports, did in the Irish cup semi-final last season or that United did to them in the league cup two seasons ago, but in all honesty we can't see that happening in tomorrows game.  It may well come down to who takes their chances and Ports have two formidable strikers in Murray and Twigg. But United are no slouches in that department also, as we have Cush and the veteran Tippers and they both should start tomorrow's game.

It will be interesting to see if young Matty, gets the vote too, he should be rested after his trip to Russia, as he only got less than half an hour, on Wednesday night. Spike, in an interview today, hinted that maybe he could bring JT into his starting line-up and Steeky as well, but we think he will stick by Ruddy and leave Steeky, for back-up. But what do we know, we never try to second guess our Fergie, but he has a choice to make in midfield.

We had been crying out for the Barber, to be given a run out, but he flopped on Wednesday night and he may find himself on bench or in the reserves. The same could be said for the two Kane's, Owen and Tony. Then there is the enigma that is Willie Faulkner, who Spike, seems to rate, but he flatters to deceive as far as we are concerned. Maggers, playing up front, was not an unqualified success, but his shot late in the game, offered us some hope in the dying mins on Wednesday.

But we expect Spike, to go for a midfield of Tony, Owen, Jenks and Cush, with Tippers and  Matty up front. JT, could come into the back four, at the expense of Rodger or Kyley, both of whom were poor on Wednesday, but we think he has to pick one of the two of them and we would go for Kyley. We just maybe have put the 'kiss of death' on Kyley, but we hope not. It could come down to who wants it most tomorrow, so come Sky Blues, lets shag those apple pickers!
