Eight Days!

Its still only 8 days since our heroes turned in that despicable performance against the Coleraine scum and the hurt is still there. But the good news is, we welcome back Sammy Patterson, into the Sky Blue Sport fold for the first time since we succumbed to the scum on Boxing Day. Sammy, missed our victory over Ports, Carrick, our exit from the Irish cup and our Shield triumph through illness.

But he is back and raring to go and see if he can cheer United to victory over the East Belfast Glens. The Glens should be cock-a-hoop after their victory at Lurgan, but we're sure it is tempered by the rumour that the bookies got a cleaning, paying out to a victory to the Glens by two clear goals.

United should welcome back JT and Nathan Hanley, free from suspension, but will Spike, get JT to shore up our leaky defence, which has been breached 10 times in the league, in his absence. The one selection that United fans want to see, is Dwayne Nelson, back in goals as Buckets, is continuing in his slip-shod fashion.

It will be a tough game at the Oval tomorrow, but its only the start of eleven tough games to the end of this season and we have got to be up for them all. We have got to get a result tomorrow if we are to have any chance of a top six place after Easter Tuesday, or seventh place in the league, come the end of the season.

Will Spike, be bold and start with two strikers upfront, or will he go with the formation which just lost in us three league games in a row. Jenks, tries hard but he's not a striker, he's better in midfield with Gavin, beside him (or Tony) and leave the striking to the strikers. So come Sky Blues, lets get back to winning ways and shag those wise men from the East!
