Switch Time!

With exactly a third of the league gone before the 'switch', it's surely time for United to 'switch' and instead of losing 7 and winning 4, win 7 and hope for the best in the other 4 and then maybe we can think of progressing into the top six. The matches we've lost, with the exception of the Glenavon game, have all been by a solitary goal, so maybe we're not too far away. As I said the Glenavon game was an exception and we were told it was down to indiscipline in the 'ranks', so surely these 'ranks' owe us the supporters a more professional attitude in the next round of games. Our injury crisis has deepened and at present we're minus four central defenders, with Albert Watson out with a fractured jaw, added to the already injured, Paul Muir and Gary Haveron, while Mark Surgenor reportedly has Swine flu. So it's not going to be easy as in our next three games, we face a visit to Solitude to play the Reds and then entertain Dungannon and the 'Scum' at the Showgrounds. We lost to all three of these teams and need to claim all 9 points this time around, but we would probably settle for 7, anything else is unthinkable. Therefore there's really no pressure on the team, all they need to do is go about their business and who better to lead by example than team Captain Kevin Kelbie, who has just notched up his 150th appearance for the club, if he can return to his true form then there's nothing to stop us. So come on Sky Blues, let's get stuck into these 'fat' love children, you'll notice I did say fat, just in case somebody's eyesight is as poor as their hearing, but then again, that's another story!
