Happy New Year

Happy New Year everyone. Honestly, you go away for five days and suddenly there’s more United news than you can shake a mistletoe-covered stick at: Lewer getting upset about alleged racist abuse directed at Lemu; Jimmy and the Pittster getting upset by Histon’s tactics; Histon getting upset about, well, just about everything.

I must say Steve Fallon(pictured) has gone down in my estimation after the continual stream of negative comments in the press over the last week or so. His Beck-style ramblings only add strength to the rumours that JB wears the trousers in their particular relationship. Moreover they are not especially befitting of someone who is thought of by many as one of United’s greatest ever servants. With the trophy game fast approaching, I’m half expecting one of the headlines in next weeks CEN to be FALLON: UNITED TO BLAME FOR DEATH OF DIANA, or something.

On the pitch, I guess a return of four points from a possible nine could be better and could be worse. Having not seen the first two games I’m not in the best position to comment, but certainly yesterday’s match was one from which we could have claimed at least a point, even though it wasn’t the best performance. We seem to lack a bit of guile in midfield at the moment – Reed and Brown are too similar to play together, and although Mark Convery has done little to impress in his United career so far, maybe it is time for him to have an extended run in the team.

And up front we could do with another little Knights-type player to freshen things up. Hopefully JQ is thinking along similar lines with the transfer window now wide open. Meanwhile the current lot will need to up their game a bit if we’re going to do anything at Wolves on Saturday.
