Histon

“We have a plan B!” announced Steve Fallon in today’s Evening News ahead of tomorrow’s, er, not-very-eagerly-anticipated-at-all Trophy match.

Luckily for Jimmy Quinn and co, U’s Blog managed to infiltrate a Stutes training session earlier this week and get some pictures of the players learning the new system. Given that John Beck (who I like to think of as Geppetto to Fallon’s Pinocchio) is involved, it is perhaps unsurprising that Plan B amounts to little more than an extreme version of Plan A. Apologies for the poor picture quality:

Showing that at least someone involved with Histon FC has a sense of humour, Fallon added: “We have thoughts on how they play but we keep them to ourselves.”

Must be about the only thing you do keep to yourself these days matey. The continual stream of negativity directed at United by the villagers is getting a bit boring now, and is certainly not very becoming of on organisation purporting to be a friendly little family club.

Hopefully we will beat them tomorrow and put them back in their place, but I’m not overly optimistic. Certainly we’ll need to try and get the ball down and play, as we did against Wolves, but of course that’s sometimes easier said than done, especially with weather conditions looking like they may necessitate a more direct approach.

Still, I’m looking forward to the match. Having attended the opening of a public toilet today (I wish I was joking), an afternoon at the Glassworld should be just about bearable.
