Blues:2 U's:0 - off our trolleys

It’s always weird when you see footballers off duty, going about the mundane tasks of their daily lives.

Earlier today I was in Royston Tesco, and who should happen to be wandering round the store, looking a bit gormless, but United winger Robbie Willmott. If I was being cruel I might say that young Willmott has spent most of his on-pitch time this season wandering around looking a bit gormless. And indeed it seems he and his team mates put in a performance barely worthy of Poundworld during last night’s defeat at Grays.

I wasn’t at the match, but judging by the radio commentary it was a fairly abysmal 90 minutes, with none of the players covering themselves in glory. And it leaves Martin Ling with a few selection posers ahead of Sunday’s encounter with the back-in-form-at-just-the-wrong-time-actually Villagers.

In the last couple of games I’ve been to, the midfield has looked weak, so I would be tempted to make changes there – perhaps ditching Willmott and Jai Reason and bringing in Sam Ives and Jordan Patrick. The problem with that is that all the CRC players are so tiny, so maybe it's time to consider Ben Farrell, who would offer a more physical option.

I’m really not sure what the solution is, but what isn’t in doubt is the kind of opposition we will be facing on Sunday. Histon will be their usual hard-working, physical selves, and if United can’t compete in that department then we’ll be in trouble.
