Carlisle (H) Match Thread

Central defence on the front foot, played very well and smothered their forwards.

Hess and Clifton best two central midfielders on the park. When was the last time we could say about our midfield being better than our opponents?

Nearly 90 minutes under Ahkeem's belt.

And Vernam rounds off a good performance with a superb cross for the winner.

Not a great game and plenty still to work on, but a bit of progression and a noticeable improvement in how quickly we won the ball back with younger and quicker players on the pitch.

What a relief. Nice when that one went in. We are usually on the end of last minute goals. Looking upwards now.

Not getting carried away, but that was better, not great, just better
Defence did it's job, macca didn't make a save I don't think?

Hess is a league 1 player, simple as that
Clifton back to how we remember
Vernam on his day, is a joy to watch, one of them players that gets you excited when he has the ball

Rose did well
Dennis anonymous, but that's the kind of striker he is, reminds me of Amond, if we had a creative midfielder he would do better than he is doing.

Easy to say why are we not getting the youngsters on, but would he get this reaction if we lost 1-0, but brought on 3 youth players? Nope, he has a job to keep at the end of the day.

We did a great job of closing down higher up the pitch, thank goodness Collins is on a 2 match ban.
Was worried we hit the Parslow point when he brought Pollock on. Need to put out same 11, poss Grayson for Ring at Notts C.
Hess Clifton Vernam played well, Rose decent, but Davies/Whitmore pairing totally solid and dealt with everything that got near the pen area and I dont think Whitmore lost a header or tackle all game.

I watched the first 65 minutes on ifollow before I had to work and thought we worked harder, didn't look too improved in the first half but came out really strongly in the second half and was enjoying watching. Vernams improving with the game time think he can be just as good as Embleton was in the first half of the season

Apart from brilliant one handed save at start of second

Much improved (not hard) and thoroughly entertaining game as both sides went all out for the win.

Yeah, you're spot on there actually

Just seen the score good win! Is it just a coincidence that without Collins in we don't leak goals   UTM

We've done the double over a team who would have been fairly secure in the play off positions now had they done what a lot of other teams have done to us this season.
