Carlisle Match thread

Changes aplenty with Maher, Amos, JMD, Khan and Simmonds all coming in.

I thought maybe 3 so 5 a bit of a shock, but it’s a strong squad, standards and expectations are high, and that’s as it should be. UTM

There’s goals in that team

Looks an attacking set up - presumably 4-2-3-1 and suppose it could be either JMD or Khan at 10 and the other wide with Simmonds?

Is that 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1?

Looks like Clifton and Hunt in central midfield, JMD, Simmonds and Khan as an attacking 3 with Simmonds in the McAtee role, and Taylor just ahead?

Crocombe

Efete
Maher
Waterfall
Amoss

JMD
Khan
Hunt
Clifton

Simmonds
Taylor

Subs
Smith
Glennon
Green
Holohan
Kiernen
Orsi

So, can anyone actually post the Official team for tonight?

Excellent, thank you.

You appear to be under the misapprehension that the rest of us are running this site to provide you with a live news service.

Ooooh, get you!!  Who ruffled your feathers tonight.

Quoted from Geordie Mariner 66

Agree - but not sure for which team!

Ballsy to start without Holohan or Green

Its a suprising lineup, I definately thought thered be changes in attack, suprised at ones like glennon but maybe he just thinks some need a rest. Interested to see the role that clifton plays.

Hope JMD does the business as i've been going on about it all season. I think him and khan combine well so glad hes gone with putting both in.

Quoted from Limerick Mariner

Said Saturday that Holohan and Hunt can't be in the same line up and stand by that.
Think it's a good starting 11

Being a Yorkie, Paul ‘Urst should be used to dropping his H’s.

What 5 changes does give you, is a sizeable injection of energy and freshness, at least in theory. Hope to see an urgent, hard running performance.

Quoted from WHYWONTYOULETMESIGNUP

Whys that?

Wot?
Why can't they play in the same side? To similar, as shown on Saturday.
Why is it a good 11? My opinion.

Lot of changes today but feels like the right ones were made.

Ooopsie

What the hell was that 0-1, easy peasy

Oh ffs, it's way too easy.

Well gonna need them attacking players now arent we

Ball went out there before 🥅

My stream is terrible, ridiculously jumpy

Quoted from pontoonlew

My stream is terrible, ridiculously jumpy

Mines perfect visually but no audio having to have thw radio on my phone and cant get them to line up

All seems abit predictable at the minute. Need some JMD magic

Quoted from pontoonlew

My stream is terrible, ridiculously jumpy

Spot on for me, usually is.

Hows the ref not just given that on JMD

100% a foul on jmd

The quality of refereeing in this league is frankly embarrassing

JMD showing something we’ve been lacking recently.

Effete is a completely different player this season, his confidence is absolutely shot

Won a corner and instead of trying to take a proper corner we try some training ground nonsense. Just whip it into the box and see if somebody can get a head on it ffs.

Khan is quality, almost scores from nothing

Khan came that close then I was half celebrating as it went past the post

We certainly look more dynamic up front, just will it pay off

First few minutes we look good, then gave them an easy goal. Can't pass, can't hit a target with a free kick. Huff and puff in attack with no steel.

Last season we scored a ton of goals from set pieces by just sticking it on Waterfall’s head - why have we stopped doing that?

Hunt looks really classy tonight, like a league 2 pirlo

Quoted from MaccasBoots

Unbelievable really. Especially considering the amount of goals waterfall scored from Hunts corners

I’m not sure it’s confidence with Efete as he’s seeing plenty of ball and not hiding from taking it, maybe he’s taking time to adjust playing against better players.

Although Simmonds and Richardson look tidy on the ball, I’d like to see Orsi close to Taylor

We aren’t playing badly just lacking creating clear cut chances I just hope they don’t sneak another during our solid spells

Jesus Christ that was horrific from efete

Oh efete. Deary me

Quoted from Wiley2405

Commentators curse.

Efete member up 0-2

Effete . Omg .

intercourse off Efete! 😡

I love Efete, but at this point dropping him for a bit might honestly be in his best interests

FFS. Why is Waterfall telling Efete to make that pass, its a poor pass don't get me wrong but just tell him to get rid

Our passing especially out from the back has been crap tonight .
They all seem to need more than a couple of touches to find a man who by then is covered by one of their players.

An absolute Macguire of a performance from Efete

Own worst enemy. Can't be making stupid mistakes like that, not getting the ball forward often enough, midfield is playing too deep leaving Taylor isolated and players like Kahn not getting the ball to their feet to beat defenders.

Quoted from promotion plaice

Commentators curse.

Sorry lads

Normal corner please

We never look threatening at all. JMD's delivery awful. Kahn the only really bright spot. Very poor.

2nd down to waterfall as much as Efete as
he told him where to put it without looking himself

We've had chances they have scored there's one from our mistake, next goal vital

Quoted from Madeleymariner

I don't think Waterfall should have to teach him how to kick a football.

Efete absolutely awful defensively and pretty good attacking.
Symonds anonymous.
I actually think midfield 4 and Taylor are doing well, especially Kahn. Amos is doing well going forward and Waterfall is steady.

It's strange because we're 2-0 down but I enjoyed most of that half. I am enjoying watching that midfield 4 we're just lacking a McAtee and when we do go slightly longer Taylor needs more support.

Quoted from zorro_is_a_Mariner

That’s been the story most of the season and our chances have all been from a distance and not troubled their keeper .
We don’t seem to have anyone that can pass a man or unlock a defence

Well to be honest its a load of sheit

It’s hard for Efete to play worse than he has all season but fair play to him, he’s giving it a damn good go

2/3shots in the 1st half from Town, that's very poor for a home team. No drive from midfield just passing back and sideways.

Just got the big crowd curse of blundell park for the entire season it looks like

The thing with McAtee is not just what he does on the ball but what he does off it .
He closes every defender with the ball down and will put a keeper under pressure from pass backs ect .
This doesn’t give them anytime to make a good pass and find a man , our strikers need to put themselves about a bit more off the ball

Cropper needs to hurry up and come back from injury. Efetes confidence has clearly gone, can’t defend for excrement at the moment and his ‘good spells’ going forward arent actually doing anything. At least with Cropper he’s relatively solid at defending and we pose more of a threat from his throws than Efetes half hearted runs forward that he checks backwards for the majority of the time.

Only JMD, Khan and Waterfall playing with any conviction.Bring back Cropper as soon as he is fit.

Amazing how the stats show us having the most possession, successful passes, more shots and spent twice as much time in their 3rd but we are 2-0 down. Shows how toothless we are and we really are our own worst enemy at times. I enjoyed that first half and felt we were going tk get back into it but then a completely stupid moment ruins the game for us

Our home record is now becoming a major concern if it wasn't already, good job our away record is so good.

As I said before the season started consolidation would do me.

Weird half. We looked much tidier on the ball than Saturday but take too long to provide the vital pass. Khan has been impressive.

Carlisle have done nothing but pounce on two mistakes (fair play to them) while we've dominated possession. Crowd needs to get into it more.

Efete needs dropping but I fear for him based on the mood on Twitter tonight. Best close his DMs.

got to make a change at half time

Ryan Bennet looking a very good option now.

We're not going to score when we only have 2 or 3 in the box when we break and they're defending with 5 or 6. I've thought all game all 3 sections of the team look disjointed, defence isn't doing the same as the midfield and the midfielslds the same with the strikers

Need to work on first halves in general can only think of newport where weve had a good one

Set peices, how do we have all the same takers and people in the box and have lost so much quality on set peices

sounds like theres nobody there

Quoted from bobbyturtle

got to make a change at half time

Looks like we’ll have to wait until the 70th minute

Let's hope we can do an England against Germany last night without the goalkeeper spill at the end.

Woke up and decided to wacth.  Loos and sounds like  a friendly.  Town gutless.

Quoted from bawarmy

Ryan Bennet looking a very good option now.

Can he fill in at right back?

I'm actually worried. We have zero goal threat but have started conceding. It's a recipe for a bad season .

This is painful to watch. Absolutely zero, "oomph." Side to side and backward passing followed by an aimless punt upfield. Why is Taylor on his own (when he's getting no joy up there anyway) when we're 2-0 down? No wonder the crowd is so quiet.

Simmonds trying a cut inside when JMD was free, he’s been completely ineffictive

Simmons and Taylor off for Orsi and Richardson

get in. good for him

Efete with a tap in, great low cross from Khan

Effete deserves that, been class all night

GET IN EFETE! Absolutely made up for him

Efete made up for his mistake 1-2

Cmon town lets deny them their first away win

Get in.  Khan best Town player by far.   Changes seem to have made a difference.

Cmon now!!! Forget first half put them under pressure

Be good for Effete's confidence to get a goal. Kahn looking like a great piece of business now he's reaching full fitness.

Everything I say in this threat goes the opposite way so aren’t gonna draw and we defiantly aren’t going to win.

That's immediately better after the subs. Some speed and movement up front which has been badly missing up until then. Bit of confidence for Efete hopefully.

Get ready for another frustrating ending with lots of time wasting and cowardly officials who won't book them for it.

Look like a different team now with these two up front

Look how much better we are without slow Taylor.
Hate to say it but told you so.

He shouldn’t be starting.

Still haven’t created enough

Don't know which is more frustrating; The game or my stream stopping and starting

Apart from a 10 minute bright period after the subs we were just not good enough again.
