Total Respect To Carlisle United

[clapham_gull]

Best away side (and best game) this season by a long way.

Left my seat slightly early to catch train home wrong but was rewarded by seeing the winner smacked in from close quarters on the track.

Two points today, some supporters need to grasp some simple maths to work out where the five minutes came from..

.. and two, we weren't very good at times or pretty today (the goalie kicking it out, remember that from the old days) but we stuck in and won.

That must be a misprint in Abbot's interview as Adkins said that every manager in the league says Southampton are the best side they've played.

I think some people are being a bit harsh on Tommy today, I don't think he was really at fault for anything and sure the defence did look shakey but i think it's more the case that this is the first time the back four has been changed around in the league for quite a while. If it had been Adam coming in for Tommy after he had, had a long run in the team we would have seen the same peformance.

It's also worth noting that greer normally plays on the right and el abd on the left, today greer was on the left and elphick on the right, so greer would have needed time to get his bearings.

I thought this:

1) Tommy E is appalling with the ball at his feet.

2) Mr Dicker had a stinker.

3) Mr Greer was average at best.

4) Mr Wood has a real struggle controlling a ball for a layoff.

5) Mr Murray was taken off too early.

6) All the player cannot head the ball towards goal for love nor money,.... appalling.

7) Mr Noone needs to be given the ball at the half way line,... not 20 yards from their line, he hasnt got room to get up a run.

8) I enjoyed the game despite the above.

Yes damn ankergren for "pissing" around with it and not hoofing it straight up the field only for it to come straight back

Seemed to take him a while. Maybe Gus should get him a TOMTOM?

Really enjoyed watching Carlisle today, they took the game to us and made us work hard, it all made for a very entertaining game of football and whilst I'm chuffed we got the result it was pleasing to watch a side try and play football and in a good spirit too. Well done to them and I hope they stuff Bournemouth in a few weeks and do us a favour.

How many carlisle there today?

 

[The Fifth Column]

Not very many, looked less than 150 tops. Fair play its a shitter of a trip although they did get to see a cracker of a game.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Maybe 300?

Finally a team had some balls to take us on and it made for a great spectacle. I would be very proud of that performance, if I were a Carlisle fan, particularly as they have just had a long midweek trip to Charlton. Probably too late for them to make a playoff charge, but you never know.

Southampton talk of catching us and they are ten points behind. Carlisle are ten behind the last playoff spot, but have two games in hand.

How many carlisle there today?

I think it was 227.
