Crewe haven't won in 8, and Carlisle haven't won in 10. In fact Carlisle have thrown away FIVE points by conceding late goals in each of their last 3 games. Hopefully these factors are influencing both teams VERY negatively....
These factors are all very well, but when chips are down things can change.
Knowing that it's a do-or-die time of season, the threatened will start 'doing', and win points they couldn't manage to win previously. Also, they must have fixtures against sides who'll suddenly know for sure they have nothing to play for - neither relegation or promotion - and they'll be thinking about their summer holidays starting early.
NO quarter, NO prisoners, and nothing risked to hopes and assumptions now - the future is in our hands after today's result, and these points will only mean something if we make them count. And that means by adding to them and staying up.
