Re: Carlisle United Match Thread

Thought there was precious little difference between the sides today.
The big difference was - 'THE PRECIOUS!'
Super Sean deserved his m.o.m. award after rocking the bar, then scoring two great goals.
Carlisle barely saw the ball in the first five minutes, but then slowly started to dominate possession & for long periods outplayed us.
Fortunately, they failed to convert their possession into goal scoring chances and when they did, there was the 'Big Yin' pulling off some superb saves.
Goalkeeper crisis? What goalkeeper crisis? Chappers always gives his best & it's time the doubters got off his back!
Whilst the goals won us the game, I've got to agree with Yonmon that Nolan was inspirational.
Always cool, calm & collected. He's quietly established himself as an essential midfield general.
Quick thinking in defence or attack, he was simply superb today.
There's despondency on the Carlisle forum, but I thought they were one of the best sides we've played so far this season.
After Keith Curle's pre-match jibe about Pantomime horses, perhaps the joke is on him?
'Why was Cinderella so bad at football?'
'Because she had a pumpkin for a coach!'
