Carlisle match thread

Should be OK as long as they got the covers on after the frost warnings on the weather forecasts yesterday.
 
ASFC: Rodak, Pearson, Hughes, Beckles, Rodgers, McConville, Conneely, Davies, Boco, McCartan, Kee v @officialcufc
 
Was a great display and a point was well deserved, even 3 wouldn't have been unjust imho. every man put a display in today, considering 80 mins with 10 men superb well done Stanley, Carlisles manner of play reminded me of satanage how they finished with 11 men is one of lifes mysterys.
 
For Harvey Rodgers -
'Now is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer by this son of York'.
What a debut for this young player. He was everywhere, solid in defence, dangerous in attack. So nearly scored from a couple of corners. Should have got 'm.o.m' IMHO.
When Pearson went in the 12th minute I thought we were in for a thrashing, but no! I've never seen a more inspired display from 10 men. Only 39% possession but 100% commitment, from minute 12 to minute 94.

A good point but it could have easily been three if we had made substitutions earlier. Billy was not in the game second half and should have come off. We have a striker on loan from Hull so why not use him??? The goal from shay was a cracker. Although shay was short of on fitness as is Billy. Rogers should have been man of the match for me, he was a class act. Davies was brilliant with his pace. The Don came on and that was the game changer. Beccles was good today. He and the Don showed true class as did the loan players, The lad from Sheffield was a live wire but should have been on sooner. This part of our tactics let us down badly today. We should have used all three subs but we didn't and come away with a good point. I believe we could have won that game. There was a good crowd today which is more like it. We still have a communication problem with our regular players yet the loan players made some fantastic passes. Maybe there lessons to be learnt there. The girl who worked the line on our side was brilliant, She must have been the best official we have had at our ground this season I don't think she made one wrong call all afternoon. But let's take the point and build on that. I felt bad for Matty pearson as he did get the ball and maybe judged a little harsh depending on the angle the tackle was seen from.
 
Thought Billy Kee did an excellent job of harassing them and stopping them play it out of defence. Not sure its fair to suggested the substitutions were not on the ball as tactically we rescued a needed point.

At 1-1 with ten men I'm not sure putting someone that we signed the day before was the right idea but on saying that he did look the part.

I thought the straight red was harsh as Matty did get the ball , the Carlisle player no 12 hesitated before going into a dramatic roll worthy of an Oscar , but the ref bought it,radio commentary said he was limping badly.?????????? he continued to run and player 90 mins, that's how bad a tackle it was. A lot sat near us all said the same, not a red card. I hope Stanley appeal it BUT I have only seen it live, have yet to see a replay.
