Their regular CB pairing may both be out of the game due to injury?

[Rene Artois]

Their danger man is Regan Linney who is the joint top scorer in the division with 9 goals.

In terms of minutes played per goal scored:

1) D. Whitehall (6) 77 mins per goal.
2) E. Dieseruvwe (9) 91 mins pg.
3) T. Works (4) 108 mins pg.
4) D. Howe (5) 114 mins pg.
5) L. Norris (4) 117 mins pg.

Great to have two players in the top 5.

[Rene Artois]

They are making a bit of a day of it at Brunton Park:

Carlisle Fan Zone

[Rene Artois]

When do they score?

0 to 15 = 5
16 to 30 = 2
31 to 45 = 1

46 to 60 = 6
61 to 75 = 3
75 to 90 = 6
90 &beyond = 1

24 goals.

Only failed to score in two games. Those two games were against (now) 2nd placed Rochdale and (now) 8th placed York.

Do they struggle against those at the business end of the table?

They seem to start fast? If we don’t concede in the first 15, then hopefully we can capitalise from 16min to half time.
Strong at the start & end of second half.
They seem to have a nap in the middle of the second half – substitutions at 60 mins and hopefully take advantage.

Now, I don’t think they’ll score against us.

Iron 3-0 umbrians

[Rene Artois]

Carlisle have played 3 times following a midweek game so far this season:

P3 W1 D0 L2 F4 A4

H Rochdale 0-2
H Truro 3-0
A Sutton 1-2

Likewise, we are:

P3 W2 D1 L0 F7 A1

A Southend 2-0
H Truro 4-0
A Brackley 1-1

I’ve had an acca including a win to us.
And a separate 3-1 (20/1) to us.

Sorry Fansy.

However, I only have a tenner per set of fixtures.

All under control here :-)

Thanks, Rene. That sounds about right.

Crap weather but it made the drive back home an enjoyable one :-)

You don’t replace Clunan, you slam the door behind him. Awful player

We look a much more formidable team now.
AB seems to have sorted the defence out now too.
Much more dynamic breaking forward.
Speed kills.

Would they have developed into the same players that they are now if the academy/U18s hadn’t been disbanded?

The nutshell answer is: Yes
Reason: Sold / Released before it was closed. In Dec’s case… 12 years earlier.

[Rene Artois]

They were all shown the door or sold before the Academy was terminated.
I think TSF was in the senior year of the last batch of U18s and completed his Apprenticeship by the end of its last full year.
If memory serves, it was closed at the beginning of the following season.

I remember going to a Carlisle game by stopping off in Leeds and taking the Settle- Carlisle line to please a train-fan friend.
LONG time ago – appalling weather, horrendous playing conditions – but I think we won. I got soaked to the skin and somehow dodged pneumonia.
Anyone remember what season that might have been?

Is that the game where the Ref was going to abandon the game but Stevie Lister told him in so many words of what the outcome would be if he did?
Think it was Feb 1989? We won 3-0.

Thinking about it – I think the Steve Lister ‘conversation’ with the ref was at Torquay… old age!

[Rene Artois]

My memory thought it was actually raining pretty heavy during the game?
I do remember the farcical conditions though.

First 10 games in 2024-25 of the newly promoted teams:

Tamworth 14pts
Yeovil 13pts
Boston 9pts
Braintree 7pts

I’m thinking 9pts for us.
Hopefully I’m very wrong and we tally double that figure.

So pleased to be wrong again!

22 points.

Say we are staying up, say we are staying up!

Delighted if we end up in a play off spot at season’s end.

[Rene Artois]

1-1 draw

0-0 half time

Howe to score between 70 to 80th minute.
Shrimpers equalise 90 +5 to 90 +10

5 yellows, 1 red card (us, 80th to 90th minute)

Att: 8,975
Assist: CR10

[Rene Artois]

When they’ve scored their goals at home:

First Quarter: 2min & 11min
Second Quarter: 31min
Third Quarter: no goals
Last Quarter: 80min, 84min & 90min
After Hours: 90 +15 min

Highest gate to date: 8,735

With four of their seven goals coming in and beyond the 80th minute… it’s going to be a long edgy game.
Rotund ladies & singing.

[Rene Artois]

Dear AB

Please play the fox in the box, the round peg in the round hole, let dog see the rabbit.
Play Howe through the middle – preferably with Whitehall.
Let’s play to his strengths.
He passes the ball in to the net for fun.

Best regards
Monsieur Artois

[Rene Artois]

Still undefeated.
Ewing missed.
I’d like to see Howe down the middle.

[Rene Artois]

3-1
Howitzer, JR Ewing & Les Dawson to score for us.
Att: 4,135

Is Rodders available?

Seemingly not. Interesting that he’s airbrushed his time at the Iron from history though…

Ha ha, that’s convenient!

I bet he hasn’t airbrushed and returned his £500k a year salary – £250k after Swann’s cutbacks?

What did he actually achieve / do whilst at the club – even had his own tea boy (coffee) in Gricey.

The 3 day music fest was his greatest achievement… oh,,, erm… one moment,,, lol

[Rene Artois]

Howitzer – natural born goal scorer – never a risk.

Just pleased that the BoD read this site.

Hapi Dayz!

I wonder what the National League would have done if it was Truro against Carlisle or Gateshead, to me the ref should have let us take the free kick and blown for time

Agreed.

Perhaps his carer was procuring refreshments and the said person was alerting him to the fact that he desperately needed to use the facilities?
