Carlisle United (H) January 2nd, 3pm

Is Clarke going for experience and ‘talkers’ at the back because Roberts is a nervous wreck?

Possible mate it’s a good point

Looking at the line ups can see this being a really scrappy game.

Going to keep an eye on Callum Anthony Guy been putting in some good performances apparently for them.Are we 4-3-3?

Not playing a solid left back is a glaring mistake, hope I’m proven wrong.

The side that Guy plays

Have we got a fit left back? Nurse was clearly not fully fit the other night although we now have 2 weeks off so maybe he could have played for a good part of the game.

Alessandra will be 32 next month… so possibly not the fastest sprinter on the pitch!

Google suggests we are a 433. Looks like a team set up not to lose and rely on the counter of 3 or 4 players. Could be a 4231 maybe if you play sincs and bates holding and let Kinsella be the pressing player in the centre of the 3 and then just play any ball he wins left and right to Josh and Wes to do the creative bit. Who knows!

Thought he was way older than that!

One of those names you on occasions see on the vidiprinter scoring a goal for a northern club (hopefully not today).

Made his debut for Oldham on 20th October 2007 so he’s been around for a good while (I actually had a full head of hair in those days so long time ago :joy:)

I’ve seen him play once or twice in the last year or two. Been a bit of a supersub and hardly prolific although has hit the net a little bit recently. I remember him being very well talked about 10 years ago but just doesn’t seem to have pushed on and ended up playing for the likes of Morecambe and Carlisle.

Burnley vs Fulham off tomorrow COVID again I can see a circuit breaker coming to all football very soon if this carries on.

He’s in the squad mate so I’d presume fit, if not I’d say just for pace alone White would be an option.

Again let’s see how it goes.

Just Imagine what they would find if they tested the lower league.

Decided not to buy this one - which is just as well as I find myself sitting in kwikfit having 2 tyres changed.
So, as I’m not watching it will be 5 - 4 to us with roberts scoring in the 95th minute straight from a goal kick…

Prem teams playing lower league opposition next weekend in the FA Cup need we say anymore.

You need to get a grip @BeardyBob. Tread carefully with making bold predictions like that. Remember that Clarke is still trying to mould a winning formula and there is no kwik fix. Hopefully, we won’t be feeling deflated by 5.00pm because we can get a lot of mileage out of another unbeaten run. It sounds like you’re getting tyred of watching the Super Saddlers but I hope that the wheels don’t fall off today against decent opposition. :grin:
