Two minute guide to: Carlisle Utd
We take a look ahead to our third away trip of the season with our OVF two minute guide…
Team news
The Valiants face some welcome selection issues following the midweek win over Bury. Striker Gavin Tomlin could be fit to return as could the rested Lee Hughes. Tom Pope looks a certain starter after three goals in the last two games.
Wingers Jennison Myrie-Williams and Kaid Mohamed may also make the starting eleven but the main issue would be the back four.
Dan Jones is ruled out but Adam Yates and Liam Chilvers should play as full-backs while Liam Chilvers is expected to partner Chris Robertson in the centre.
Possible Vale XI:
Neal
Yates – Robertson – Chilvers – Dickinson
Myrie-Williams – Griffith – Lines – Loft
Hughes – Pope
