The Carlisle fans really don’t like Ritchie Bennett... Their forum is full of people sl*gging him off saying he is useless.

First name of the team sheet if I was JA.... go and show them son!!

I can't really see Cullen replacing Barnett or Pope as the starter because  we are a short team, particularly without Crookes at the back. We need one of them when defending corners.

Saturday’s referee is Martin Coy, who somehow  managed to miss a Newport County defender playing volleyball in his own penalty area last year. I hope he’s a stronger prescription this year. 

Makes a change from a new recruit, whether he has learnt much is a different matter.

I accept your opinion, but he’s played 988 minutes scores every 247 minutes. I personally think there are others in front of him, but good to hear your opinion

I hope we don’t put too much emphasis on having an unbeaten home record. I’d like to take the game to other teams and look to get the three points instead of going for a boring draw to protect the run. It would be brilliant to go unbeaten at home all season, but that’s very unlikely.

 

Just hope if Askey starts with the same team he doesn’t wait until the 80th minute to bring on a sub if we are losing or drawing.

Cullen needs to be given a chance up front to show if he can carry on scoring.

He could make a big difference to our attack especially at home games where we have to grind down the opposition who come to park the bus and try to pinch a goal.

Bennett is a reasonable League 2 player. Good at some things and bad at others. Good for double figures.

I do think Cullen deserves a chance; 4 in 4 starts and proven at this level. Issue is, is that Bennett is excellent at pressing which is obviously the cornerstone of Askey's tactics. Even when Bennett is poor in front of goal (as he has been for 5ish games), he has been excellent at harrying defenders and leading the press from the front. Can Cullen provide the same as a lone striker? Maybe get Amoo to drift inside and almost play centrally, as he has for Cambridge? There's no question of deviating from 433 as that system has made our team look a lot better than its constituent parts in recent weeks.

Big decisions. We've got nothing on how Carlisle will set up on Saturday and the cliched new manager bounce will be out for us. Take a scrappy win. 1-0 Vale.

Have you got a link, because I can't find any such thing.

Very easy decision for me if is one up front then it is Tom Popw by a country mile!
