Jesus. Open game as expect but should be 1 up every day of the week. Keep creating and take the next one

Here we go... people have been crying out for 442 as though it fixes all problems.

lets hope their 433 doesn’t lead to us being overrun in midfield!

 

Hope you're right about the midfield--22 mins gone and Carlisle have already had 7 shots on goal (3 on target) PV 4 shots (Nil on target!)

Nil on target but missed a sitter and should be in the lead

Midfield is way too easy to get through

[Iron Curtain]

442

We are being overrun in midfield.

At the end of the game Askey will moan saying the fans wanted 4-4-2 and being overrun is the reason we dont start like that normally.

Looks like he will be right.

Their 433 is doing to us what we did to teams last year. Lots of press. Pack the middle.

Rodneys sitter aside they look better than us.

Biggest issue is neither Burgess or Whitehead are defensive minded. Had we had Joyce and Colon on I think we would look less exposed at times in midfield. Having an almost complete new defence today is far from ideal also don’t forget.

Losing key players through injury is a big disruption, as is playing a new formation too with a central midfield pairing that no one could have predicted.  Given all that I think we will do well to get a result with so many changes.

Clark already showing his quality. Would be amazing to get him permanently, or even for the whole season again.

He dosent have to pick 442 ffs. He and the coaching staff clearly thought it was the way to go! We’ve created nothing in the last two league matches and he clearly recognises that. 

They may have been better. But we should be 1-0.

Whitehead. Moron. 

[THE DAD]

Whitehead. Moron. 

Lucky boy!

[CambridgeDon]

Terrible tackle by Whitehead after the ball had gone - yellow card but could easily have been a red.

Yes, complete moron

[Jacko51]

Ridiculous challenge by Whitehead.
