wow they do like to make it difficult.
In the 1st minute, we failed to close down one of Carlisle's midfileders who had a terrific shot, Elliott spilled it and their striker put it over when it was easier to put it in the net.
After that we settled down and when we managed to play the ball on the ground we did well, first goal the ball came in from the right (Waggy I think) and Jackson was unmarked at the far post to slot it in, Joe was always a threat, he is certainly fast and chased lost causes and made them his, scored a good goal and then the 3rd was close range from Benson. At the beginning of the second half the wind was blowing hard down the field in Carlisle's favour, they changed to long ball tactics and we just didn't have an answer, after scoring one we went deeper and deeper and it was just time before the next 2 went in. At the end we had a corner on the right which was taken by Francis, rather than Jackson, and Benson was there to put a bullet header in the goal
Applause for Dailly, Seemdo, Waggy, Joe and Benson
Pat on the back for Fry & Jackson
A kick up the jakzie for Elliott, Doc, Racon, Sodge and the ref.

4 goals away from home.
Wagstaffe was mustard today, tormented the left back, 2 assists and numerous quality crosses.
Benson scored 2 from 3 chances, won a number of headers as the main target for outlet balls.
Anyinsah took his goal well and run the opposition Back Four ragged until tiring.
Semedo and Racon played well in spells, although still went missing when the opposition got going.
On the negative side,
The Back 4 fell apart in the (second half after Carlisle switched to a direct style. Grella (on loan from Leeds took Docherty & Dailly apart.
A good overall performance in which we showed plenty of spirit, worked hard as a team and always liked dangerous (we had the ball in the net 6 times). But looked wide open at times and struggled defensively.
anyway what a result , much better than winning 1-0 , the rollerocaster is banter!
sounds like we need a proper keeper and the defence needs to sort itself out
fairplay waggy bringing some assists to the table keep up the good work
well done benno
well done parky for making a few changes
i believe the players are there for a decent promotion push (keeper apart)
but can mr parkinson get the best of them , fingers crossed
all this shit about i wish we lost cos it'd mean parky goes is crap , surely it's better to hope he keeps on winning forever and ever !
anyway 0.5% automatic promotion 49.5% play offs 50% we'll have a chance to bring less than 200 to carlisle next season
Report on Doctor Kish. Seems Carlisle copied Brighton's midfield diamond but we exploited the space that left out wide.
My son loved his first football match and wants to go again! Imhappy today!
Defence, and particularly Elliot, a major issue. Every time they got the ball into the six yard box they scored, with Lily the Pink rooted to his line (sorry, Robbie). Desperately need to get their confidence back - even Dailly had a pretty shaky game.
Anyinsah ran them ragged first half, and Waggy took on the role in the second. Good to see us creating chances - and putting them away. Benno looks every bit a striker, and could be a good combo with Joe.
Nice to hear renditions of Goodbye Horse and Yippee - I - Ay: real nostalgia feeling! We also managed a chant of Parky's red army. Keep at it, Phil.
So what's the training regime for the coming week? Do we give the attacking players an extra day off and get Elliot and the back four in for double training? Or do we get the attacking players in for extra work, too, and give them special coaching in tracking back and helping out the defence?
I've been feeling pretty excited by this afternoon's result. Until I remember we've now let in seven goals in two games!
I feel by now we should be averaging 1.5pts per game to be in the hunt for a top 4 finish, we aren't there unfortunately but we are not so far off and today should be a good boost plus the reports from those who were there today sound hopeful.
Sorry, mate, I haven't done my FA coaching badges yet, so will leave it to the professionals ;-)
Agree with Richie re the ref - ludicrous, esp second half. He did disallow three goals, though, so the score could actually have been 5-6!
Yes - you're right - getting carried away!
Given last weeks debacle I am amazed there were more than 250.
In time you'll notice that this site is far saner and the comments more reasonable after a win than after a defeat and you'll also notice that there are far fewer of them. One positive is that today's win will shut the gobshites up, for at least a few days.
Big, big game now vs Wednesday they have won 3 on the trot, and kept four consecutive clean sheets in the league. Hopefully the momentum from today will carry us through next Saturday's challenge.
Am liking the Aniyansah/Benson partnership - it seems to have goals in it.
1-1 today matey......
a minor detail!
:-)
