Come out for the second half and keep doing exactly what you're doing lads - Apart from the few mistakes, keep knocking on that door and we'll break through them!!
Fairly good first half, not sure how but they’re keeping May very quiet. Edun has been great so far and shown some fight, CBT looking dangerous again. Surely we’ll manage to put one of these chances away
We are clearly the better side but our front two are just not firing. Alfy’s worst performance of the season and Leaburn is only flitting in and out. Neat and tidy otherwise but we need to put teams like this away.
I thought we played a lot better for the first 30 minutes, then got quite scrappy. For some reason, I found my self singing Pinball Wizard towards the end. Need to get back to our earlier form and show a bit of composure in front of goal. We are the better team, just need to prove it.
It got a bit messy in the last 5 or 10 minutes but I’m quite happy with that. No one is having a bad game in my opinion and we’ve been well in control most of the time. We’re having to be patient but the forward players are trying to up the tempo when we get the opportunity and have got in behind them several times. My biggest criticism would be we haven’t turned enough good opportunities into shots but there have also been some good blocks from them. I think if we can keep doing what we’re doing and maybe just up the tempo a bit (they’ve had to chase the ball a lot so should tire a bit) then the break through will come.
Imperative that the we keep it tight at the back though. Hopefully Hector has got his one bit of narcolepsy out of his system for today.
A very decent first half. Carlisle’s game plan is pretty clear - sit deep and look to spring us.They are almost treating it like a cup tie.
Some poor set plays from Fraser and Carlisle’s right back must have a headache from heading away Hector’s under hit long passes to Corey.
Miles is struggling to hold the ball up front but if we can get the ball into his feet, he can hurt them. As ever, the first goal will be vital but if we continue to play like we have been, I think the game will open up and more space will appear.

Tight, disciplined and always look like we might get a goal.
May out of sorts but we can forgive him that.
CBT back on it too.
I’d swap Leaburn for Alfie.
Edun and CBT both fantastic so far.
One of those games if we score I think we will score more. But until then a bit worried about the counter at 0-0.
Personally, I'd change things and get May playing alongside Leaburn. Otherwise we are going to struggle to score.
Oh and one final thing. Please don't cross the ball near their keeper who is huge!
Hector having a typical Hector game. 95% fine, but there's always an horrendous error there
