Carlisle Away

[bluebruce]

Boro 2-1 down to Notts County from a Jon Stead goal! Be nice if they lose - even if Chapman has a reasonable game, reserve players often get ruled out en masse when they lose to lower league opposition in cups.

cracking shot hits the bar Carlisle

Dack and Palmer (and even Arma) are confidence players. This will help no end. Worked perfectly for Tony. Had they all played and struggled it would have been a panic, but this is a nice little tonic.

Hull have lost central defender Burke due to injury. He's played in both league games.

Don’t speak too soon, if any of them get injured now it hasn’t worked well.

Guy on Sky Sports says Travis has been brilliant. 

I’d listen to him over some of the idiots on here.

Alot of teams having problems

The only one who has said anything derogatory is me.. And it was a sarcastic joke.

decent half of football.

Can't fault any Rovers player.

Firsy 2 goals for us were too easy.

Travis and Rothwell impressing.

Carlisle making a game of it. Their #16 looks a tidy player.

Seen the first 3 goals on Twitter now thanks to Kamy (@northern_rover)

First goal is lovely, although Carlisle left way too much space and their left back really should have been tucking in far earlier. Second goal is horrendous from their goalkeeper but a ruthless finish from Dack. Third goal is just sublime from Dack, similar technique on the first touch to how he controlled the ball before assisting Arma for the first, but even better as it was passed to him at pace by Travis.

Need to bring Dack off at half time, bring Palmer into the middle. Rothwell on the flank, and Whittingham in Rothwell's slot. I know we plan to play Palmer wider, but it would also be handy to see how he serves as a Dack replacement if we lose our talisman at some stage. We need to know if we can function without him, and if we can't do that against Carlisle it'd be a worry. Would take Mulgrew off around the 60 minute mark too.

Come out with the right mindset and we should be comfortable.

Getting a sneaky feeling that we are going to be over confident, take Carlisle a bit lightly and come unstuck...

 

It will be 5-4, trust me.

Cr@p. Unless it's just a grazed knee or something, we can probably rule him out then.

...or get him even cheaper....

[McClarky]

Exactly how to tackle this kind of game. Put a strong side out and get ahead then we can make changes in 2nd half.
