Hopefully Carlisle will come at us at bit as they desperately need the points and will leave plenty of space at the back like Portsmouth did. We seem to be a bit stuck in a no man’s land that when we play good teams like Portsmouth and Oxford who attack us we play well and cause them some problems as they leave plenty of space at the back but ultimately we get overpowered by their attack as the game enters its final third. But when we come up against more defensive teams who sit back like Burton and Cheltenham we can’t play like we did against Portsmouth because there isn’t the same gaps to exploit and we struggle with the killer pass to break down the defence.
What I think Harris will go with Stevens Lennet Morrison Rennet Andrew Digby Thomas KaiKai Lankester Kachunga Taylor
Plenty of subs to appear with an eye on Bolton game

Ugh, Yellow Weather Warning out now for Heavy Rain from Kick Off.... through to 18-00 on Sunday !
Surely won't be anything like Bolton last week but could even things up a bit !
First goal really important tomorrow and be great if we score early as Carlisle heads could drop....my 3rd visit to Brunton Park and never seen us loose there yet....even witnessed Medy Elito's Hat Trick a few years back, so hope the omen's are good again for another Mighty U's victory!

Looks like getting there won’t be a problem and the match shouldn’t be affected but the drive back is going to be a dodgy one.

Mild, overcast but pleasant here at the moment.
Fair play to any of you nutters who got up at 5am to make the trip!

Seems a solid starting 11. A few needing minutes on the bench, so it won't be hard to guess the unforced subs. I prefer to think of Cousins switched to the bench. I'm sure he has more to bring to the team. Competition for places can help bring that out.
Kaikai, Thomas and Lankester are our most creative midfielders (eight assists total). Along with Andrew: TALK I hope we can hear of goals from this match.
Gibbons shined quite brightly until his well deserved card. If he can be more merciful in the tackle, I'll be happy.

Fairly happy with that I think. I'd rather have Lennett at right back but Gibbons did well enough against Portsmouth.
Rennett would have been the other big call but I don't feel entirely confident in Rossi, and Okedina seems out of favour completely.
Hopefully Digby has a big game. Seemed to me like there were a few people celebrating his absence on Tuesday (not on here I should add)

He seemed to be making one of the CB roles his own. Kentish

I thought Jubril was playing well, yeah. Trouble is even having a good game he's often got a hairy moment in him.

Okadina may have an injury or be ill, or there may be something going on in his personal life. We rarely know everything that is going on in our players’ lives, nor are we entitled to…
