Carlisle currently sit 1 place above us in 9th place 3 points better off but we have a game in hand against them. They have scored 11 more than us but conceded 2 more than we have, 4 of those goals coming in Wellens first game in charge as we all remember.
They have only drawn 5 games so far but have lost 4 more games than we have.
Their leading scorers so far this season are Hope with 11, Devitt with 10 and Nadesan on 8.

Towns away form is W7 D4 L5 F20 A19
Home and away vs Carlisle we have only lost 3 times in 14 games.
At Brunton Park we have only won 4 times in 22 games but conversely have only 2 defeat in the last 11 games in the footballing outpost.
Carlisle U last 8 games LWWDLLDL scoring 8 conceding 12
Swindons last 8 games WDWLWWDW scoring 15 conceding 8
Thier prefered defensive formation is 4 huge defenders in Grainger, Gerrard, Parkes and Liddle who are not the most mobile but very strong so hopefully we can exploit their lack of pace defensively.
Thier manager Steven Pressley praising us in his pre match.

Difficult place to go and get a result, could easily go either way but a win would be massive in our play off hunt and take us onto the same points as them with a game in hand still.
2-1 defeat with Anderson scoringゥ in front of 4,406 with 375 hardy Town fans there.
