Carlisle United v Swindon Town matchday thread

[adje]

We have less clean sheets this season than a hormonal teenage boy.

😂
On the other hand,for a team that don't create many chances, we're 3rd top scorers in the league!

What is happening  

[DV]

Apart from the keepers (unfortunately) every single Town player has got better since Holloway came in.

All of ‘em.

Absolutely fair fucking play to them & to Hollyway.

Spot on DV👏

Emphatic in the end. Wasn’t a great performance but did not need to be, picked them off very well. Holloway has turned this ship around magnificently as we were only heading one way under Kennedy. From what I saw throughout the week, Carlisle fans thought they’d be able to turn us over quite easily - that would’ve surprised them today

The -1 GD after the last few months shows where the problem was in the early part of the season.

Hi everyone this is my first post. I wasn’t one who had written Ollie off when he’d only just arrived. He is showing his great experience and bringing organisation and much need confidence. An amazing result after Carlisle had brought in so many players, perhaps that was their problem. Impetus is a great thing to have and who knows where we could end up.

Agreed. We have scored more than only two in the top seven. Just let in too many.

Swansea will have to recall Cotterill, he looked class today.

Holloway:
- A tough one. They started really, really well
- We didnt get to grips with it for 20-30 mins
- Cain made a good defensive clearance
- Scoring before half time was against the run of play
- Scoring after half time killed them
- We talked about what we wanted the front man to do at hlaf time
- We wouldn't have been able to do that a few months ago
- Having strength on the bench to bring people on fresh. Delighted
- Red card: Simulation should have been dealt with in last game. Got to be sure that the player is trying to con the ref.
- Counter attacking: All down to freshness and the change in rules where you can change 5 out of 11. It makes a massive difference
- The pace and fresh legs plus passing accuracy of ?Joel Cotterill - Wow!
- Nicholls and Westley have inspired others
- We have 4 wins in a row. We've come an awful long way mentally and physically
- Long way to go. Want to do it with a smile on their face
- Full credit to them for the mentality swing. They are playing for the badge
- Feels as if Holloway can start work now
- Clarke: Felt his hamstring tighten. It was a precaution. Namdi has stepped up to the plate. What a leader.
- McGregor and Hall needed another week on the grass. Freckleton too. Will need them as Delaney has a knock
- Cotterill: Confident we will still have him. He wants to stay.
- Can easily slip back down. Used a toilet analagy - The blockage isn't clear yet. But we are more of a consistent unit. Our team working off eachother's shoulder.
- Fresh and pacy legs at the end: Its starting to show. The new ones have inspired the others

What a fricken win that was. What a run we are on.

Got to enjoy spells like this.

Tougher tests to come of course. Next week for example. But wow, quite the turnaround from Ollie. Thank fuck.

To be fair, I thought today would be a hell of a test and I'd have been delighted with a draw...

[Leggett]

Thought we'd struggle today, we've had a chunk of luck through the game but Carlisle just imploded. Clinical finishing from Town!

Ps. Thanks NMH

My ifollow channels weren't playing ball on the firestick today, so I was reduced to reading a bit on here and checking the twitter clips.

I've been checking the latest scores of teams around us all season, but I'm not arsed with it anymore. Holloway had turned this lot around.

If it wasn't for Clem and the unorganised crime gang appointing their mates dads world cup squad mate clueless Kennedy at the start of the season, we'd be going up automatic right now.

Up the fucking Swindon. Fuck off Clem.
