We are 8th and have played 5 of the top 7 already, next game is against another one too! Wouldn't have believed it if you offered this at the start of the season.
If you told me at the start of the season we would be 4 points off top after 10 games I'd have snapped your hands.
Then if you told me you'd lose 5 of the first 10 i'd expect to well into the bottom half.
Shows what the mid table side we are, Donny were first to every second ball, and like most other games we've lost we gift two simple goals from poor defending.
3 games in 7 days including two long away days and an early kick off, with only 17 fit players. Can't complain with 6 points from that.
Bad for both sides, letting so many fouls go, then booked two of our players whilst running away from a free kick because your players purposely kicked the ball at their backs and then complained they were in the way!
What a great result that is.
Only saw the second half and it was a masterclass in defending a 1-0 lead. Gillingham had pretty much all of the ball but I don't remember the keeper having to make a single save, did Gillingham even have shot?
New keeper is excellent at kicking the ball too.

Thanks Carlisle. Only our second away win since Dec 23, and first time we have won two on the bounce since March 23! Overall I think we deserved it after that second half, but a lack of quality in the final third from both sides.
How did Carlisle not test our youth keeper at all apart from a...
Hard to watch two sides who want to play passing football from the back but don't know what to do when they cross the half way line.
To stop it off our keeper got injured so now we have a youth in goal.
As you said you are not usually a betting man, so don't start now. Only one person wins and it isn't you. If you want to give money away donate it to charity
We know Stocky has an unhealthy relationship with Artell and I'm sure he has already watched the hour long interview he did on a youtube channel yesterday, but at least Artell recognizes talent when he sees it, after all he said Stockport are a very well run football club.
Shame our clubs didn't take the same stand when this competition was changed. A few like us called it out but we should have taken a more hardline stance. Eastleigh's statement they put out today is excellent
