For what it's worth going off the overall table, recent form and goal records. I'd give us roughly a 53% chance of winning or just under 10/11. Not exactly clear cut! Take into account the bookies margin and I'd be looking at anything evens and above a value bet in our favour. I saw 23/20 last...

I'm simply trying to comprehend how you got to the conclusion that a Barrow win is the only logical outcome? If that makes me a freak then so be it. It's a football message board, views are meant to be discussed and argued, with evidence provided to back up. I look forward to taking a trip to...

Plenty of active Carlisle fans in Kendal. There's buses that go to various Premier League clubs (Manchester United/City, Liverpool, Everton, Newcastle, Leeds) and the Old Firm clubs. Also a fair share of Preston, Burnley, Blackpool and even Morecambe. Quite a footballing town Kendal. Yet...

Carlisle United home record: P13 W7 D5 L1 F20 A10 PTS26 Barrow away record: P13 W4 D3 L6 F13 A19 PTS15 Only a Barrow victory can be seen? The form over the last 10 games... Carlisle 20 points 17 for 7 against. Barrow 9 points 8 for 15 against. So Carlisle 2 points per game, 1.7 goals scored...

He must've had an off day at Brunton Park. I don't like judging players on one viewing. I called it to my Dad early that he looked uncomfortable on corners and that we'd have a great chance to score from one. A few corners later he flaps and we score. Maybe the new boots he got for Christmas...

It's good to see us score different types of goals and with plenty of different names getting on the score sheet. I also like that most of the mainstays in the starting 11 are our players rather than loans. January is looming and who knows what that'll bring squad-wise but if we can just keep...

That was the most comfortable time watching Carlisle United in ages. Lovely. Offord was a total liability for them. He was the opposite of everything a captain should be.

820 Cumbrians at Crewe.

Three of our four league defeats this season have come against the top 3. That shows us exactly where we are. Against everyone else we're competitive, tough to beat and occasionally very good. Missing that extra bit of quality when playing the best of the league. It's Simpson's and Abbott's...

At half-time it looked like the worries with Whelan at left centre back were unfounded but in the end those worries shone brightly. He wasn't the only one to blame. Feeney and Huntington both crumbled. It was a replay of the Walsall mad five minutes. When you take the lead the first thing you...

Oh yeah. We're missing that Michael Bridges type of player. He once scored a pretty decent goal at Sixfields!

225 Carlisle United at Northampton Town this evening.

It started off a decent game, then the referee found his whistle and decided any contact equalled a foul.

Let's hope Simmo has had the tape out of that game to remind them of what not to do. On the plus side great seeing Joel Senior back on the team sheet after 10 months out.

Mellish out is a blow. The defence was all over the shop the last time Whelan slotted into that position against Harrogate.

No obvious reason why we shouldn't be capable of getting a result. Going off Northampton's home record since September, if Hellogregory was a fan he'd be declaring relegation. There's nothing to be fearful on that front, we've more than held our own away from home. The break should've done us...

We have the pipes but they're not connected to any sort of heating system which I guess would come at a great cost. The pipes appear two minutes into this YouTube clip if pipework gets you going and you fancy a Friday treat.

I was in the minority. I enjoyed him at Carlisle. His presence on the pitch meant the mundane game could be turned exciting in a moment, be that positively or negatively. There's a problem with a lot of modern manager's where they get married to a philosophy or system and refuse to diversify...

Swindon Town the League Two Spain. Bullying the little boys like Costa Rica and Mansfield but end up passing it around in circles for 90 minutes if they encounter an actual defence. Missing the unpredictable McKirdy spark?

No train strikes on Boxing Day, it's normal for it to be a train free day. The Waterworks does have a current safety certificate for 1639 standing and 42 seated. Not sure why you wouldn't be offered it if you sell out the seats, it's not like the club is drowning in dosh.
