I'd go along with that, be interesting to see what Gus does

 

[Perkino]

The only change that I'm expecting is Greer in for El-Abd

Carlisle United | News | Brunton Park Latest | Brunton Park Latest | QUALITY ALL OVER

United boss Greg Abbott spoke to us about the visit of Brighton on Saturday.

He said: "They play some terrific football and they try to keep as many attacking options open as possible.

"If they open up and come here to hurt us, as I think they might, then we could see a fairly open game of football.

"Gus Poyet has played at the highest level all of his career and he has brought those standards into his management. He has a really good pedigree and he likes to play football the right way.

"You can't single anybody out because they have quality all over the pitch. We know what we want to do to keep them quiet and if we manage it then we'll have a big advantage."

The old "we should be beating teams like Brighton" line has hopefully been put to bed for good (except when we play Leeds and the South Coast Club of course)

 

[Uncle C]

Was listening to the Carlisle station till ours came on. They are tipping a 3-1 win to Carlisle with a Murray consolation.

Fran is warming up and brezovan seems to be getting the lions share of practise.

 

[perseus]

I think we have as much chance in the next two matches as I expected at Swindon, i.e nought. If we win both we must be promotion favourites and if we get nil points, I still would not rule us out, if we had proper home form.

Carlisle 2-0 might be par. Carlisle are worth a goal at home because of their proximity to the Arctic Circle. Best to get the game out of the way before the winter. Days are shorter up there in the far north.

4-5-1 - Barnes on Bench, why change the system?

 

[Forster's Armband]

Hope Breadvan gets the nod.

Why Ankergran kept a clean sheet last weekend.

Brez is the better goalkeeper in my opinion.

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

No Greer

 

[Smithy]

Ankergren, Calderon, Elphick, El-Abd, Painter, Bennett, Kishishev, Sparrow, Dicker, LuaLua, Murray. Subs: Brezovan, Battipiedi, Barnes, Baz, Sandaza, Bridcutt, Dunk

4-5-1 - Barnes on Bench, why change the system?

Away from home and different opponents. Lots of options on the bench.

 

[The Wizard]

I'm guessing Greer is still crocked or has a niggle as he hasn't even made the 18. Surprised Gus has gone for a system change though, seems maybe a bit negative to me perhaps.

 

[Perkino]

4-5-1 - Barnes on Bench, why change the system?

Not sure... If we don't win today Gus will get an earful from supporters as Barnes and Murray were starting to form a good partnership.

I'm still going for 3-0

 

[HP Seagull]

Strange that Greer's not involved - maybe resting him before Tuesday?
