VHTB - 17/10/10

When the Going Gets Tough.....

This was sent in before saturdays game - "To put the Carlisle United season into some perspective after about one quarter of the league games. We have played four of the top six teams and the other one in the League Cup. Although six teams of the 11 we have played are currently in the top half only three points cover the middle clubs between play-off and relegation places and we have played 9 of them.

We have only played 2 of the bottom six, one of those being Plymouth away.There again, we always play badly against the poor teams so it might be just as well. "
