Need Swan in the front line at home. Nobody running in behind otherwise. A lot of our play has been in front of Carlisle and at too slow a tempo.

Agree. We seem to have found what works away and are now seeing if it works at home. Early signs are "kinda" working.

We could swap to the narrow diamond with Hewitt at RB and move bowery up front (Bowery seems to play more forwards than as a wing back hesnce my question a few posts ago.)

Just seen Swan not on the bench so there goes my plan.

[gazza1988]

Maris gets flattened by a Carlisle players attempting to win the ball and Lapslie fouls his man.

Ball is chipped in from the free kick and a low cross into the middle is saved by Pym.

[SeanieStag]

Not a great game this. Could go either way.

[gazza1988]

Stags have a throw in the right 14 yards from the byline. Hewitt with a long throw. Flicked on by Hawkins. Maris looked like he could've shot left footed but Carlisle put it behind for a corner.

Hartigan to take. And it's headed away at the near post.

[gazza1988]

Attendance. 5421, 155 away.

[gazza1988]

Quinn replaces Clarke.

[gazza1988]

Long throw in from Hewitt, headed down by Hawkins to Maris just outside the area. He fires over.

[gazza1988]

Macca and Quinn combine down the left and quinn's cross is headed away.

Hartigan comes forwards with the ball and shoots over the bar.

[gazza1988]

Bowery and Maris combine down the right Maris crosses but it's blocked for a corner.
. Hartigan to take it. He chips it and the Keeper collects it easily at the back post.

[arsene wengers coat]

This match has turned into dross.

[gazza1988]

Carlisle attack down their left. Ball foaloeted over and they are a bit of space on the right in the area and fire straight at Pym.

Great defending again from Hewitt with 2 good slides to snuff out danger.

Game has woken up a bit but it's all Carlisle.

[gazza1988]

Bowery takes on on man and charges into the area. His cross is cleared.

[gazza1988]

Quinn crosses in from the left and Maris hits it first time and just wide of the left post.

[gazza1988]

Long ball forwards and Bowery heads down towards Lapslie but it's put behind for a corner.

Quinn to take this corner. Headed away at the near post. V

[gazza1988]

Quinn, still on the right from the corner, finds Hartigan who plays it out to the left and there's a late tackle on hartigan. Stags free kick. Carlisle player booked.

Hartigan takes it. Hawkins heads down but nobody there and Carlisle clear.

[gazza1988]

Stags throw in on the right level with the 18 yard box. It's long. Flicked on by bowery. Lapslie goes down claiming a penalty but Carlisle clear. They take of Dennis.

[gazza1988]

They're still taking off Dennis. He's taking his time.

[gazza1988]

Macca inside to Quinn. Back out for Macca who is clearly fouled but not given. Carlisle clear.

This is one of those games that promotion chasing teams need to grind out and win.

[gazza1988]

Elliot Hewitt is sponsors man of the match. Deserved imo.

[1970Stag]

If only we had players on the bench to make an impact or change the game...

[scotsstag]

The standard of refereeing in the EFL is dire.
These people are supposed to be professionals fgs.

[wink68]

98 minutes without one bit of quality from either side. Nuff said.

[gazza1988]

Full time. 0-0

Boos ring out. For the ref.
