carlisle 5-0 gillingham

gan onnnnn!

can't believe we actually scored 5 goals in one game with the way we have been playing lately.. thought the gills were going to get back in it tbh, but as soon as their lad got sent off, that was never going to happen and we just took advantage of the extra man from then on!

ah well, still 6pts of the play-offs i think now, but if we can carry on todays solid peformance into friday nights crucial game down at tranmere, we could easily get ourselves right back into contention.

fairly good support from the gillingham fans n all, think there was only 200odd but thats still decent for a 7hr journey up here, got behind their lads aswell for most of the game.

Wow. 5 goals in a game! That's the first time we've scored more than 1 for a few weeks, never mind 5 :). Plus, we scored direct from a free kick for once as well :rolleyes:. Even though, that really should have been dealt with by the wall, right underneath, Ronaldinho-esque from Peter Murphy :P.

Gillingham hit the bar before getting Mark bentley sent off for a second-bookable. He could have easily been sent off for his first challenge on Westwood, way after the keeper had collected the ball.

4 goals in 10 minutes sealed the game for us. Luke Joyce with his first for the club, a brilliant header after a good run into the box to get on the end of Jeff Smith's cross. Another cross from Smith made Carlisle's 3rd goal when Kev Gall bundled the ball home after Jackman failed to deal with it. Johann Smith won a dubious penalty (seemed outside the box to me, but we'll take it :P) for the 4th goal which was slotted home by Danny Graham. Graham got his second, and Carlisle's fifth in the 90th minute when he rose first to Kev Gall's cross.

Not the best display by us, but we came up against a Gillingham side who, to be honest, never looked like scoring and couldn't capitalise on the very few chances they had.

As Jamie said, it's another 3 points, although we're still six points off the play-offs. Plus, Blackpool have a game in hand. Should still be a tough game on Friday night, even though Tranmere got beat today. Got to keep the confidence from this game up and we should be able to get a result :).

lol I wonder if a Carlisle fan left on 79 minutes, oh what a suprise he would have been in for.

brandon, i seen some leaving on 54min, then the people who usually sit behind us left at half-time saying 'i'm not watching the shower of ****!'.. gutted for them though :D

thought for the first time in ages, we dominated in midfield too.. thirlwell & joyce seem to be making a decent partnership. still think raven is a bit out of his depth though.

grainger, you know who got man of the match? i missed the new tannoy guy reading it out..
