Carlisle United 1-4 Yeovil Town

[Grainger@CUFC]

Hmm. Less said about this, the better.

We dominated the first half creating chance after chance, but not finding the finishing to go with it. We went close form a corner when Zigor Aranalde headed at goal only to produce a great save from the Yeovil keeper. We eventually did get the breakthrough when Joe Garner reacted first to Kev Gall's cross to volley in his first senior goal. Yeovil didn't threaten us and Westwood didn't have a save to make in the 1st half.

Second half was all downhill. Yeovil gave us a lesson in finishing with all of their 4 shots on target going in, although I have to say the refereeing was 'weak' and a couple of their goals should and could have not happened due to fouls in the build-up. Yeovil did have the cutting edge, but weren't really deserved winners in the end and 4-1 definitely flattered them.

Yeah, I was asking myself how we lost 4-1 after being 1-0 up :s. Definitely a lack of finishing and just plain awful defending in the second half.

Don't be to disheartened by the result in the end, Yeovil are a half descent team flying high in that league theres plenty more game to go to recover from this

True, but we'll never make the play-offs now. I don't know what McDonald is thinking if we can. After that performance I'd be happy with 10th :rolleyes:.

Have to agree with Jordie, Yeovil are flying at the moment. And you're only 3 points off the play-offs, have some faith!

Me and faith don't go together in the same sentence mate, I'm probably the most pesimistic Carlisle supporter out there. Yeah, credit to Yeovil though, Russell Slade has done a good job there since he joined.

Lol im like that with luton, although 3 points off the play offs is a much better position than 4th from bottom with almost a whole squad injured

Lol, that's true. Although I'm sure you take advantage of 1-0 leads or getting the better of a situation. If we'd have won toady I think we could have gone 7th :s. Typical us though, get beat when it matters.

[Jamie!]

I'm still shocked at how we ended with a 4-1 defeat lol. Like you said, we controlled the game, even in the 2nd half, just we never had the finishing that Yeovil had.

Ah well, will be an interesting game down at Orient next Saturday now with both teams wanting to bounceback after heavy defeats today!
