I believe it was Howson that scared me the most today....for some time I believed it was Prutton until the commentators kept telling me he was playing a strong game.....I began to wonder....and paid much more attention to what was making me mad.....it was indeed Howson. Am I correct into believing Sheehan is not available for the next game and the final WHEN we get there? Dammit, we have to play with more passion.....i.e. controlling the ball and not kicking it upfield hoping a LU player will be there to grab it. Hughes got involved very quickly when he came on, except for a stupid play that got him a yellow. If only players would accept a call and get into position rather than being theatrical about it. Standing, holding hands up, expecting the bloody awful ref to call one your way? not the way to play. Get into position and be prepared to regain possession makes more sense to me. I believe G.M. has some soul searching to do before Thursday. Being down 2-1 it's not so bad, IF the players believe in themselves there's hope to overcome the deficit. Carlisle can thank their lucky stars their goalkeeper, Westwood, wasn't Lee Westwood the golfer......he was brilliant on three saves that were earmarked for the net. He was the reason Carlisle has a "slight" advantage going into the game on Thursday. I was totally impressed with our home crowd singing Marching On Together........even though we were down 2-0 at the time....you lads kept it going. And me being some 6-thousand miles from home....in the colonies of western Canada....you made me proud....I did, indeed, shed a tear.....(and almost spill a bit of my Tetley's too).
So, Thursday, those of you able to travel to Carlisle....sing loud....sing proud. I'll be here watching on Satanta again...wishing I were there to see my LU squeak it out and reach the final.
