    Well we'd better get used to it as it will be the same next season which ever league were in.

    Yer, his passing was awful at times and then when it gets to the second half he us so slow off the mark to close down or chase that he's miles off the pace unfortunately.

    Halliday is one of our best players. Are you clueless?

    I'm not sure. I think we'll recruit better and have more options. We're still stuck with a few players this season although even this summer's recruitment hasn't worked out that well.

    The fixation with Salford on here is truly embarrassing.

    Guess it proves how smalltime at heart we really are.

    Wow, why all the negativity on here. We actually won the game for heaven sake.

    Play off games are far too tense to expect flowing attacking football all night.

    We played a team who just finished above us and I thought we battled so well tonight against them.

    Another repeat battling performance on Saturday should see us through with at least a draw.

    Moxon looked a very good player, but apart from corners, I don't think they really troubled us, despite them having too much possession in that second half.

    Very good performances from the back 4, Lewis didn't have much to do.

    Gilliead and Banks impressed too.

    Happy taking a goal lead up there.

    The way some are posting you would think we lost the match. Yes it was tense, yes it was close but that is hardly a surprise when both teams finished on the same points, with the same number of wins, draws and losses.
    Play offs are generally speaking (Sheffield Wednesday apart) close cagey affairs with nerves playing their part.
    Happy to have a slim advantage.

    Maybe it's because they are 22nd on attendances yet have biggest budget.

    You think that's a level playing field?

    We won the game, end of story. Well done City. We play far better away from home and the next two games are away from Valley Parade so let’s get behind our players at Carlisle and Wembley and worry about our home form next season in division 1.

    Better players playing the same system, I'm not sure he can change but as we've said before it's all about getting out of this league and Carlilse have to score twice at their place without conceding on tonight's showing I'm not sure they can even at home.
    Did Lewis have a save to make all night, I can't remember their shot on target ?.

    Happy to take a lead but we didn’t do enough. It’s a cup competition. We needed to have more than 2 shots on target.

    Carlisle will be extremely happy coming away only 1-0 down.

    Don’t know why we went safety first.

    Not true. They only have to score once. Take it to pens.

    A win is a win. Think Gillead was excellent today. May god help us if we perform like that in the second leg or the final, should we get there. That second half was shocking

    I feared a draw tonight so am delighted we won. Any sort of lead to take there is a bonus.

    the second half was painful. The HT break subdued the crowd after a noisy first half and Carlisle missed three good headers - one looked a sitter.

    osadebe is not a winger, nor a player to bring on to protect a lead.

    we need Banks and Walker fit otherwise we’ll struggle.

    Crich was MOM tonight and made three or four superb interceptions in the box.

    cook got zero service.

    How long has hughes had to sort someone out to play on left hand side.

    Hes totally given up on anyone playing there and leaving us totally unbalanced.

    Ridehalgh has no one to pass to and has 2 men all the time.

    Decent enough first half and we could have scored more through Walker and then Banks, but in usual fashion for this team we lost all intensity and were pinned in for large parts of the second half until ironically the last 10 minutes which has often been our Achilles heel.

    That said I’d take a shit 0-0 next game, get to Wembley at all costs.
