The Pascal Chimbonda Derby round 2 - Carlisle v Doncaster

[shoddycollins]

Let's just move on shall we. I hope to got we can't be as gash on Tuesday night as we were today. That said, Donny will still win.

Last time we met we played well... did Donny. Since then Donny have continued to improve and pull out a lead at the top, while we've just gone crap. That said with some of the results around us, the battle to claim the final promotion place is starting to look at bit like a relegation battle, with teams just inching ahead a point at a time every time they do slightly less shit than the others.

 

[cufc17]

You just know we'll win this now after that shit show today, that or we'll lose 8-1.

I'd play anybody other than Gillesphey at left back, couldn't do any worse. Proctor has to come in, Waring has to be dropped, Jones has to come in. I've still not seen Devitt have a good game, totally ineffective once again.

22 games without a clean sheet, so Doncaster will definitely score at least once, probably 3 or 4.

 

[hellogregory]

We'll have Proctor back for this one. I don't know if any of our fans on here were at Orient but I was and he was impressive. Far better than that tub of lard Waring.

We may be more of a threat going forward than we were today, but we'll still likely have Gillesphey at left back which will mean Donny will probably score 3 or more.

Certain defeat here I'm afraid. The big one is next Saturday at Wycombe, we'll be needing to get a result there to keep ourselves in the playoff mix.

 

[Carver]

Before yesterday I was actually looking forward to this match but no bloody way can we be any worse than that. It's sad how all of a sudden Proctor is our only hope and yet he's only played 1 match, but all eyes will be on the defence because they're the ones who are messing things up the most right now.

I honestly don't know how we'll not get beat, would have to be very lucky.

Carlisle 0-3 Doncaster

 

[shoddycollins]

The big one is next Saturday at Wycombe, we'll be needing to get a result there to keep ourselves in the playoff mix.

That's a ridiculous level of pessimism even for you, the idea that in less than a week's time our chances of even challenging for a play-off place will be in the balance.

The worst case scenario going into the Wycombe game is if we lost to Doncaster while all the rest of top 10 (none of them are playing each other) all won their midweek games. That would see the league like this.

1 - Donny - 66
2 - Plimuff - 63
3 - Looton - 52
--------------------------
4 - Carlisle - 52
5 - Exeter - 51
6 - Pompey - 51
7 - Mansfield - 49
----------------------------
8 - Wycombe - 49
9 - Colchester - 47
10 - Stevenage - 45
11 - Blackpool - 41

Still a good seven points from dropping out of play-off contention altogether there.

 

[Hooped Wizard]

If we don't win this Fergie should be arrested for crimes against Sport.

So defeat at Wycombe could see us 8th if other results go against us. So therefore it's possible that we could need a result to keep us in the playoff mix. What have I said that's wrong?

 

[Hooped Wizard]

I'm not certain we will win btw, recent results have been disastrous.

Joke of a manager could fuck this whole thing up despite having the best squad in this league by a country mile.

 

[Carver]

Our fans deserve better than the shite served to us yesterday.

 

[Boletus Edulis]

Think I'd like a draw please. 4-4 make it an exciting game.

 

[Alan Partridge]

Crocombe
Miller Raynes Gillesphey Liddle
Joyce Jones
O'Sullivan Adams
Jabo Proctor
​

Not arsed about Liddle not being a LB, Gillesphey is far more comfortable in the middle. At least Liddle will allow Adams to be played in the opposition half and not constantly helping Gillesphey out.

 

[shoddycollins]

Well I had assumed by play-off mix you meant that a defeat to Wycombe would mean us dropping out of contention altogether.

 

[shoddycollins]

Have we got some intense and historic rivalry with Doncaster that I was previously unaware of?

 

[hellogregory]

Well I had assumed by play-off mix you meant that a defeat to Wycombe would mean us dropping out of contention altogether.

No I didn't mean that obviously as worst case scenario is being out of top 7 on goal difference.

 

[Hooped Wizard]

No, it's because you're utter shit.

 

[Alan Partridge]

Gypo central.

 

[hellogregory]

No, it's because you're utter shit.

Ok, but why the obsession with Carlisle United?

I've lost count of the number of times you've announced how shit we are and that we'll finish 10th or lower. You seem to talk about us more than the team you supposedly support.

 

[DearneValleyRover]

Not sure Carlisle will perform as badly against us, Proctor will bring your midfield into the game more and unlike Blackpool we don't play with out and out wingers. We seem to have hit a sticky patch of our own although both sides just set up to spoil. I expect it to be a more on the floor pass game with both Copps and Baudry back in the side, hard fought draw for me with Carlisle raising their game after the weekend performance.

 

[RampantRover]

Again, right now I'll take a draw, but with the frustration of drawing the last two games of which we should of won but the ball wouldn't hit the back of the net I'm hoping for a win.

Head says 1-1 draw
Heart says 1-3 win

 

[hellogregory]

I'd snap your hand off for a point.

 

[shoddycollins]

No, it's because you're utter shit.

You just drew at Newport and you're more bothered about failing to beat us?

 

[ProfessorGreen]

Draw please!

 

[Carver]

No, it's because you're utter shit.

Oh really? because I can remember how complimentary your fans were to us after our 2-2 draw against you earlier in the season, a lot of you were saying how we were the best team you'd played and that we deserved to win.

We're just going through a sticky patch at the moment, once our left back Grainger returns from injury we'll be back on the up.

We played alright, as did Doncaster that night, but no way did we deserve to win. We maybe could have won it in the end as we finished the game strong but it would have been harsh on Doncaster. At 2-1 down and facing a penalty to put them 3-1 up we were almost dead and buried. In the end a draw was a fair result because from about minute 20 to minute 70 they were the better team between us starting and finishing on top.

 

[hellogregory]

Comfortable 2-0 away win here is my prediction.

Not as calamitous as Saturday but second best all match, one goal in the first half followed by us having a bit of a go second half without really threatening too much, then a late goal to kill us off.

 

[shoddycollins]

Carlisle 5 - 0 Doncaster
Proctor (2)
Ibehre
Raynes
O'Sullivan

There's my prediction... park your arse on that.

If that happens, after the match I'll do any one of the forfeits in my forfeit thread.

 

[cufc17]

3-2

Proctor x2, S. Miller
Marquis, Coppinger

Either that or 1-6 and another shocking defensive performance.

 

[shoddycollins]

If that happens, after the match I'll do any one of the forfeits in my forfeit thread.

Quick, someone get this notarised!

Are any of the Donny fans here in a position to let your players know and see if they would be on board for making it happen? RampantRover I'm looking in your direction as a 5-0 win for Carlisle would help you out in your quest to see a more competitive title race.

Honestly I can't see us conceding more than 3 this season, you wining 2-1 or 3-1 is realistic, we do like to score too. As I put before I'll take a draw right now.
