Kept letting Carlisle loose on the break, lucky not to have gone behind to one of those. Had our own moments but mostly seemed to be home side sat back and us fannying about in front of them until it broke down.

That's fucked it, in fairly shambolic circumstances. Ref probably wouldn't have given that second yellow if he realised he needed his red too.

Bitty and disjointed really, expect home fans won't be too pleased with how much you sat back. Thought we were just getting going second half when the sending off came which changed it again. Only himself to blame as first yellow was cutting out one of your breaks from our sloppy play.

Not much of a spectacle. We created the best chances in the first half but just seemed like we were waiting for FGR to give the ball away or tire rather than taking the game to them. We definitely could have done a lot better.

Decent defensive performance from us as least.

There was talk of a pen shout for us just before sending off but was one where his hand went up to stop a ball blasted from quite close, see why the ref thought not.

STONEWALL pen, how the fuck did neither the ref or lino see it. Hands up in an unnatural position. Red card was a joke, ref only booked him cos he didn't realise he'd already got one, never worth a second yellow.

Wasn't far off being a straight red.

We had a penalty denied later on so we'll call it even

The main thing is we dominated possession, proving that we really are the top dogs at that in this division. 65% possession plus our passing accuracy stats were superb again.

I hear the team with the best passing accuracy in the league will qualify for next seasons champions league

Fair enough. The entire CONTINENT deserves the chance to watch our possession masterclass on the biggest stage.

We had 64.7% possession against class of 92, clearly learning stuff from our game against you.

We had almost 70% possession against Mansfield and Cheltenham and lost both 2-0. We've since worked out that the less possession we have the greater our chances of winning.

I can't believe quite a few Carlisle fans elsewhere are saying we're boring to watch. Do they not appreciate sophisticated possession football?

Sadly Chris that impression is not just confined to Carlisle fans.
But the truth is that from start of season FGR had their two best players missing [Williams & Shepherd] which has reluctantly forced upon FGR a less than attractive style of team play.
But there are signs that FGR are ready to up a gear and resume the attractive game that our fans have enjoyed for the past few years.
And to be in a play-off position with possibly one of the youngest teams in league and best players missing is phenomenal.
