Well it all starts in earnest next Sat I would start Ben Hinchcliffe in goal and keep as settled a defence as is possible . I remember experiments with Fish and Ross in recent years which were a car crash . Agree with others I wouldn’t have a scubbie as to what the 11 might be but reckon we need Tanto back sharpish . Wouldn't be against just starting say Bate and Diamond of the newbies (and of course Barry) and letting the rest earn their places. I don't think beggars can be choosers. If Knoyle is out, we'll definitely start Fevrier. I imagine Hughes or Mingi will start at RCB. That only leaves Tayo Adaramola (if fit) and Corey Addai, of the new signings, that may be on the bench. Fiorini and Connolly look like they may be out still.

I'm reliably informed that Knoyle appeared fine when he left the ground on Friday but Adamarola had a knee brace and crutches, however this could have been precautionary but I've come to expect the worst.

I'd be 100% confident going into league one with Ben but if DC thinks Corey is a better keeper then he should put sentiment aside and go with him, I've not seen enough of Corey to make a judgement. Same here on both points. Thats the problem with keepers only one can start and if they play well the other will only get a look in like smith last season. Not an easy decision for DC to make as its a bit of a coin tossing decision but hope it will be a football and not a sentimental decision made in the end.

I guess weve also got to factor in the fact weve paid a fee (leaked at the time of 6 figures by the same person who leaked the transfer) so surely we won't have paid that much for a keeper to sit on the bench and would he have sigend knowing that. Of course if performance merits that then fair.
Hinchliffe I feel woukd have signed a 2 year deal knowing he may not be first choice keeper. Addai will have had multiple offers

Ffs, really looking forward to seeing Adamarola - hopefully nothing too serious!

Carlisle United 2 Stockport County 1 Old hedgie did not `do `Carlisle , but fear not ,the redoubtable Adrian Caville`did the biz producing a top quality report of how a scratch County side went down narrowly to a full-strength Carlisle outfit. Hear about Louie`s second coming ( part 1), some rough tackling and the mysteriously missing County penalty…..all here , along with a clutch of Addie`s photos …and more… hedgegrower.blogspot.com/2024/08/carlisle-united-2-stockport-county-1.html

Anyone went to Carlisle who can comment on how Barry played ? Showed occasional flashes but on one occasion that stood out, he was beaten to a ball by a Carlisle player he would have skinned for amusement last season. On another, he was shoved off the ball and stayed sat on the deck for what seemed like an eternity appealing for a free kick while play carried on, instead of getting up and trying to win the ball back. Having said that, it was his first game back, he'll obviously need time to get up to speed and his wasn't the worst performance by any means.

Absolutely no idea what we’ll put out on Saturday, but our injury list makes it a little easier to guess.
Anyone have any idea if any of the below are out?
Ben Mingi / Horsfall / Pye / Touray Bate / Bailey / Diamond / Collar Barry / Wootton

Just realised I put this in the wrong thread, but yeah, Bailey and Diamond as wingers.

Sorry a bit late, but Carlisle fan here. Thought I'd put a few thoughts on here about yesterdays game. Thought County looked disjointed and seemed to lack awareness and a bit 'leggy', probably caused by two games in two days. I realised you probably played two different teams which I thought was very strange, considering its so close to the start of the season, which I'm sure contributed to the performance. Can't really comment too much on individual players although the two trialist's were ok but its probably highly unlikely they'll get offered deals with that performance. Jack Diamond was IMO just OK, bit like last season with us, which is probably understandable considering what he went through, but to cement a place in your team he's going to have to do much better. The tall centre forward (sorry don't know his name) looked like he could cause a few problems but he never really got the service. And Hinchcliffe, in my opinion is one of the best goalkeepers in the lower divisions, how he kept Dennis header out at Wembley I'll never know WHAT A SAVE!!! Anyway, strange how things develop we thought we would get to the 3rd tier and say goodbye to this godforsaken division for a long time, and yet here we are 12 short Months later! back where we started, and the team we conquered that day are now in the Division above. Anyway best of luck folks, even though we know we were well underprepared for that division I have to say the standard of football really surprised me, I think your going to have to be 'on it' for every single game to get somewhere. All the best.
