Carlisle United vs Charlton Athletic
Saturday 25th November 2023 - 3pm Kick-Off
Referee: Leigh Doughty
Introduction
Has there ever been a team to win promotion from a Division in November?
Well it'll happen this Saturday when the Addicks trav- Wait... What do you mean they wont...? - We always secure promotion at Carlisle!! - Well that'll be an strange experience for the travelling faithful. Yet we return to League action though this Saturday for the first time in two weeks, with Charlton looking to build on the yearly result at Fratton Park... These next three games, whilst they shouldn't be taken lightly, should boost our Play-Off hopes!!
The Opposition
Name: Carlisle United (22nd) | Manager: Paul Simpson
Ground: Brunton Park
Previous Result: Carlisle United 0-1 Bristol Rovers
Next up against the Addicks... After a 20-hour journey Norf... Shaddongate United
Our opponents this coming Saturday are of course newly promoted from League Two, their first back at this level since the 2013-14 season, and it was a promotion that really came out of no where... After all their previous campaigns in the fourth tier had them finishing in the Play-Offs just once (in 2017), with the rest either in mid-table or fighting relegation.
Paul Simpson back in his second spell as Carlisle Manager, got them promoted at his first attempt this time round. Unsurprising really, as it was his third successful season with the club... Simpson winning back to back promotion, during his first spell in 2005-06, taking the club from Conference > League Two in two years - This season was always going to be challenging as a result, and survival will no doubt be the aim come next April.
At present Carlisle sit in 22nd, with just three wins (two at home), and five draws - There will be a reunion with Centre-Back: Sam Lavelle, and has captained our opponents in recent weeks - Owen Moxon will be the obvious name to watch, survival will depend on keeping the creative Midfielder, who has a combined 28-goals and assists in these last two seasons.
Charlton Team News
Whilst we've not been in League action for some time now, we have at least enjoyed some success in the Cups, with our progression confirmed in both the FA Cup and EFL Trophy in our last two competitive games - Its allowed the likes of Tayo Edun and Conor McGrandles to not just gain match fitness, but to show their worth in a Charlton shirt.
You'd expect to Edun lining up at Left-Back, giving balance back to our defence, whilst Conor will no doubt have to settle for another cameo - Maynard-Brewer | Hector | Thomas | Anderson, should each now be available after International Duty.

Good review.
I can't see it being anything other than that team , Maybe Fraser for Luke Watson but I'd play Watson.
I know it's a cliché but these games are the ones we have to win we are to stand any chance of a play off place and i think we will.
2-0 to Charlton (May & Blackett Taylor)
I hope the weather holds up for our 800 travelling fans as it's forecast to be freezing up north on Saturday morning.6 -
Can’t leave McGrandles out surely- he and Watson worked so well.Brewer

im dropping him at tube station 7.20 Saturday morning .. fuck that I’ll be asleep during the first half with my feet up .
great numbers (for us) going up there … enjoy 👏👏👏6 -
Great review.Looking forward to it - a 92 for me!

Think Mcgrandles will start instead of L Watson. 0-2 Charlton May x2.
Need to pick up back to back wins against Carlisle and Cheltenham on Tuesday to not allow that gap between us and 6th place to grow.3 -
I think we will actually see May out on the right and 3 proper midfielders, like we finished at Pompey and played in both cup games.AMB
Watson Hector Jones Edun
Dobson
Watson Fraser
May CBT
Leaburn
I’m not sure if this is the best idea or not, but May seems to score the same amount of goals wherever he is on the pitch so it might work.
I think McGrandles will start games soon but in a game like this where we should be dominant and have a lot of possession I think I’d rather have Watson and Fraser2 -
Am really hoping that competition for a midfield slot (against a young loaned) for Fraser and McGrandles sees them up their game.
They've both stated their qualities as a L1 midfielder, and haven't been shy to say they're probably one of the best in the league.0 -
This is the first game for Carlisle since the takeover of the club by some Americans, the takeover seems to have been welcomed by the Cumbrian faithful and a packed crowd is expected, don't underestimate their feel good factor.3

Beat me to it! Same levels of cringe.Oggy Red said:2 -
May, Dobson, Hector and Jones all on 4 bookings. Get booked Saturday and they will miss the Cheltenham game next Tuesday.
Alfie wouldn't, would he, so he doesn't have to put a hat-trick past his old team? :-)1 -
only have to go 3 games without a booking to not get suspension until their 10th I think, surely they can manage thatFortune 82nd Minute said:May, Dobson, Hector and Jones all on 4 bookings. Get booked Saturday and they will miss the Cheltenham game next Tuesday.

Could do with putting together a winning run for a bit now, rather than the recent win, draw, win pattern (forgetting about the back to back Bolton Lincoln losses) and moving closer to play offs before 2023 is finished.5 points off current 6th place having both played 16 games, aim must be to close that gap down as soon as possible, then see what the others have managed in same period.2
-
They are in bad form but paradoxically this season they have had some good results, beat Bolton, drew with the Posh .. they neither concede nor score too many, so like, many clubs at all levels, their league position is really all about lacking a consistent striker
Any of the three possible results would not surprise me .. BUT it is a long long way to go and have to come home pointless
Away win for us .. just0 -
Most of May's yellow cards seemed to be for kicking the ball away/dissent style offences at the start of the season. Which of course, referees now don't seem to punish at all.Fortune 82nd Minute said:May, Dobson, Hector and Jones all on 4 bookings.

3 points would be fantastic but I have a feeling that the boost their takeover will have had will lift them. Can see a 2-2 draw0

If it’s Alfie’s dad refereeing and he’s Millwall too then we may be in trouble.2

That away kit is an abomination.Oggy Red said:2 -
Can't believe how many loons we have in our fan base but then again I can believe it. Late November and a trip to basically the artic circle. Good numbers going up there. Hopefully it will be a good day for all of you and Charlton don't ruin it.0
