FA Cup Carlisle v Rovers (FA Cup 1st Round)

[Sparky]

Interesting reading about Hemmings' mental health issues, which I wasn't previously aware of. He's been very frank about past difficulties and hopefully in a better place mentally, now.

However, despite the encouraging pre-season where he was getting and converting chances, things seem to have gone off the boil recently.

This was a guardian interview with him

After years of suffering in silence the former Rangers forward is able to open up about fear of failure and mental health problems

Respect

Davies for Turnbull Lewis for Nevitt

 

[Boz]

Turnbull injured? Lewis for Nevitt most predicted. Taylor on the bench ahead of Burton.

Turnbull Nolan and Burton are all ill.

Good chance for Davies though! Come on lads, let’s are a good performance this afternoon!

 

[Boz]

Carlisle missing Kristian Dennis who got both goals at PP.

 

[Sparky]

Gibson gives the hosts the lead

 

[Ian]

Going to be a struggle now.

 

[bigmart]

From the commentary it's been coming, we have hardly been in the game, it sounds as bad as last Saturday if not worse.
Was the goal a mistake by Doohan?

 

[Boz]

Hemmings had a good chance early on and that seems to be it from Rovers so far. All Carlisle and as bigmart says no surprise.

 

[bigmart]

Might as well change to a back 4 for the second half and have a go at them as this system is not working at all.

 

[Ian]

I don’t think many of us are surprised. Time for a reshuffle at HT?

 

[Sparky]

Stats seems to suggest the home side deserve their half time lead. 62% possession and 8 shots instead of our 3 shots. Doesn’t sound like we’ve created much.

 

[Boz]

Commentary suggest a lot of problems coming from down our left. Lewis barely mentioned, Hemmings mainly for his early miss. Bringing Nevitt on might give us more in attack but the problem on the left harder to solve.

Get rid of the 5 at the back

He parried the shot by Sho-Silva which Gibson finished off. Not sure whether he could have put it further away with the save

 

[bigmart]

Hawkes for Jameson, got to show some fight and effort this half

 

[frenchrover]

Must have heard you Bigmart..Hawkes on for Jameson

 

[Boz]

Given Bristow seemed to being having a lot of defensive problems in the first half, might have been tempted to take Ethan off. We did have the ball in the net but disallowed.
