Won’t lie that’s 3 more points than I expected till the end of the season the way things have been going; literally the perfect day for us. We were absolutely superb and added to Oldham getting beat we can really believe again
Great performances all across the park today but I really hope we are doing (or have done) all we can to keep Matt Platt here, should never ever have been out of the team

At 5pm you turn on radio Carlisle and you want to hear how the game went, but what you find is another discussion about Carlisle's future and plans for nexts eason, when they have lost a 'dead rubber' meaningless match in mid table. Which is the most important match tonight?

That’s because I’d only just finished summising on commentary

There wasn't a poor performance out there today. The difference from recent months was unreal. To highlight somebody out of a great team performance though...Gotts was a different level. From minute 1 he was everywhere.

Absolutely toasted them. More of that effort and application between now and the end of the season and we will stay up.

Ridiculous, totally ridiculous. Given how bankrupt we have been for months in terms of goal-threatlessness who could have seen that coming against the league-leaders? Anybody sufficiently long in the tooth to have been watching us over the past 121 years must be weighing that result up as being in the conversation for the most unexpected scoreline we've ever registered in our history. Very well done to all. Still, game over, it's now in the past. On to Monday. Let's get something.

Manager's interview with Adam: had all 24 players at training on Wednesday, all wanting to play; full of praise for Connor Brown's attitude in training and on the pitch; attitude of the whole team; 7 or 8 could have been MoM; Amadi-Holloway now training more with the squad than just 1 day. Seemed to suggest that Brown, Rooney and Holloway would be first on his team sheet because of their desire and ability.
None of the injuries - Grayson, Kay or Brown - is serious, mainly cramp so tried to protect them
