Before anyone asks, its in 'General Blades chat' because they will indirectly affect us.

Carlisle have just crept into 6th place tonight so I've checked out their fixtures. They will play Charlton, Pigs, Hudds, Franchise if that wasn't enough they also have Colchester and Stevenage to play! So 6 of the current top 9!

I think they could have the biggest impact on the Play offs and Automatics than any other team!
 



If they get into the play offs they are a dark horse to win. Great cup tradition. My mate supports them and my late stepfather used to play for them.
 
weednesday play huddersfield means we cant lose that day we make ground on one at least
colchester also play some of our competitors
and brentford
hudders playing charlton is good for us too

wednesday being shit helps

Whereas if you are a Carlisle fan, you are probably saying:

"We have no chance of getting in the Play-offs, we have 6 of the top 9 to play"

I chose to ignore that point... perhaps that is why they have managed to creep into the top 6, because they have only played us!

It doesn`t invalidate your point, they are clearly going to have an effect. From our POV, if they could win against 2 of MK, Pigs and HT that would help no end...

Yeah that was the point really. I don’t imagine for a minute that they will win all their games against the top 6 sides, but they are in form and up there for a reason. As they have proved this season they are a difficult side to beat and well capable of raising their game.

So chuck in the odd win against the other side’s around us and it could influence the way the table ends up.
 
Just spoke to a mate in Carlisle,...he certainly isn't thinking that way. Nowt to lose as far as he's concerned.
 
Strike 1 - Carlisle beat MK Franchise last night... It was Franchise's chance to get closer to the Automatic pack.

Next Up for Carlisle - Huddersfield at home
 
Of course beightonblade, but Carlisle could have a major say in it as we will definitely not win every game until the end of the season.
 



Top result last night, hope they do summat similar this weekend and ease the pressure somewhat.

First things first, lets do the biz tonight.
 
Exactly we have to do our job.

Anything Carlisle do will just be a bonus.
 
Just to clear things up... I was never suggesting that we should take our eye off the ball, but just that Carlisle's form could shape the way the season ends for the top 6-8 teams because of their involvement.

Its already affected MK Franchises chances somewhat... So their form is worth keeping an eye on.

Sure we have to get the points tonight, but if we do, then we're 6 pts off Charlton and Charlton still have to play Carlisle Away 3 games from the end of the season...

Carlisles game against hudds this weekend is the more immediately intertesting prospect.

I'd wager that if Carlisle can win that one, we'll be hoping Hudds beat the Pigs on Good Friday...
 
That's another good win for Carlisle!

And pushes Hudds back....

Don't they play our porcine neighbours soon?

Hudds losing today makes it interesting.
They play their game in hand on tuesday at Leyton Orient win that and they are 3 back of wendy.
Beat wendy and they go into third on GD.
If Hudds blow it at LO they will be out for revenge against wendy and Hudds have only lost twice at home.
