Or 7th

Still, in the playoffs!

Absolutely brilliant from the lads!!!

Would have taken 4 points from the last 2 games, either way round, so lets get an easy 3 points on saturday and really kick on!

Well thought at 3-1 that was a tall order but credit to the lads..pulled an amazing fightback off with a win. Fantastic:-D

I don't think you were alone in thinking that MRF.......i hoped we would get a 2nd though just to make the score line less flattering for the hosts. even at 4 - 3 i would have accepted 1pt.

The past few years we'd be looking at a 5 or 6-1 scoreline now after the third went in. so much fighting spirit in this side which hasnt been for a long long ime.

11.50am: Keith Curle signs a new contract.

9.40pm: Carlisle come from 3-1 down to beat Luton 4-3

Up the blues

I bet there's not many teams that go to Luton and put 4 past them in recent seasons.

Brilliant result, great never say die attitude in this team, something which has been missing for the past few seasons. Last year we would have come out of the last two matches with 0 points, now we get 4. Yes the defence needs sorting, but it is becoming obvious that its the whole attacking system thats the problem not individual players, to sort the defence out we might risk losing that constant threat of scoring which we currently seem to have. For the first time in years at 3-1 my first thought was, oh well we might win this 4-3 yet, and not we will get hammered here.

Have witnessed some seasons where we look so uninspiring, incapable of scoring regularly, play one way (eg 4-4-2!) and have no Plan B.
For all our faults this season, we always look like we can get a goal and it's not dull.
Up the blues.

Great photos from @chriswatt44 on Twitter thought I'd share

Luton last conceded four at home in Dec 2011, in an FA Cup match

Great result that... We really are a crackers team this season. If only we can tighten up a little bit defensively then it would help my heart considerably.

Must be one of the greatest results ever.Well done to all.

Ccu has just told me nobody will hear from him til 2pm on Saturday...

Some Luton fans are saying we are the best footballing team they've seen this season.

And this is even without Gary Dicker in the team!

This team has a hell of a lot of fight enstilled mainly by KC but with some great characters amongst lads who just wanna go out and play attacking football. We put 11 men behind the ball for 90% of Saturday's game but it was a game plan that in the end came off, tonight we have to do something at 3-1 down and we muster up the spirit to get ourselves back in the game and then go on and win it.
5 minutes added time, and we didn't do a Carlisle and blow it.
This time last year it was very bleak indeed but now we have an entertaining team and a manager that's committed long-term, players like Grainger and Asamoah who seem to have found a second peak in their career this year and exciting young players that are hungry to progress, the figures don't show it on the crowds but the buzz feels like it's returning. And it doesn't half feel great to be a part of. Rewards for those who went tonight will be going down swiftly and rightly so, superb.

Well Portsmouth seemed to let their frustrations from Saturday out on York tonight!

Great team performance and superb tactics from KC. Miller and Hery were just not cutting it and were rightly subbed. Luton became complacent at 3-1 and with Ibehre and Gilliead on the pitch, our forwards just cut through their defence like butter. Joyce seemed to come into his own spreading the play to the wings. Magnificent result from a thoroughly entertaining game.

Well done lads!

Apart from the result the real cherry on the cake was putting one on the effing horrible Luton supporters who I suppose thought that singing 'why are you in this league' was clever. Bloody well shut them up big time and deservedly so!
PS The aftermath from Luton supporters on BBC 3 Counties Radio (that covers Luton) wasn't pretty either. Me, I just kept smiling. UTB

Probably one of the best games I've been to in a long time.

Both teams wanted to play football, and apart from the 1st 15 minutes of the 1st half and first 5 in 2nd half (mainly necause they were pressing us very high) we were the better team.

I took a non-Carlisle fan with me and he said that even at 3-1 down you could tell we weren't beaten, and if we got a goal we'd be right back into it. I'd also he interested to see if Jabo was offside for his disallowed goal.

Asamoah and Gilliead showed that league 2 defenders are terrified of anyone with pace.

Also great to see the players come right down to the fans at the end.

As a side note, Kenilworth road makes BP look like a nice ground. The leg room in their seats makes budget airlines feel roomy.

Good finishes from us, love Derek's goal.

John Still

First win at Luton since 1972 according to a quick peruse of the stats.

Great goal by Derek

What a [censored],not one word of credit to Carlisle and said they were beaten by our long ball game.

Must have been at a different game to me because the winning goal wasn't long ball in the slightest.

Sadly, John Still was trying to make positive of an awful result. We battered them first-half and should have been ahead rather than level at the break. Second-half, they got the breaks initially and all this controlled football was nonsense. Yes, they had a passing move of 12+ passes, but it was going nowhere ie they passed it around the back and centre circle. Carlisle brought extra pace and strength from the subs bench and we steamrollered them. Sad he couldn't be a bit more honest.

Delighted by this because I hate Luton Town. They are the only team in the Football League I really detest. I was there when we let in 6 in the first half in 1973 and remember when their local press described us as a pub team when they won at BP first game of the season on their run to the Conference. Don't like the fans, the club or the shitehole of a town. Their attitude doesn't seem to have changed over the years. Ask any Watford fan.

Cant say hes saying much wrong tbh. Anyone should be pissed getting beat 4-3 at home.
