Bit of a goalfest going on at the moment... 27 minutes gone and it's 2-2

Seems the nobbers aren't playing a full strength side, saving a few big names for their big game at Ashington...

The season hasn't begun yet, and the defence is far from the same.

McQueen sent off not Ibhere

That's the last two penalties we'll get until this time next year.

Good result, good entertainment, I assume value for money.

Good game, decent performance. Referee spoilt the game a bit with the red card, it was a foul but in friendly there isn't really the need for a red card (for both teams sakes).

2 of their goals were absolutely gift wrapped on a plate- I've no idea what Raynes was thinking or trying to do and for the other Kennedy was just over playing a bit and misplaced his pass to leave Hugill clean through. Cut stuff like that out and we look a decent team.

Our second goal was absolutely beautiful.

yeah not the right decision by the ref - should have just got them to take him off - how does it affect anything re suspension in a friendly

Second goal was fantastic. Decent performance, sloppy defending for the goals, but exciting going forward at times too.

Thought Joyce put in a good shift, and Ibehre did well up front. Hery is going to be an exciting and at times frustrating player.

Swap the keepers over and that looks a very likely starting 11.

Got to agree with most of that, decent game (almost) spoiled) by a complete 'dick' of a ref.
Man of the match for me was Joyce, although Ibhere, Miller, Grainger and Kennedy all had decent games, totally agree with the above poster about 'Hery' looked good at times but I can imagine he will be very frustrating at times, a good work out for the lads, and if we can cut out the silly mistakes we may just have the makings of a decent side.

3 match ban seesaw - KC just confirmed post match very poor from the ref

Doesn't really matter where our goals come from but it woild be nice if our forwards started getting in on the act and showed a bit more sharpness in front of goal.

Showed some good spells of play tonight although as everyone says friendlies mean very little, Ibhere will be a handful in L2 given how many problems he caused the defence tonight. I doubt Joyce will have as much space as he did tonight, if he does he will run the team with his passing from just in front of the defence. Scored two good goals and the two pens were from good build up play. The first was stonewall the second was soft imo.

The stupid thing about the ref tonight until the red he completely ignored everything going on, including a clear red in a league match for Grainger for a punch/forearm to Hugill's face and all of Hugill's fouls. Having let that go the red was very poor consistency. If he was that appauled by the challenge, common sense would have been to make Curle sub him. I suspect the ref didn't even have a yellow card in his pocket judging by what he ignored.

Grainger was lucky going in over the top on one occasion too. Spotted by the red, that too could've been red.

Jabo looks like that target man up top we've been trying to find. Won absolutely everything and held up then distributed well.

Kennedy looks good in the more advanced midfield role. Could expect 10-12 goals out of him this season.

Joyce covered positions well. Wasn't impressed with his distribution at times, but I think that was more the movement around him forcing him into a poorer decision. When he had options he generally made something happen.

I thought Rigg did really well with his run that got us the second penalty, he just refused to give it up, the pne defenders were hacking at him, trying to block him and just kept going, MOM for me was Ibehre, he got through an awful lot of work, just need a few matches for players to gel together.

PNE a bit lightweight, will probably struggle this season but good luck to them.

Carlisle: Hanford, Atkinson (McQueen 46), Raynes (Archibald-Henville 83), Grainger, Miller, Joyce (Dicker 77), Kennedy (Sweeney 65), Hery (Walker 87), Brough Thompson 46), Wyke (Balanta 69), Ibehre (Rigg 80). Subs not used: Asamoah, Osei, Meppen-Walter, Kearns, Hammell, Gillespie.

Att: 1900.

Up the BLUES.

Grainger impressed me tonight. I didn't think he could be worse than last season but he managed it fine.

Felt like a good perfromance from the view of the small cramped dry area of the paddock (not that cramped)... But we looked quite enthusiastic at times but Raynes is really uneasy for me on the ball. Hanford played decently still kicked one out tho... Atkison and grainger were decent good penalties from the captain. Brough had a strong half, miller was decent and done well in the goal and overall ok. Kennedy first half prety good, as was joyce, hery made a few off passes but you could see he was thinking good, i like him, wyke even tho he hasnt scored many looks decent if he gets good seevice and i couldnt fault jabo that game, held off that number 6 grabbing on to him for the whole match and kept the ball well,
Subs wise sweeney was decent but didnt do loads, balanta and thompson added some needed pace and both looked promising, mcqueen didnt do much but looked fast, rigg done well ans made an imediate impact to win the penalty, dicker and troy done there usual bit and didnt see much of that walker but overall decent going forward still sloppy at the back, dont tryst raynes

Worth remembering it wasn't far off a Preston reserves side.

Hmm yeah they had players like Gallagher, Garner and Beckford missing but...

Tom Clarke, Bailey Wright and Greg Cunningham will all probably be first team players in their back 4.

Kilkenny and Welsh seem to play regularly in their midfield. Johnson came on, he's a regular. Brownhill and Browne are talented young players in and around the first team

I doubt Will Keane has been brought in from Man United to play for Preston reserves either.
