Team: Carlisle United

Date: 12/03/19

Where: Brunton Park

What line-up should Neal Ardley opt for? What will be the key areas for the Magpies to get a victory? What do you think the final score will be?

Have your say below, join in with the Pride of Nottingham match discussion.

I suggest Notts don't bother going, save some money, save the fans more agony and it would only be a 3-0 defeat by defaulting it.

Better than today would be fine.

Notts are now in Fergie time where we are loosing games and have not long to pull it back. They to find something .. a spark a kick I don’t care what but they need to find it and now. If we loose this I have a horrid feeling ... I’m not going to say no way but the time has come they need to step up.

it looks grim with how todays result went, i think notts have been sussed and carlisle are a good side when they figure out teams. i see little hope in a good result.

It would be easier if Notts didn't turn up and just forfeited the game, this would involve more effort on their part than it would if they played.

Watch Notts perform better and fluke a win, this would restore some hope but I have accepted that the clubs down now.

If Notts had more home games than they do survival might have been more optimistic for me but games like this just adds further nails into the coffin. I have little confidence in any of the players ability to lift the spirits.

Tough game, I fail to see how a good result will come away from home.

Notts needs to try, early goals seems to bring about a different side and the fight needs to be much more visible.

Carlisle has a very good midfield, if they control the game - Notts will struggle.

Defensively, I think both teams have a concern, ourselves more than them and I really can't see anything coming from the game. It's going to be difficult with recent performance to see enough from all of the players to compete against Carlisle who have no issues creating chances. At times they might get the odd surprise result, but commonly in the games they control they do much better in.

I think they'll find Tuesday fairly straight forward.

I think we have a concern in general but notts need to fight back or we will just lose this game. No sitting back allowed.

No hope in hell.

Think I will punish myself this one last time to watch, if they get smashed again with little fight, I won't bother on the weekend. 

I bet Adam Collin and Nathan Thomas will be on top form..... Hoping they aren't though..... 

1-0 Notts Hemings get his 10th if the season. Come on you pies 

Half time and we lead 1-0 

Notts have the lead through a former notts man Gary liddle making a error and Colin’s  unable to get to it. Hemmings on the end of it and puts it away 

Nearly 2-0 11 corners and we are keeping The ball is this the turn around 

10’minutes gone in the second and we have the lead 

Nathan Thomas comes on for carsile he is fired up 

Oh my god that’s 2-0 after Duffy went down Kane Hemmings steps up for his 12th of the season and his second penalty in two games. 67 mins gone 

That’s 2-1 and carsile have hope through hope after a mistake from Ryan schfeild didn’t hear man on shouts from players and fans so it’s a nervous time again 

Hang in there Notts!

It might have made sense to throw Fitzsimons in to handle the pressure and what not, I think people should accept the odd mistake - especially in games like this. I'm more in shock that Notts are winning! COYP!!

4 minutes left 

3-1 !!!!!!! Notts have the win Colin’s came up for the free kick count got it cleared Alexandra runs it in ..!!! 

You couldn't make it, another win could make a difference and restore some hope but Notts needs to stop letting us down. Good result to beat Carlisle.
