Scene setter:
The Reds claimed a point in their previous fixture as they drew 0-0 at The People’s Pension Stadium to Carlisle having been beaten that midweek by a high flying Crewe Alexandra. The fixture with Carlisle was dominated by Storm Ciara as wind and rain pounded the stadium for the full 90 minutes. Particularly in the last quarter of an hour where the Reds found themselves playing against the wind. Glenn Morris had a partially hard time with his goal kicks being held up by the wind. Either team could have won on the day, Towns most notable chances came in the first half as they looked to dominate the traveling Carlisle outfit. Ashley Nadesan struck a well hit volley against the woodwork within the first 20 minutes. With the Reds unable to convert their chances in the first half Carlisle looked to use the weather to their advantage in the second. Keeping the Reds tucked into their own half forcing them to play the long ball with high pressure. Glenn Morris has another impressive performance as he made several excellent saves to deny the visitors. Towards the last half an hour it looked more likely to be the visitors that claimed all three points as the weather worsened by the minute. Town were resilient and held on to claim a well earned point.
