Carlisle United prepare for chance to make it two wins in two

Carlisle United are gearing up well for Saturday’s encounter with Bradford City as they bid to put together two successive league wins for the first time.

Manager Keith Millen expressed his satisfaction with a midweek training session at Gretna on the astroturf which he dubbed “the best since I arrived.”

“It’s a great surface, and it was probably the best training session we’ve had since I’ve been at the club.

“They’re becoming more vocal in what they’re doing, the commitment, the tempo, and even the way they’re playing, it was like a small 11v11.

“It was the best session we’ve had, definitely. Whether that’s an effect from the win on Saturday, I don’t know. But the dressing room and changing room, I said before – they’re in good spirits. There hasn’t been a drastic change to any of that.”

He went on: “I think they’ll have taken confidence from the way we won, not just because we won.

“You have to be able to win matches in different ways, sometimes you dominate and win, but sometimes you have to fight and scrap then score from a set-piece.

“There are different ways of doing it, especially in this league, but I think the manner of the victory has probably pleased everyone more than the three points.”

Meanwhile, Millen has given an update on talks with goalkeeper Mark Howard who is coming to the end of his short-term deal.

Six clean sheets from 14 appearances have made the conversation a priority for manager Keith Millen, who is continuing to fine-tune his transfer activities for next month.

“We haven’t got a lot of time left actually, it’s amazing how quickly December goes.

“But there’s more communication which is ongoing, and that needs to speed up a little bit now. At the moment, it’s all positive – Mark’s playing well. It’s ongoing.”
