Carlisle’s rollercoaster week continues. The Yorkshire Cumbrian reviews a frustrating 0–2 defeat to Rochdale before a much-needed 3–1 response against Hartlepool at Brunton Park. We round up the latest National League results and standings, cover the big Blues headlines (including the FA Cup 4th Qualifying Round draw vs Boston United), and put Alex Gilliead under the spotlight.
Looking ahead, it’s a full preview of Scunthorpe United away — key players, form, the Glanford Park trip, plus two possible XIs depending on defensive availability and a bold score prediction. We finish with the standout fixtures across the division and what they could mean for the early autumn picture.
Packed with analysis, away-day flavour, and plenty of Blues chat.
