The Brunton Bugle - A Carlisle United Podcast

Big Georgie Kelly gets his first hat-trick for the Blues, but it's still not enough to secure all three points as a very rare Gabe Breeze clanger gifts Solihull a late equaliser and denies United the chance to move into top spot in the division.

But they get another chance to go into first place in midweek and what a game to do it in, as last season's runners up and this season's free-scorers York City come to Brunton Park for what looks set to be a hum-dinger of a fixture. Can United avenge the hammering in Yorkshire earlier this season?

It's three wins and three clean sheets in a row for Untied as they comfortably see off Wealdstone to go top of the table on an ice-affected day in the National League - is consistent and steady performances going to be the key to United gaining promotion this season?

Two wins, two clean sheets, four goal scored and six points picked up over the Christmas week... and yet, there's still a level of disquiet at performances amongst the support. Is picking up two points a game on average enough, or is entertaining the crowd just as important this season?

It's two defeats in a row for Untied in the league as they're comfortably beaten 2-0 at fellow promotion hopefuls Boreham Wood - is it time for panic stations or is it just a blip?

There's an opportunity for the Blues to get back on track in the Christmas week as they face consecutive fixtures against bottom four sides, where nothing less than six points will be considered a disappointing outcome.

We look back on the loss in Hertfordshire before previewing the final two fixtures of 2025.

United's unbeaten run ends on nine games as in-form Woking leave Brunton Park with all three points in a disappointing performance - but it's progress in the FA Trophy as seventh-tier Harborough Town are seen-off in the third round with a 2-1 win.

Can United bounce back in the National League against fellow promotion hopefuls Boreham Wood this weekend? We look back on the previous two games before previewing the trip to Hertfordshire on Sunday.

United's "Road to Wembley" via the FA Cup has ended for yet another season, as they were beaten 4-1 at Blackpool at the weekend - despite the scoreline, the Blues gave a decent account of themselves against a League One side once again this season.

While the route to the national stadium via the FA Cup has closed, the FA Trophy journey begins this weekend - with a first ever visit to Harborough Town and a role reversal of United's cup ties across the rest of the season. Can we avoid a potential banana skin against the promotion-chasing Southern League Premier Division Central side.

Before that though, in-form Woking are the opponents at Brunton Park in the National League - both sides are unbeaten in nine league games, will something give or should we expect a stalemate?

Georgie Kelly is back in the goals, Breeze is saving from the spot and United are still keeping pace at the top of the league with leaders Rochdale - it's 11 games unbeaten now, can United maintain this run in the push for promotion back to the EFL?

This weekend, it's a break from league action as the Blues travel to the Lancashire seaside to face League One side Blackpool - can they cause another cup upset and potentially earn a tie against a Premier League side in the Third Round?
