Carlisle (A) - 8 Feb 14

[Garawa]

Carlisle Utd under Graham Kavanagh (who started off with 3 wins taking them them from 22nd to 13th) have conceded 39 goals in 28 games, an average of 1.4 per game.
His predecessor was sacked after conceding 23 goals in just 8 games (including 16 in the opening 4 matches), an average of 2.9 per game.

Like the Gills league form in general, Carlisle's home form is win-lose-win-lose....they won their last home match and we lost ours in the league!

Utd have won 1 and lost 5 of their most recent league matches conceding 4 goals in 2 of them. They have just 2 clean sheets at home.

6 of the 10 draws between the sides have ended 0-0 including the last 5 (2 of which were the only draws of the 22 meetings in the away tie).

Carlisle have won the last 5 in this tie (including the last fixture 2-0 on the 27th February 2010). The last 3 have been with aggregate scores of 9-0.
The Gills lead the overall wins between the sides 20 to 15 but haven't won at Carlisle since October 1993.

Carlisle's top scorer is David Amoo with 11, just one behind the Gills top scorer Cody McDonald.

Cody McDonald has scored in each of the last 3 matches and has 6 goals in 7 games.

The Gills have conceded 9 goals away from home (including 6 in a row) with just 2 Cody McDonald consolations for a reply.

The Gills have conceded at least 1 goal in all of their last 10 away matches.

A win for the Gills will see the first double achieved this season. So far all other wins have generated a defeat in the reverse fixture.

The Gills haven't had a draw away from home for 12 matches.

Carlisle have hit the woodwork 12 times, more than any other League 1 side but sit second from bottom for shots at goal. They were also the side in League 1 last season who hit the frame the most, 23 times in total.

Carlisle have used a whopping 43 players already this season, 14 more than the Gills this season and 3 more than we used all of last season (including the mass changes in the final game at Burton). It is also 10 more than they used last season in the whole of last season.
