Halesowen 2 v 2 Carlisle (F.A Cup 1st round)
Well the 1st round of the F.A Cup saw us take on Halesowen with the team on a winning streak and may players not feeling 100% I decided to make a few changes. Soley grabbed two goals for us and took the lead twice but the non-league side proved to be a tough test. So we need a replay to try and finish them off. MOM Soley.
19thNovember
If we beat Halesowen we will take on Swansea in the 2nd round.
25thNovember
Carlisle 2 v 2 Halifax (league)
We went into this game with a full strength team. Both teams had chances but both failed to score till Bayliss got sent off and they scored twice in a matter of minutes. The 2nd half I brought on an extra striker and it worked with Stevens scoring twice. Bayliss got a 4-month ban and Stevens is out for a month. MOM Stevens.
28thNovember
Carr signs from Brighton for 35,000. He impressed on loan so I decided to sign him. After Bayliss�s ban I offered a moths loan for Central Defender Mike Trought from Bristol Rovers.
29thNovember
Carlisle 1 v 0 Halesowen (F.A Cup 1st Round 2nd Leg)
Another tough game saw us take on Halesowen. I didn�t take any risks except Halliday on the bench. The game was pretty boring till I brought on Halliday who finished the game off in the 75th minute. MOM Squires.
30thNovember
I couldn�t get Trought or Taylor (Blackburn) so looks like I will have to look elsewhere. I decide to go to Burnley and offer a loan deal for Central defender MacDonald.
