Carlisle United Preview – Can the Cumbrians pick up a huge three points?
Chris Beech’s Carlisle United are in poor form ahead of Tuesday’s big League Two clash with Orient. United’s promotion hopes have been dealt a big blow after picking up just one win since January.
The Cumbrians were in the promotion picture when they beat Exeter City at home on 30th January, but Carlisle have gone on to lose seven of their following 11 in League Two. After one win and two draws from three, United were beaten at Stevenage last time out.
Carlisle are nine points behind Newport County, who currently occupy the final play-off spot. However, Beech’s boys have two games in hand on the Welsh side. Can the Blue & White Army secure a precious three points on home turf and move up the fourth-tier table?
Leyton Orient Preview – Can the Londoners make it back-to-back away wins?
Leyton Orient are a point behind Carlisle in 14th, though the London club have played two games more. At the time of writing, the O’s are ten points away from the play-offs, so another season in League Two beckons.
Jobi McAnuff, who is currently interim manager at Brisbane Road, guided Orient to an excellent 1-0 win over Newport in South Wales last weekend. Prior to that, they had claimed back-to-back draws with Stevenage and Scunthorpe United.
