Carlisle United, Recent FormCarlisle United boss Paul Simpson will need to instil positive feelings within his team after they endured a 4-0 home mauling from Mansfield Town.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 9 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 7 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. The art of scoring goals has eluded them, having failed to find the back of the net for the past 3 games in a row. Simpson will have some concerns about his team's back line after only making 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home matches.
They have had a good run of form at Brunton Park recently, having won 4 out of their last 6 home games.

Colchester United, Recent FormLast time out for Colchester United resulted in a perhaps unsurprising 0-0 draw against Walsall in a match they really wanted to win.
It seems pretty certain that Matt Bloomfield will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 5 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 5 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. On the road, they are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 away games. Their defensive record does not make good reading so far this season as they have conceded at least 1 goal in 26 of their 32 league games.
They are showing impressive form away from home with a run of 5 straight wins in a row.
Kwesi Appiah will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Colchester United.
