1) No Mayor, Telford, Taylor, Lolos, C Grant or Baxter. George Cooper lined up in Mayor's place alongside Sarcevic with Edward's anchoring the midfield. Rudden and Grant were the attacking pair with Moore, Wilson and new signing Clarke the more attacking options from the bench.
2) What little quality there was in the first half came from Argyle and in particular from Sarcevic and Cooper. Edwards had a good half too. There was only one moment of panic but Palmer watched the danger past.
3) The referee liked a yellow card and booked 4-5 players in the first 45, some deserved and some not. The defence looked reasonably solid and there wasnt a costly mistake from a defence that lookws dull of them earlier in the season.
4) Argyle had the best of the possession and deserved their half-time lead although the manner of it was a bit odd as crowd and scorer (J Grant) waited an age for the ball to bounce and trickle over the line.
5) Scrappy start to the second with neither team able to impose themselves. Carlisle hit the top of the bar a couple of times with crossed and won a couple of corners. Argyle attacks seemed to break down in the final move.
6) With 20 to go Argyle finally showed some class and brought the home crowd to their feet with a period of sustained attacking play. We just couldn't find the final ball. Moore replaced Rudden. 10 minutes later Cooper went off for Clarke.
7) Argyle were now playing with a 3 man attack. First Cooper with Moore and Grant either side then Clarke with the same wide pair. Grant looked shattered and a couple of times it was a very tired Grant who couldn't get the final ball away
8 ) Into the final 5 and Grant replaced Grant. Argyle rode their luck as Wootton and Riley took it in turns to give the ball away. There was time for McFadzean to do his collapse in a heap routine - as usual to no effect before Sarcevic buried the best move of the game to finish the game.
9) Cooper probably my man of the match although Grant worked hard and Canavan and Edwards also played well. Not a classic but after a fallow period a deserved 3 points. We made hard work of beating a team that we should have put away convincingly but a win is a win.
