Carlisle United Preview: New Beginnings Under Williamson

Carlisle United Predicted Lineup - Harry Lewis; Cameron Harper, Sam Lavelle, Ben Barclay, Archie Davies; Harrison Biggins, Dylan McGeouch, Jon Mellish; Jordan Jones, Charlie Wyke, Luke Armstrong

Williamson got life at Carlisle United off to a winning start with an amazing 2-0 victory against Swindon Town. The result leaves them in 22nd place on just six points.

This season has been a real struggle for the club. They have only picked up two wins, scoring just eight times. Not only this but they have lost five games and conceded 14 goals - the third most in the league.

However Williamson coming in will hopefully change that and this could be a massive opportunity for them to build on that Swindon result and turn over a new leaf.

Grimsby Town Predicted Lineup - Jake Eastwood; Denver Hume, Cameron McJannet, Harvey Rodgers, Tyrell Warren; George McEachran, Evan Khouri; Charles Vernam, Lewis Cass, Jason Svanthorsson; Danny Rose

Grimsby certainly aren’t blowing anyone away this season. They currently sit 13th place on nine points. Although this is an improvement on where they finished last year it isn’t anything unheard of.

Similarly to Carlisle they tend to concede goals in games having conceded twelve goals this season so far. This the 4th most in the division.

Coming up against a Carlisle United side that have struggled this season though this is a big chance to pick up a valuable three points.
