im a great fan of dc but i believe leadbitter should be an automatic selection just like lee brown is regardless of what formation we play. his pace scares the hell out of opponents and hes a pretty good defender also,better than the capable james clarke in my opinion. for me hes our best prospect though matty taylor and tom lockyer look destined to play at a higher level with or without bristol rovers. im always sad when he dosnt start a game. what do others think? aside from the old "in dc we trust" line

I can't understand why he was dropped after the Cambridge game, however, DC's got us up to 3rd so I guess he must know what he's doing, plus all 3 goals yesterday came though the spine of our team so you can hardly blame JC for those goals anyway.

Who is blaming JC? Leadbitters replacement was Parkes. And that needless change contributed to us losing.

Forgive me if I'm wrong and I wasn't at the game, but I was under the impression that leadbitter was dropped and replaced with parkes to add extra height as dc knew that Carlisle like to play long high balls into the box? Surely if that is the case DC got his tactics right? I am a huge fan of leadbitter and he is one of my favourite players but in this occasion I have to side with the tactics deployed. UTG !

I'm a fan of McChrystal and Parkes individually but when played together they give me nightmares. The fact that both are so left-footed doesn't help but they just don't complement each other very well.

According to Mr Top PerGas, leadbitter was replaced by Clarke.

They even took it short every goal kick

They even took it short every goal kick Like I said on the post I wasn't there so i can't comment too much! I was / am under the impression that Carlisle are a long ball team as that's how they played at the mem, sat back , tried to frustrate and pump the ball forward. The keeper didn't hit it long at the mem but the defence certainly did and perhaps that was why DC changed things, hindsight is a wonderful thing , thank god I'm not a football manager!! Lol

It was Keith Curle who adjusted his tactics, and that led to DC having to change after 30 minutes. He said this after the match on BBC Radio Cumbria.

I'm a big fan of Leadbitter and always like to see his name on the teamsheet. But the 'he didn't play and we lost, therefore we lost coz he didn't play' thing is nonsense.
Also istm DC has earned the benefit of our doubt when he tinkers with the starting 11.

I agree with this!! His pace is amazing, IMO got back really well against Cambridge to cover the lack of pace mcCrystal and parkes had, I think he's really came into his own this second half of the season

He'd always be in my starting line up when fit. Versatility, skill and work rate brilliant imho
In terms of Carlisle tactics, they didn't play it long in the traditional sense all game, but we left them plenty of room to pass it in to on a number of occasions so they didn't need to!

What's odd is in his pre match interview before the Cambridge game DC suggested he didn't like playing two left footers together in central defence, then did just that yesterday. Although without Lockyer I guess he had little choice if he wanted more height in central defence.

We let 3 goals in. Parkes doesn't offer an attacking threat. Parkes is slower. The OP refers to DLs pace and defensive ability.

Surely Parkes plays at CB you can hardly expect him to have the pace/attacking ability of a FB?If DC decided Parkes had to start at CB then surely the choice came down to letting Leadbitter retain his RB place or moving JC over to that role. Given JC helped to create one goal, didn't cost us any of the goals you can hardly say DC got that decision wrong.

Given JC helped to create one goal, didn't cost us any of the goals you can hardly say DC got that decision wrong. Totally agree. Although weirdly Parkes did nearly score from close range yesterday! Which I think is testament to the fact he can often get caught out of position and is too slow to get back in rather than demonstration of full back style attacking ability
