As expected when I saw the starting 11, totally disjointed and dull first half. Great goal by Leahy came at a great time
The half time subs helped a lot. We played better and created more from open play.
Main concerns for me were how easy the 2nd goal for Carlisle was, and how Bowman can’t trap a bag of cement currently
For me, we still need another CM and another Wing Back, as the absolute bare minimum
Well done though Town, job done

Pykey playing a blinder at wing back Unfortunate news for all those who doubted him Strange post, he worked hard, put a few handy crosses in and made a great last man tackle 2nd half. If that constitutes “a blinder” than bugger me I can see where we are going wrong. Decent showing, solid 6/10

Well well well.. What a comeback! Just like last season. Don't tell me you had another pitch invasion like last season... Remind us, who you played in the LEAGUE cup?

In other matches it's currently in penalties between Accrington and Tranmere after a 2-2 draw.
Currently Accrington 9 Tranmere 10....

first half we played with 9 men , if people can't see how awful Moore is in midfield after tonight they never will, once he gets the ball he is clueless, bloxham was poor too, fair play to cotterill as I was moaning about Moore at half time and questioning why pyke wasn't having a run up top when da costa will come back in Saturday regardless and he them off and switched it, another decent show for pyke, he deserves that start, Udoh looked to be struggling and then went and scored, good free kick from Leahy, Marosi seemed a little nervy again, Their first goal looked offside too makes a change from 0-0 I suppose the bets were not too bad either, several perfectly timed ones ;-) Attachments:

Well done town, I think O'brien and udoh will be first choices when they're both fit(they've got to be) bowman doesn't cut it for me---- to slow and ponderous, that's why I think we need either another striker, or an attacking midfield player at the very least---- defence will be ok👍🤔

Very enjoyable second half after a pretty poor opening 45. Looked far more positive and Udoh benefitted from having Pyke up top with him, who had another decent outing.

It's not really a position that we can have someone inconsistent. How long do we give this experiment? When you compare him to Fornah from last season then you see how much of a midfield general we are missing.

My Grandad told me, though he sometimes gets his ancient history wrong, that in the dim and distant past Wrexham did actually play in the league cup. I know, I didn't believe him either.

We're £200k down in wages so he does owe us a performance or two. its hard to play well when you are sat on the bench or injured Pyke working hard, doing what the manager asks of him to the best of his ability. Can't ask for more.
Same goes for Moore.

Thought Pyke was excellent tonight looks much fitter than last season Udoh not yet fully match fit but he his goal so well Their first goal looked offside be interested to see it back overall an improved performance against a decent Carlisle side

I know, I didn't believe him either. There was me thinking that Noto was going to let us know who Wrexham were going to beat in the Football League Cup tomorrow night. Then I looked at the fixtures and they arent playing for some strange reason 😂

Steve C just wants an away draw against a big club, give a good account of ourselves and walk away pocketing the money. Seems fair enough. Though he might have to field a team for the third round if "big" club plays a weak team

I thought Pyke had a couple of poor moments defensively but when in an attacking position posed a real threat and had a good game. Impressed.
Moore & Bloxham were rightly hauled off. 2nd half was a massive improvement and a bit of fun, with many things they still need to work on.
Great that Udoh is off the mark so soon.

As I said before---- I can't see anything in bloxham, he needs a lot of work doing on him, if he couldn't cut it tonight or at least have a decent game, I don't know whats gonna happen with him---- send him out on loan to get some decent game time for a start

A loan spell could do him a power of good.
