Brunton Insight

Instead, we're signing players who appear good on paper but with absolutely no semblance of a plan as to how they'll fit into the team. #cufc

Contrast that with Carlisle - what's our identity? What are we actually trying to achieve? What's our style of play? What is a 'Carlisle' player when we go to recruit? There's no overarching ambition, strategy or vision for the football side of the club. #cufc

Been really quiet on here lately but need to vent after last night. This could be a long one... 🧵👇 #cufc

Interesting that only two of the last ten National League winners (Orient in 18/19 and Cheltenham in 15/16) have gone through their first six games unbeaten. Plenty more twists and turns to come and nothing is won or lost yet 👍 #cufc

Yesterday was dire on all levels, but is an absolutely blistering start crucial to win the National League? No. On average, the last ten NL winners have averaged 10.8 points and 1.4 defeats from their first six games. Carlisle on the positive side of both those lines. #cufc

A deeper dive into all this and some other interesting little bits of data in here 👇 Shares always appreciated if you guys enjoy this stuff 💙 #cufc @bruntoninsight/data-analysis-carlisle-united-5-0-braintree-town-4e5c73721d26" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@bruntoninsigh…

Clear to see that United's attacking players are adopting more forward roles v Braintree than in other games (particularly when compared with v Boreham Wood). Mugabi & Thomas also sat deeper - allowing full-backs and two deeper midfielders to get into higher areas. #cufc

Anyone else still buzzing after Monday? 💙 Had a quick look at some of the key data behind Carlisle's win over Braintree and the key changes that led to the first home win. Thread below 🧵👇

The key match stats from the win over Braintree Town 🧮 #cufc

Regan Linney’s five goals in his first five games is the best goal scoring start to a Carlisle United career since Jabo Ibehre in 2015/16 (seven goals in his first five). #cufc 📸 @officialcufc

Today’s win means Carlisle are now unbeaten in their last eight home league games. This is our best league run at Brunton Park since April - October 2022. #cufc

Carlisle have scored 12 games in their first five league games this season. It took the Blues 13 league games to score 12 goals last season. #cufc

@bbccumbriasport To answer James’ question…

Regan Linney becomes the first Carlisle player to score a hat-trick at Brunton Park since November 2016 (Charlie Wyke v Mansfield) #cufc
