Saturday? 
But yeah, I think we’ll see many changes to the side and squad over the summer. Really don’t get the sentiment of those who don’t want Bird to play because he’s moving on, he’s one of our best players and can help seal promotion, would rather use his ability on Saturday than not. 

The fact that he is going is irrelevant. We should be playing the best team available that suits the situation.

Opta puts Carlisle pretty middle of the pack in terms of defending set pieces 13th in goals conceded, 8th shots faced so they seem pretty well organised on corners and free kicks. They are dead last however in open play goals conceded and 22nd in shots faced. They are surprisingly 5th best in set piece goals (16 goals) and have only 11 less set piece shots than us (169). Again they worst in scoring from open play.
Just going by those stats Bradley will be needed at the weekend.
 

The opportunity to win promotion at Pride Park, in front of a sell out crowd, after what the club has essentially gone through the last four years, is something that could create memories that will last a lifetime.
If, and hopefully when it happens, I'll definitely spare a thought for B4 and others who marched through the city to help keep the club alive but sadly won't be here to see this significant step in our rebuilding process. 

I love that Wildsmith is impervious to embarrassment. Which means he is our best asset in game management. If it's 0-0 on Saturday and we're under the cosh, he will find a way to take the sting out of the game and allow us to regroup. A vital part of the modern game but not anything our keepers have embraced before. 

I hate all of his ridiculous time wasting.
Decent goalie but he let's himself down on too many occasions to be a top one

His decision making at crosses and his kicking was bad yesterday, he's a good shot stopper, but needs improvement on the other two, luckily his 3 CD helped him out 

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a goalkeeper distribute as poorly as he did yesterday. Luckily it didn’t matter in the end, but it was the main reason we were so under pressure second half.
Don’t know what happened to him, I was stood in line behind him and he seemed to have forgotten how to kick a football! Curtis Nelson was about to lamp him at one point I swear 😂

This is a testament to Nelson and Cash for me.

I think you have some experience of this. 😉 KEEP OFF THE FCUCKING PITCH

I'm in favour of pitch invasions, ever since that wonderful day as a 10 year old boy at the Baseball ground, high fiving Ron Willems and having a cuddle with Chris Powell!
I talk about that day every single time I see a pitch invasion elsewhere. I think about it now and then for no reason. 
It's a top 5 moment in my entire life and I like to think there are youngsters at Pride park who in 28 years time be looking back on the Carlise match in the same way I do that Crystal Palace match.
It doens't have to be ruined by thuggery, it can be magical

I don't get it. Even when I was younger I didnt ..eg at the Southampton semi. 
What's the point,  you can't see anything and all the players scatter. Just stay near your seats or congregate near the front of the stand and clap the players and staff ie those who have done it. Getting on the pitch seems a weird desire.
Just head into town and civilly get p*ssed with your mates. Seems a bit entitled... 'why can't I run on the pitch and sorta intimidate the opposition'. Generally starts off fairly good natured but has a good chance of going south in some way.
Mainly though, the players can't celebrate properly together or with their families etc because fans want to swamp the pitch.  Do it after the celebratory lap and the players have gone if it matters that much to you.

Yeah but you are probably in your 40's, 50's or older. As no doubt are Mucker 1984 and obviously Reggie Greenwood(I too remember him). Young lads like my son and his mates in the South stand are going to want to do it, just like we did back in the day. Stop being such a sensible/miserable old far*  

I suspect the club just felt obliged to issue such a warning but know it might still happen.
Personally, whilst it's something worth celebrating, it's not as if we've won the league or anything so I'd prefer we all just stayed in the stands and allowed the players and their families to do a proper lap of honour. 
Regarding H&S, I was at the Tamworth game two weeks ago when they sealed promotion for the second year running. Some numpty must have fallen over the advertising hoardings (needless to say, there is no upper tier at Tamworth 😀) and had to be taken away on a stretcher by St. John's Ambulance.

Personally I think a pitch invasion for reclaiming our normal place in the Championship would be a bit tinpot.
Letting the players celebrate together and then having a lap of honour is a far classier move than invading the pitch and swarming the players, including opposition players who are left in a pretty vulnerable position in the majority of these over-glorified pitch invasions.

Pompey fans assaulted a Barnsley player on the pitch and some pubs were looted on the night in Southsea, hopefully if we do get to celebrate we do it in style and not like idiots . 

The Club have issued a statement regarding the possibility of criminal proceedings to any fans who encroach onto the pitch after final game .Should we gain promotion and get out of this awful League 1 after all of the ups and downs over the last few years l would have thought a simple gesture of letting the long suffering supporters celebrate and applaud the players is perfectly acceptable .Pompey fans assembled on the pitch last week after promotion was gained and created a fantastic spectacle.Why are Rams fans denied the opportunity after all it was common practice even in the great Clough era.The Club cites H&S worries and seems to forget that we are adults and do not need wrapping in cotton wool thank you very much.As a Club we have had little to celebrate in recent years ,Powers that be chill and let the supporters celebrate and thank the players in the time honoured way.

Thank you Shrews! 

Congrats to Pompey as well, they deserve it.
