Colchester United boss, John McGreal, is expecting a reaction from tomorrow’s hosts Carlisle United to the heartache of their 4-3 defeat at Wycombe Wanderers last weekend.
The Cumbrians were 3-2 up and playing against 10 men following Luke O’Nien’s dismissal, going into injury-time at Adams Park.
But Keith Curle’s men then shipped two goals in stoppage tine, through Paris Cowan-Hall’s 93rd minute header and then ex-Us midfielder Marcus Bean’s 96th minute volley, to see victory and even a draw snatched from their grasp.
McGreal said: “Carlisle are a team full of experience, and after last week’s match one or two things will have been said to put things right when they play at home to Colchester.

“We have to try and stem that, because Carlisle have been in good form of late at home. However, conceding two late goals does sometimes stay in the mind,” added McGreal.
Carlisle have won three of their last four home games.
