Season 2016/17: The Season So Far - Part 5

I intended this post to be the final post of 2016, rather than the first post of 2017. No matter, I shall take this opportunity to wish you a Happy New Year.

This post is continuing the coverage of Carlisle United Football Club over the course of Season 2016/17. There were six fixtures in December: One in the FA Cup, one in the EFL [Checkatrade] Trophy and four in Sky Bet League Two. The results of the six fixtures as follows:

Tuesday 6th: EFL Trophy: United 2 - Mansfield Town 3 (Attendance: 1126)
Saturday 10th: Sky Bet League Two: Luton Town 1 - United 1 (Attendance: 7953)
Saturday 17th: Sky Bet League Two: United 2 - Yeovil Town 1 (Attendance: 4646)
Monday 26th: Sky Bet League Two: Crewe Alexandra 1 - United 1 (Attendance: 4962)
Saturday 31st: Sky Bet League Two: Notts County 2 - United 3 (Attendance: 3825)

The League Two table today (1st January) sees United second on forty-six points, two points behind top of the table Plymouth Argyle and ahead of Doncaster Rovers in third on goal difference.

There are five fixtures in January, all Sky Bet League Two:
Monday 2nd: Home v Grimsby Town
Saturday 7th: Away at Colchester United
Saturday 14th: Home v Morecambe
Saturday 21st: Away at Accrington Stanley
Saturday 28th: Home v Barnet.

That concludes the monthly update of Carlisle United Football Club.
