Three away wins on the spin, our first comeback victory of the campaign, and the Blues are officially into the top half of the table!
It was far from pretty in the dreadful weather at Damson Park, but United showed bags of character to turn things around in the second half and take all three points against Solihull Moors.
Before dissecting the match, Lee and Dan start with some important off-field news - sending our collective love and very best wishes to Carlisle United legend Dean Walling following the recent announcement of his prostate cancer diagnosis. Once a Blue, always a Blue and remember - follow Deano's advice and if you are concerned, get yourself checked out at a Doctor. Find out more at Prostate Cancer UK's website.
We then get stuck into the Solihull debrief: an ugly, rain-swept battle that turned completely on its head thanks to a decisive triple substitution on the hour mark. We look at Morgan Feeney becoming our first centre-back to find the net this season, David Ajiboye making an instant impact off the bench to grab the winner, strong displays from Richardson and Duru, and the grit required to grind out results when things aren't going your way.
From there, attention shifts to Tuesday night under the Brunton Park lights as we welcome our ultimate bogey side, Harrogate Town. With United still searching for a first-ever league victory over the Sulphurites (our only previous win coming in that boycotted B-team trophy), we look at what makes them such a tricky customer. Plus, we discuss the remarkable takeover news at Wetherby Road - with manager Simon Weaver taking ownership of the club from his dad, Irving - and ask whether Harrogate are quietly emerging as this season's dark horses.
