Prediction: 1-2
Carlisle
Crawley Town and Carlisle United face each other at the People’s Pension Stadium on day 34 of the 2022/2023 League Two campaign. The Red Devils do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team losing three of their last four league matches, but a win over Carlisle should see them escape the relegation zone. Teddy Jenks remains in the recovery room, with Aramide Oteh likely to keep his place in the starting XI.
The Cumbrians, on the other hand, did well to put an end to their three-game winless run, with the team beating Colchester thanks to Alfie McCalmont’s goal, and we predict that they will take advantage of Crawley’s poor form as well. With no fresh injury worries to report, head coach Paul Simpson is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the U’s on Matchday 33.
Highlighted Player (Tomas Holy):
Born in the town of Rychnov nad Kneznou, Czechoslovakia, Tomas Holy is a Czech professional footballer who plays as a Goalkeeper for Ipswich Town in League One. The 27-year-old was born on the 10th of December, 1991, and joined FC Hradec Kralove's youth academy in 2006. After spending four years with them, he signed for Sparta Prague and started playing for its B team.
His first professional appearance for AC Sparta Prague B came on the 11th of June, 2011, in a 1-2 home loss against FK Varnsdorf. He went on to ply his trade-in Czech football for the next six years before moving to Gillingham in England on the 20th of January, 2017, on a two and a half year contract. Gillingham's manager praised the 2.06m tall goalkeeper's "large presence" and "ball-kicking ability," stating them as reasons behind his recruitment. In his time at Gillingham, Holy made 107 appearances and kept 25 clean sheets in all competitions.
On the 24th of May, 2019, Holy joined Ipswich on a free transfer and made an immediate impact. He kept six clean sheets in his first ten league games for Ipswich, including a run of five consecutive clean sheets, a club record. Internationally, Holy has capped at the under-16, under-17, and under-18 level for his country but is yet to receive a call up for the first team.
