Carlisle United manager Paul Simpson remains committed to his original plan of giving his players a break despite their significant loss to Reading.
Simpson emphasized that he is not abandoning his strategy in the wake of the team’s heavy defeat on Tuesday.
Despite the disappointing outcome, he intends to “freshen up” the squad, especially considering their injury challenges during a period without matches.
Simpson aims to rejuvenate his players in preparation for the crucial December fixtures, starting with the game against Blackpool on December 9.
Addressing the aftermath of the 5-1 defeat, Simpson emphasized the need to lift the team’s spirits and return to focused training.
He reiterated that the plan to provide the players with a break during this game-free period remains unchanged, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a consistent approach.
While acknowledging the setback of the defeat to Reading, Simpson refrained from using the team’s extensive list of injured players as an excuse.
He characterized the match as a “proper eye-opener” and expressed the belief that the squad needs reinforcements in the upcoming January transfer window to strengthen its overall composition.
Despite the challenges, Simpson emphasized the importance of returning to training, focusing on fundamental skills, and displaying a higher level of professionalism in future performances.
