Boss James Tose is pleased with the way Carlisle City have finished the season and will look to finish the job at Ashton Town.

The Sky Blues currently sit 14th in the First Division of the Hallmark Security League table ahead of their final match of the campaign but could still move up one place by the end of their inaugural season in the league.

City have had a tricky run of fixtures in their last five fixtures with four matches against sides in the top nine, although they have fared well in those games, winning three and losing only once.

They played out a goalless draw at Gillford Park on Tuesday with Whitchurch Alport, who sit fifth heading into their last match this term.

“We are trying to finish the season strongly, which we are doing,” Tose said. “I’m very much looking forward to next season.

“We are trying to get the ball into the opposition’s half and to the forwards early with quality, and try to support them and get around the ball, which has been working.

“It has been working and we have been creating chances. Obviously, you don’t get that many chances but we were pleased with Tuesday’s point and we just need to make sure we finish the job off today.”

Tose’s team have also kept two clean sheets in their last three games.

“We have been defending great lately,” the City boss said. “We have caught teams off-guard with our formation, which is quite difficult to work out.

“Now, we have got to make sure we continue our good form and then that we can carry that through to pre-season.”

And Tose is hoping to end the season on a high this afternoon against Ashton Town (3pm kick-off) – the bottom side in the league.

He added: “We want three points, nothing else will do, really.”
