A one-nil defeat followed by a one-nil victory over the Easter Holiday weekend was enough for United to secure their EFL status for another season and move all the focus on to getting Paul Simpson tied down on a longer deal at Brunton Park!
In the 100th episode of The Brunton Bugle, Dan and Lee look back on those two Easter fixtures against Walsall and Mansfield, taking a particularly in-depth dive into the impressive victory over the Stags on Easter Monday that secured those three points to confirm EFL status for next season.
There's also plenty of chat about whether United can convince Simpson to stay long-term after the minor miracle he has performed over the last couple of months - fingers crossed, but we've got a good feeling about it!
We also look ahead to this weekend's trip to North Yorkshire to face an injury-hit Harrogate Town side - can the Blues make it a positive end to the campaign in the final three fixtures?
On top of all that, there's a round-up on how United's players out on-loan are getting on, a catch-up on the exploits of ex-Blues have in the last week and another question of the week from Mike for you to have a crack at.
Your host Lee Rooney is in Liverpool and is joined online by Dan MacLennan in Carlisle. You can find us on Twitter @bruntonbugle, Facebook (search for "Brunton Bugle") and email us with any questions, suggestions and feedback to bruntonbugle@gmail.com.
