The resurgent Blues won 4-2 at Moss Lane to make it six wins from seven – and four in a row away from home for the first time in 32 years.

United’s victory on Saturday came in the wake of their remarkable nine-man win over Harrogate Town three days earlier.

And head coach Elliot said their latest exploits summed up how his side continues to grow.

“What an amazing finish to an incredible week,” he told the News & Star.

“You think Wednesday was good but I bet the people in the crowd [at Altrincham] thought that was pretty special as well.

“I think everyone would have forgiven us if we didn't get the result here. I think people would have said, ‘Oh, they were tired, they were down to the bare bones’.

“But we were absolutely superb.”

Carlisle went behind to Lucas Weaver’s early goal but Callum Whelan levelled before the break and then Callum Camps dispatched a brilliant volley on his full debut to put United ahead.

Weaver pegged them back with his second goal but the Blues then won it through subs Micah Obiero and Jonah Lowes – the latter scoring his first career goal to seal the points.

It sent Carlisle up to eighth in the National League and two points off the play-off places.

“We started slowly, but we got the goal to get us back in the game and then we pushed on in the second half and probably should have put the game to bed earlier,” said Elliot.

“But we did eventually and the mentality from the boys was just superb.”

Elliot said the impressive way Carlisle finished the game, with substitutes again making a big impact, vindicated his pre-match thinking.

“Our thought process was that we wanted to start with lads who we thought could get through a half to 60 minutes, and then bring on energy,” he said.

“The easy thing would have been to start lads who maybe hadn’t had as many minutes [in midweek].

“We just felt that if we brought on energy and fresh legs as the game went on, that would help us to win.

“I felt it would be cagey, and it was, but you’re really pleased when it works out.

“But it only works out if the players commit and they do the work – and the substitutes were absolutely superb.

“The squad, the group all together…incredible.”

Carlisle, after away wins against AFC Fylde, Aldershot Town and Solihull Moors, added another victory on the road to their sequence.

Not since Mick Wadsworth’s side won five away league games on the spin in 1994/95 has a Blues side enjoyed a better string of victories away from home.

Elliot highlighted the quality of all of Carlisle’s goals amid their display in Greater Manchester.

“Callum’s was such a difficult finish but that's his quality,” said Elliot.

“I like Whelo higher up, I like him to affect the goal because he's got that little bit of quality, and is capable of that timely arrival, which we also saw on Wednesday, as well as his assist at Solihull.

“He's been involved in some important goals.

“That set us up for the second half – and Campy's volley was absolutely tremendous. He's just shown why he's such a good footballer.

“Then there was a fantastic moment for Micah, a great bit of individual skill – and then Jonah Lowes at the end, making a memory that I suppose will last him a lifetime.”

Elliot said Carlisle made “a little adjustment” to their set-up at half-time which helped the Blues exert more pressure in dangerous areas.

He added: “The lads took it on so well.

“I thought Regan Linney led the line brilliantly. He was unlucky not to score. The keeper [Harry Isted] could have got man of the match even at 4-2.”

Camps, on his full debut, made an impressive mark on things and Elliot said of the loan midfielder: “He came in on Wednesday and hadn’t even trained with the team.

“He produced that performance – and then to back that up in another 60-odd minutes, cramping in both legs, shows how he’s just an utmost professional, a real quality player, great person, no fuss.

“And then he's got that quality. We played him deeper today because we had to, but he's going to get a lot of goals. He can play in the eight, he can play in the ten and he's just a really good footballer.”

Elliot agreed that the way United responded to setbacks during the game on Saturday was a result of the way they have toughed their way through other difficulties in recent times.

“I think the lads have gone through so much this season,” he said.

“Not in a good way, necessarily, but I think they've had to go through all the things that you probably have to go through over the course of a season, and it felt like it was compacted into a bad two weeks for us.

“I think that's probably helped us, helped us get it out of the way, lose the fear, lose the shackles, understand what it takes, increasing mentality, understand buying into the way we play, being adaptable – and we end up getting the results.

“We're winning games and we're looking good. We're exciting, we're scoring goals, we're creating opportunities.

“We’re still only going into November and there’s a long season to go, but I'm so pleased with the group because they are genuinely one of the best groups I've been involved in.

“I've been involved in some very good groups as a player and a coach, but this group's getting close to being up there because they're just fantastic human beings who genuinely care.”

A buoyant travelling support of 1,058 roared United on at Altrincham and there were enjoyable scenes at the end as fans and players bonded in the moment of victory.

“That togetherness is so good to see because it means so much to the players,” added the head coach.

“You want to feel that at the end of the game. The fans want to feel that connection.

“I feel that's there and hopefully we can use that to keep us going through the season, because there will be times where it will be tough and we will really need it.”
