Mike Williamson says he has great “trust” in Carlisle United’s players to play the way he wants.

The Blues head coach, whose reign got off to a winning start at Swindon Town, believes the squad he has inherited are ready to put the right things into practice.

United’s style at Swindon, albeit after only two days under the new boss and his coaches, looked notably different.

And while the passing style led to some risky moments at times, Williamson says he backs his players to continue to get to grips with the “detail” of the tactical demands.

“The right way is to find solutions, and we don't want hairy moments [such as we saw at Swindon], but there are certain times where half a yard is the difference between an interception and creating a goalscoring opportunity,” he said.

“So, yes, we've got every bit of trust in those guys and we know that they're going to work hard to understand it and to find the solutions, but we don't want to take unnecessary risks.

“I thought you could see a determination in the boys to want to play out.”

Williamson is embarking on his first full week in charge as he prepares the Blues for his first home league game against Grimsby Town on Saturday.

As well as matters of style, the new head coach also believes the commitment shown by all concerned at Swindon must be the foundation for every performance from here.

“That’s got to be the bedrock,” he added.

“You can never go away from that, so that was really pleasing to see

“The lads and the staff and everyone at the football club have really bought into everything since we've come in, and I think it showed.”

United goalscorer Luke Armstrong has commented on the simplicity of Williamson’s instructions and the boss himself has preferred to praise the players for their efforts rather than invite praise himself for his first win.

He remained on this theme when he further discussed the Swindon win, added: “In the first half, when the game got a little bit stretched, the boys really stuck to the detail.

“We found the middle a few times, and we managed to break presses, but I think largely that was to do with just having good players and less about the detail.

“For us, we've tried to support them and help them, but we just wanted them to go out and play their game – and credit to them, they did that.”
