Turned out to be a good weekend from our perspective. Tough game on Tuesday, but it's surely the best time to be playing Walsall? They've won 2 of their last 9, losing 4 of them. Still a big ask - bottom of the league versus top of the league usually goes only one way.

we took over 5k to Darlo in league 2 in march 2006

I'd say it was playoff form - 40 points from close to the halfway stage of the season to the end of it. Simpson came close to the greatest escape of them all that season. I can still remember the feeling at the end of the Cheltenham game - absolutely numb. The briefest of silences before the...

Really good turnout under the circumstances.

Of all the places to have to go on a Thursday night. Not looking forward to this at all - they've not beaten us since their return to the league, but this comes at a time when they can legitimately claim to be the best side in Cumbria, and I'm sure they'll take great pleasure in kicking us on...

The side that got relegated wasn't a bad side by the time relegation was confirmed. We were awful in the first half of the season, losing 12 straight games at one point. I think we had 5 points on the board in December, before hitting form. Second half of the season was much better, and we...

The 91/92 team will take some beating. But this lot are up there.

It's over. There is no fight in this team, and they give us absolutely nothing to cling on to. I've seen the worst Carlisle United sides in history, and this one is fully deserving of being mentioned amongst them. There are some talented players here, but mentally they are the weakest bunch of...

There's only one place up for grabs. We've taken hold of one, and we refuse to let it go. Shambles.

Poor first half, completely changed the system second half and we were unlucky not to get more than a point in the end. A lot more fight about the side, but it's going to take some effort to turn it around.

Sold out for our trips to Barrow (27th Feb, ridiculously on a Thursday) and Harrogate (8th March).

We're an absolute laughing stock. Played for mugs by agents and overhyped players.

Bit of an odd one this - we'd sold 552 in advance, and there were definitely a few POTD. Must have been a good few no-shows. Barrow and Harrogate tickets on sale to ST holders tomorrow, can't see either making it to general sale. Can't say I'm looking forward to Barra getting their first win...

Williams is rapid, but he can't defend. Not convinced with him at Rightback, he'd be better suited to the wide right midfield spot in a 442. Breeze made some cracking saves yesterday, but his distribution isn't great. Jury is out on Wearn for me. On the plus side, Jones may fare better in this...

There's a bit of a misconception in terms of those Williamson brought in. Only Whelan, Scott, and Wearne had previously played for him, unless I'm mistaken.
