    I still do think Carlisle is a similar club to Plymouth if it could be run right, they have been getting 6-8,000 fans each week at home the last 2 years and have only seen 4 home wins in that 2 year period Think support at many clubs would have dropped badly by now they have had a lot of good...

    It’s just about getting that top 7 now even Chester and scunny will know currently all the top sides have frankly had horrendous runs and can easily drop right out of it. Then you just have to hope last 3-4 games your near top spot. Cannot at all say who will win it this year over this season...

    I willl be interested to see the Carlisle spending. On one hand I’ve heard rumours of horrendous levels of wages for Jones and Wyke. On other side we have signed 50 odd players and trying to think how many of them genuinely other clubs at this level looked at and went ‘wow what a signing’ and...

    I went to 11 of them 12 defeats in a row there is a vast difference between club then and now and was a lot more reasons to think we’d bounce back then than now. We had an atrocious side when Simpson took over with enormous behind scene issues, transfer embargo, binge drinking players who were...

    You said that about Carlisle also!! Someone on our forum posted our record the last 30 competitive home matches…. Won 2, drew 6, lost 22……ouch Although I still think the last week was first steps, Walsall home next seen many a relegation battle and would not shock me if this was a random home...

    Managerial Merry-Go-Round 2020/21

    How about the problem being your crafty astute DOF…….who used Carlisle to get himself tied to a nice healthy contract and now doesn’t matter to him how sh*t a job he does.

    I agree and I think the big killer is the stupid short-term planning from owners and short term success demanded by fans when a big takeover happens. If I had huge masses of cash with a L2 club scouting would be where I’d put the big advantage, scout non league and scout Scotland. There isn’t...

    We maybe got a season defining win yesterday. Finally won at home, finally also vs someone up there at the time and now the fixtures fall better for us. Only have Chorley left at home from the top half, only really Chorley, Hereford Chester and Kidderminster left from the promotion pack and 3...

    I have that video, I used to love the music in between games…..if you really wanted to have shown that team at its worst you should have found that gillingham game got to be worst defending ever seen at this level by anyone that match . I still think as said many times you got to look at last...

    is shoots of good recently but it’s a case of short term urgency has made those shoots seem weaker than they are. Last 3 games look better crating chances, put other side under pressure………this never happened in the whole season previous. But we should on performance had 9 points and we grabbed...

    Just noticed the first big milestone of the season for Carlisle at the weekend. Remember that Doncaster team relegated in the 90’s, with owner burning down his ground, having to play youth players and kids all season, directors coming in to fiddle about with the first team and dictate what...

    This won’t go to 40 points. The 3 bottom sides ain’t enough to muster it this is one of them odd seasons when maybe 38-39 points may be enough That is the only reason Carlisle have hope, same as such with tranmere and Morecambe in most seasons all 3 of these sides would be doomed with their...

    You have to remember also with Altrincham it’s a very affluent area, not far from. Hale which is full of £6-8 million mansion houses……hideous looking area. There are a lot of quite well off people all around that area be a few rich businessmen

    That is why I said short term only, we have probably Morecambe entire squad worth of wages sat long term injured currently in 5-6 players who have been out nearly all season so I don’t want to add another. But he’s been playing for Sunderland u21’s I think it was recently been playing some...

    I will add this tiny bit of positive……at least connar wickham makes sense for once!! If it’s just short term and not long term madness Experienced old head probably will scrap on his last chance type you need for a dogfight not kids.

    I am pretty sure they could easily have done a blackadder series with Carlisle united this season. Blackadder as manager, Melcherd as chairman, baldrick as director of football with another ‘cunning plan’ to turn it all around. It tells you how awful our June planning was in January and how...

    Connor wickham is the next rumour to join ‘squad number 3’ at the Carlisle revolution. See all these other high spending clubs buy 2-3 clubs in order to have their numerous squads we are clearly that massive we just have them all at one club! We have ‘injured and crocked united’ We have...

    Promotion from National League

    I think crowd wise and away crowd wise it could be a step back it’s inviting more ‘funded’ clubs with zero base to be here…..to be here. But…….if the grounds are ok and can cope and ffp is added to stop a club with say 500 fans being here because of an owner and then milking off the rest for...

    We got a good away point at Peterborough sports who look like the sneaky ‘where they come from’ side as they are not far from the play offs. But we have also dropped out the top seven, who would have imagined that at Christmas when we looked a certain for top. But we have two saving graces...

    Well if Curzon got promoted I can partially be a fan of another club! Although it isn’t looking likely at the moment sadly.
