    Hope Carlisle win, the fanbase deserves a home win for a change having seen about 3 in a year!! But I was at a game in 1991 or 1992 cannot fully remember and gillingham had not won away in ages and rocked up and won. i would not be surprised because I cannot for life of me remember when we beat...

    I’ve said all along Morecambe probably will survive, all 3 clubs are awful but Morecambe remind me a lot of Carlisle during that 2000-2003 spell, lack any quality due to a sheer lack of finances but through this at least gain unity, togetherness and fight. Carlisle won’t get that because when...

    That yesterday you have to look as such with two Carlisle hats on. On side of it is a positive, stopped the rot, for once got stronger as game went on than weaker, kept a rare clean sheet, manager tinkered at half time and made changes to make us stronger than having zero outcome as has been...

    Financial clout means absolutely nothing if you waste it I can think of grays and histon who never got up, fylde cannot get near, Salford, fleetwood even Wrexham didn’t have instant success. You need a stable base then use your resources to add that bit of quality in certain areas It’s why we...

    We have to be careful HG to not do the exact same as this season and end up in national north. They need some common sense next season, building the right area, take some pressure away, don’t go on mass spending sprees……..F*CKING SCOUT the actual targets

    Carlisle next season need a ‘stability’ season whether that be in league two or conference…….so if we go down I don’t expect a bounce back because it needs the basic steps sorted before we can progress.

    My issue is as harsh as this sounds ‘do I feel hughes can get us back up’ my answer on that is no. Hughes seems good if he’d been appointed earlier he’s a good track record of building mid table sides, but promotion sides is non existent. But if he starts to make side more stable over next few...

    One change I am going to this game can it get to many. I have only got to one game this season and we won it so have 100% record so far maybe I can again bring some of Curzon’s league luck for carlisle

    That is frustrating to concede right at the death but a good morale boosting performance and point

    We need to just work out the rest of season trying to get some team balance and inject some solid stability to the squad now and forget about the survival/relegated aspect if we go we go if we survive it’s a bonus. The problem at present is 2 straight years of defeat after defeat, is...

    We done almost everything right tonight, dominated possession chances both on and off target dominated large spells of the game…….just cannot score and cannot keep a clean sheet

    Typical of Carlisle do ok cannot score then in comes the total lack of being able to get a clean sheet and what should be at least a draw ends in defeat

    Our problem. Has been there all season and never addressed……home form It’s utterly atrocious and we’d possibly walked the league this season had it improved, sadly they need to find an alternate way to play at home but at too used to a perfect away system.

    Season seems to be collapsing and away at scunny is not quite the game you want But it’s away from home and ANYTHING away from home gives us a chance Our home performances should have us nearer the bottom and no where near the top the away performances is really our only hope to keep going...

    I am like most others this is a straight out 3 horse race battle, I think having watched many a relegation dogfight the crucial aspect now is who gets the most points at home as I have found in this high pressure spell away points seem harder to come by UNLESS it’s a massive must win relegation...

    I am honestly of the view with Carlisle’s transfer policy that of the 50 plus players we have brought in since new owners have taken over it nearly has all been back handed handshake deals to mates and jobs for the boys on top notch cash and not a single bit of it has involved actual scouting or...

    I still think it will be Carlisle and Tranmere. Morecambe I think have the weakest set of players on paper but they have some things that neither Tranmere or Carlisle have…….team unity, battling spirit, backing of their manager and passion.

    Tuesday could be interesting. We have Newport a place we pretty much never win at but on paper one of the few games we do have a chance with. Tranmere play fleetwood who are a better side but seem happy to gift wins to Carlisle and Morecambe recently Carlisle win and tranmere lose it may open...
