    As horrible as it sounds the problem for Carlisle today was needing better game management. They did the hard part went in 1-0 up at half time. Second half needs to be full of every dirty trick it the book, constant fouls, time wasting, getting stuck in, hack their best player take a yellow...

    I know it’s obvious issues when your bottom but usual two crucial issues at present that we cannot keep a clean sheet at all and away from home just cannot grind out a draw if in a decent position. Needs sorted in the summer whole new back line for me the current lot are all utterly hopeless

    So do Curzon Ashton in the conference north, but the game is then also about knowing how to quickly get it forward……..we’ve only had six months so we need about of time yet to muster forward play Sideways is at least going a little more the right direction

    Terrible have been neglecting Curzon with the fun and laughter that is the Carlisle sideshow. We signed a player yesterday for money striker from Macclesfield. Huge few days you could argue our title chances come or go in the next four days, kings Lynn home then scunny away. To be fair isn’t...

    At the very least now with Carlisle we have a manager able to get the ball sideways than backwards…………progress after 1 year, 3 managers, 50 odd players This time next year we may even move it diagonally forward But hey sideways football…….wow

    We have to address both short term and long term issues and that is the tough balancing act. Yes survival is an enormous bonus and it is possible, as mentioned on the radio last night all we need to focus on now is we are in a 3 team league with tranmere and Morecambe and at present all that...

    This club may suit Hughes so will have to see his management was at its best when he used to be in the ‘against the odds’ type top flight manager doing better with poor average clubs. Once in came to big budgets and higher expectations he’s failed, maybe the last gasp nothing to lose against...

    Managerial Merry-Go-Round 2020/21

    I personally think Hughes is a desperation appointment made by people who have no clue about the lower league but have gone ‘I have heard of Manchester united’ and seen him on tv in America and then appointed him and in the long term it will probably fail. It may work on this short term...

    My worry with that is it means we are going into conference with another stupid ‘project’ manager. I’d much rather got someone like Derek Adam’s in, very good record, would stabilise it and sort us out for conference than take us into it pretending we are real bloody Madrid. Shall just have to...

    The weird thing is although of course it’s all rumour mills is it sounds like we had the choice of Brady or Evatt and have decided on Hughes. Evatt met but wanted his wages from Bolton maybe that was a step too high but considering the cash wasted this season it’s surprising that was an issue...

    But hughes has been on sky tv before so our owners will recognise him and that maybe the most important thing. I think hg and me are of same opinion at present it isn’t on survival or not, more starting to slow the sinking ship and plan for next. From comments neither hughes or Kennedy is...

    To be fair Hughes’s as a long term manager…..no, he’s no chance of progressing club. Hughes maybe as an experienced manager to settle the ship……..possibly

    I don’t think our owners prepared for this, had they acted on Boxing Day we’d had a lot of options as you could promise an entire new set of players……..whatever they wanted. What can you offer now apart from a summer re build. I wanted Adam’s as a next season option but if they have to just do...

    Well I sortve had us at both inept but for different reasons. I mean your levels of inept are not near ours which soar so high we’d reach mars, but yours is down to the fact it’s 100% obvious it needs a managerial change and they simply won’t do it and now are leaving it almost too late. Ours...

    It says everything about the state of this club that we have brought in more players than probably any other club in England this season, may have had 40 plus players and yet here we are in February and have only 4 actual players in the entire club who can play in defence, all of them as centre...

    I’m not sure on the whole. I e part of me says in the last 20 years most sides have come up and done better than the sides who constantly stumbled around div 4/3/l2 On other hand I as a northern club fan have watch clubs over the years clubs who would bring 500-1000 away fans and clubs getting...
