    Saturday 9th November

    We played you during your slump and we were scoring loads of goals. We're harder to beat this season but you're in miles better form than this time last year. Can see it being a tight and nervy game.

    Saturday 9th November

    Tough away day and at some point we're due an away defeat. Still, we're hard to beat with some squad depth this season and a starting eleven that can give anyone a game in this division. Hopeful draw.1-1.

    The BELEAGUERED Carlisle Utd Thread

    I'm with you on that. In bad seasons I've watched us do " spirited" cup defeats only to sink back to abysmal the week after in the bread and butter of a relegation battle.

    Stickied League 2 Away Support Thread 2024/25

    Some great attendances from some of the smaller clubs in there. In our defence having Forest dominate us for the last fifty years has definitely held our percentage down although miles better since our new owners.

    FA CUP - 1st Round

    We'd ran the legs off Alfreton by the hour. Good game to watch and Jevani Brown looks like he's playing his way back to some of the form Exeter fans talked about. Bass, Platt, Bedeau, Abbott and Jatta are turning out to be stellar signings for us. Add in Palmer getting back to his old self and...

    That sounds a more realistic appraisal of a bad team than just sack the manager, he's a clown.

    The BELEAGUERED Carlisle Utd Thread

    I'd be getting rid of Greg Abbott first, he's never shown any analytical skills, he's like Mike Bassett. We had him years ago as an older head to guide Shaun Derry and he was clueless. How many teams go through three manager seasons and come out the better for it? FGR went down last season...

    They've got a huge advantage over you and Accrington in that they've the ability to spend at the window. Despite the total despondency of some of the fans staying up is eminently achievable with Williamson and just a couple of decent signings at Christmas.

    Managerial Merry-Go-Round 2020/21

    Fair enough, you're watching them every week. Williamson did very well on a shoestring at Gateshead, won a promotion from a team that was going nowhere. He then had his two star strikers poached but kept them up comfortably, leaving them as a play-off chasing team. If you're not stubborn as a...

    He's not our best player. Bass, Jatta, Abbott, Bedeau, Platt are all consistently better. Crowley has drifted his whole career, having one stellar season in L2 where he had a defined and specific role just behind the strikers. Maynard needs to get Crowley back in that position and make sure he...

    Managerial Merry-Go-Round 2020/21

    Owners both panic and get exasperated and unlike other businesses where you can guarantee appointments to work, footballers and managers are like racehorses and don't always perform to the form book. If Carlisle sack Williamson I'd say they're more likely to go down than stay up despite him...

    Saturday 26th October

    We looked a good "team" today, greater than the sum of our parts. Defence and keeper solid, midfield mobile, fluid and positive, strikers had goal threat and wingers put balls into the box. Nowhere near perfect but noticeably better than recent weeks. Jevani Brown looked way better and seems to...

    We played well today, best in weeks. Harrogate had very little beyond hard work and being well drilled. MissedLangstaff today, it's a lot of goals to replace and I'm pretty sure he'd have scored on a day like today. We were quicker in possession going forwards, more fluid and controversially...

    Managerial Merry-Go-Round 2020/21

    I thought both them and Colchester have been playing relegation roulette for a few years. It really is the classic way to go down. Club stagnating, owners cut down funding but still expect managers to over perform, sack them and just go into a spiral of decline. Holloway looks a proper throw of...

    Who are finishing in Automatic promotion spots?

    I thought Fleetwood and Port Vale the best so far. Fleetwood for playing good football but Vale have that utilitarian hard to beat look about them and enough quality up front to take chances when they come.

    Yeah, Didz can do an hour. Be tempted to start Brown who made a difference on Tuesday. If we can avoid giving the too usual first goal away and actually take the lead I'd be hopeful for the win.

    We've got to be looking to win this. Despite injuries we've enough players to put out a good starting eleven.

    I'm surprised at your last five games of form, calamitous. How many games can you expect to lose in a season and still make top three, is it seven or thereabouts?

    Who are finishing in Automatic promotion spots?

    Port Vale and MK Dons for two. Then any of Walsall, Gills, Notts, Doncaster or Fleetwood for the other. As Valefan 16 says we ( Notts ) have won 1 in 7 but October always looked a hard month and if we beat Harrogate on Saturday overall I'd say we'd be doing well considering injuries and the...

    We're getting by because we have some classy players for the level, not because the teams playing well. It's not much fun watching us atm.
