Carlisle 0 - 2 Chesterfield.
Disappointing result and the game was in the balance for long periods.
At 1 down, Kelly had 3 opportunities to level it, then Hayden made a horrible defensive error and we're 2 down and game over.
Chesterfield are a decent team and probably deserved it today.
Bit...
I can understand his logic of putting Guy on the bench, not wanting to overwork him with the amount of games over Xmas and him just coming back from a long term injury.
But Burey on the left was baffling.
Haydens mistake leading to their second goal was a shocker.
At the end of the day, today...
In today's local paper, Williamson urges us to "trust the process". He also states it will go right to the wire.
Three home games this month, personally I would take 4 or 5 points from these all day long.
Out of the FA Youth Cup after a 2-4 loss to Plymouth.
Our future not looking good either.
Think I'll start supporting top of the league and unbeleagured Wallsall.
I'm only guessing, but maybe Greg Abbott isn't as influential as we think when it comes to signings.
I get what his position is, but Simmo (and his son) definitely had the final word on recruitment. Was/is Abbott just advisory role?
New Sporting Director, new manager, new backroom staff, clean...
Depends what you want to do.
If you only want a few beers, there's some good pubs in Bromley.
The Cask & Keg, The Bricklayers Arms and the Richmal Crompton (Wetherspoons) spring to mind.
Good craic both pre and post match.
The only doubt I've got is our injuries.
Guy, Kelly, Thomas, Robson, Wyke, Jones, Davies.
All important players, two of them out for the season and the others with recurring niggles.
A good window and a lucky streak of no more major injuries, and fingers crossed, well be alright.
Agree, this is a big month for us.
Last season is a different situation.
We had a losing mentality.
Simmo was publicly criticising his squad.
There was trouble behind the scenes (allegedly) with our S&C coach and players.
Simpson was old school and didn't know how to deal with the modern day...
Zero evidence?
Unbeaten in 5, 3 clean sheets in these 5 games (if I include Wigan).
Tougher to beat.
Hammerings at Gillingham and Wimbledon are long gone.
We're under transition, survival this season and build for next.
I'm 100% convinced we'll be safe.
We're bottom of the league again, but people are realistic rather than delusional.
It can't be denied that performances and results are miles better now than they were in Sept/Oct.
We're going to be in the bottom 8 for the rest of the season, but we're good enough to finish above the bottom 2...
We're not all pessimistic.
Players getting back to fitness, a more solid football formation, better mental strength and more unity.
Whatever the result today, it will be a close game.
Marathon, not a sprint.
We're bottom of the league now, but plenty of games left to get out of it.
I'm predicting we'll finish 15th.
Which will be brilliant, given the start to the season we had.
I've got massive faith in Mike Williamson getting us up to L1 in time.
Sorry Carver, but totally disagree.
Slowly but surely he's putting his stamp on the team.
We're more confident and comfortable on the ball, we've tightened up defensively, good possession, stronger mentality and more teamwork than we've had for 12 months.
Unfortunately, Simmo wrecked us and...
My 1st visit to Salford, dour game but 3 points is all that matters.
Got to say, Salford is a poor away day. Lack of pubs nearby, poor view if away end full, toilets are embarrassing, poor home support!!
We're closing the gap on teams above us, last two games have really boosted us.
I get what you're saying but...
For the first 60 minutes we played great, better team by far.
Some big individual displays from Breeze, Thomas, Neal and DAA.
Playing out from the back actually worked today.
Then, after 60 minutes, fitness levels meant Burey and DAA were substituted and with...
